The 20th Century Home

     These great  Centennials from Chase guard over the home in absolute style.  By land or water they have you covered.  We all agree that Chase's Centennial Bookends are at the top of collector's lists. To find a pair as exquisitely taken care of as these is indeed a rare find. These are of our personal collection but if you are lucky in these vast pages you may just find a pair if we are so fortunate in finding a pair.

   The 20th Century home was on a style and elegance. Some may think the 30's and 40's were times of great want or turmoil but people in spite of the economy or world turmoil found a way to make what would have been years of gloom and doom to be years of lines, colors and sparkle inspired by great designers like Von Nessen, the Gerths, Russel Wright and others. These years proved that one did not have to succumb to the darkness a fallen economy or to the tragedies of war but to rise over it and give reason to look forward to better times.

   Collecting and using some of the great pieces available here gives cause to keep the 20th Century alive. Many of these pieces are highly sought after pieces and already bring high prices. These prices will rise steadily and collecting them now while available is a wise investment. Where else can you find an investment that is so stylish and you can enjoy displaying while it's value exponentially increases? 

   Many of our pieces wonderfully examples of the times and usable. You can have a wonderful time absorbing yourself into a table set up in Chase, Farber Bros., Manning and Bowman, etc pieces. Light up the candles, sit back and just make some 20th Century moment memories today.
