It is our belief that beautiful and interesting pieces can work well together regardless of where they were made.

This web site contains only a fraction of our extensive and ever changing collection.

News

Sightings of crocuses and daffodils are just around the corner. This is a perfect time to freshen up our spaces by adding a touch of spring to our days. We have an excellent selection of garden tiles or plaques by sculptor Richard Abbot from Maine. His company, Home and Garden Ornament, specializes in uniquely decorative/architectural sculpture. All or the pieces are original designs, that is they are NOT impressions or casts of natural artifacts or living creatures, nor are they copies of other persons' work. Richard looks for inspiration from various aspects of nature, as well as drawing upon the rich resources of past art and history. He prefers to use the 'real thing' for subject matter, but will also make use of photographs, paintings and drawings when necessary. His tiles have a galvanized wire cast into the back for easy hanging on any surface, indoors or out, and can also be treated as a tile and set into a wall as a back splash or accent. Alongside the tiles is a glass flower by Christopher Belleau of Rhode Island. He and his skilled assistants work the molten glass by coupling traditional hot glass techniques and contemporary innovation. His work is a great example of American creativity and craftsmanship. Stop by and see this fine collection of garden tiles and glass flowers.
