The Menlo Marys
Call us the rescue crew. We are on a mission to preserve furniture and other goods crafted in centuries past by keeping them out of dumpsters and out of the hands of those who would dare to chalk-paint them! What it boils down to is an appreciation for and love of the craftsmanship in things that were made by hand, when power tools weren't around and goods weren't mass-produced, We source for dealers, auctioneers, and collectors. Feel free to contact us when you are in the Tucson area and we will be happy to show you our finds.
