Gary Ludlow left the world of management
consulting in 1978, and he and his wife, Martha, went into the antiques
business on a full-time basis. We
decided to deal only in American furniture because we really loved
the interpretation that Colonial and Federal craftsmen put on primarily
English designs. Our goal was
to deal in the best antiques we could afford. In 1980 we became Gary & Martha Ludlow,
Inc. In the ensuing years we
have continued to operate as we started; namely, buying the best examples
we could find and selling them from our shop and at antique shows around
the country. We have bought
and sold hundreds of pieces of William and Mary, Queen Anne, Chippendale,
Hepplewhite, Sheraton and Classical furniture.
These were pieces made by skilled artisans working in large urban
cities, such as Boston and Philadelphia, as well as less formal
“country” versions made in rural areas.
We also carry a full line of accessories.
Our clientele includes beginning to advanced collectors, fellow
antique dealers, decorators and museums.
We are frequently asked to speak to various organizations about
antiques, and we advertise regularly in various trade publications, such
as ”Maine Antique Digest.” We are members of the prestigious trade group, the Antique Dealers’ Association of America, Inc. The ADA’s major objective is to make more professional the business of buying and selling antiques. Members are professional dealers who are dedicated to integrity, honesty and ethical conduct in the antiques trade. All members are required to guarantee their merchandise in writing on an invoice that states the approximate age, origin, condition and restoration, if any. |
