American Life Antiques My shop is an offering of Antique American and British Pewter, Hearth Iron, Painted Tinware,
Other Metal Wares and Decorative Arts of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Also, the shop offers select collectibles and reference books on antiques.
As a collector and dealer for over 25 years, the items used in everyday early American life have
appealed to me. Whether due to the inherent soft gleaming beauty of pewter, the colorful artistry of decorated tinware, or the rounded form of a cast iron pitcher, my eye is drawn to these
commonplace items.
The average early American could not afford singularly fancy decorative objects but still desired
to bring art, color and light into their world. Whether the shining bright pewter found
throughout the house, the colorful glass at the table, or the penny foot iron trivet at the hearth,
early Americans found satisfaction in the artful utilitarian pieces surrounding them.
While originally useful functioning items, all of the antiques at American Life Antiques are
objects that have drawn me because they are beautiful objects in their own right. Nonetheless, in
almost every instance, these scarce antiques remain useful as well as decorative. I hope these
offerings appeal to you as well.
