PROPRIETORS Ruth Van Tassel and Don Baumann have been partners in the antiques field and in life for over twenty-five years. In that time Quite a few of their discoveries have found a place in the finest private collections as well as in prominent institutions including The Metropolitan Museum, Winterthur, Independence Historic Park, The Heritage Center Museum of Lancaster County, the Ackworth School Estates Park in England and The Westmoreland Museum.

Ruth and Don's focus on American furniture and antique needlework samplers has allowed them to accumulate much information on these subjects. They always look forward to learning something new and exchanging information with interested parties.

RUTH VAN TASSEL is a skilled and very experienced needlework conservator and over the past fifteen years has handled hundreds of antique samplers for both private collections and museums. SAMPLER AND NEEDLEWORK CONSERVATION is an in-house service we offer including cleaning, mounting, and framing. We are always happy to see your antique sampler and give a condition analysis and casual appraisal. Ruth enjoys sharing her knowledge of sampler conservation and antique needlework in general and she regularly makes presentations at shows, museums, and historical organizations.

DON BAUMANN grew up in a family of artists and collectors. He was introduced to antiques as a child traveling with his parents from shop to shop in Bucks County, Pa. His interest in the objects and the dealers and collectors who pursue them has grown over the years into an active business, one that Don likes to think of as an ongoing treasure hunt.
