A new window for the shop for a new year beginning.
Louie tonight.
November 15th, marked the start of my fiftieth year in the world of antiques. It also marked the beginning of the last year of the shop in its current iteration. Methinks that will be just long enough for my brilliant career.
Over the coming year, I will still be here selling the current inventory and open to reasonable offers on most anything in the shop, open on Saturdays, eleven to four and by appointment through the end of next year. To be clear: I am not quitting; I will be stepping back for awhile. Fifty years of the "shop first" qualifies as an excellent run. No? So I will be open less frequently, perhaps by appointment only. Thereafter, year fifty-one, my plan is to be on to new and different adventures. Thank you all for your patronage and support for half a century. How did that happen? Blink of an eye.... Isak

Rare Newcomb College crash linen table runner with a darning stitch pattern of yellow flowers, perhaps Southern Magnolias, in what I believe is Pearsall's tussah silk with green, purple and blue thread in the background. 44" Length. 18" Width, including its embroidered circle border repeat. In generally good condition with some slight staining, a stitched center and the linen's ends which are doubled over and stitched in the same very fine and even manner. The runner has been stored, folded in a drawer for at least twenty years rather than rolled which I have done since acquiring it. Rolling it for storage has softened the folds somewhat and I am certain it will improve greatly from the proper conservation which I will leave to its next owner.

William Keith landscape. oil on board, in a polychrome frame with carved peonies by Arthur and Lucia Mathews' furniture shop, c. 1906. (The clouds of the old century break as the blue sky and the sunshine of a new century begins.) Oil on board: 4 3/4" x 8 1/4 ". frame: 14" x 18". $40,000
"A Happy New Year, from William Keith to John Zeile, January 1, 1900. S. F." William Keith, premier California painter occupied a space in the same house in which the Mathews had their Furniture Shop as a post earthquake business endeavor along with their publication, Philopolis. The building was the home of Zeile who was their partner in business at 1717 California Street in San Francisco.
I owned this particular painting some thirty years ago. It was formerly in the collection of my old friend, noted Northern California collector and dealer, Don Ritchie, from whom I purchased the painting. I then sold it to the Getty family. Thereafter it was housed in Bernard Maybeck's Temple of the Wings in Berkeley, 2800 Buena Vista Way. After Ann Getty's passing, many of the objects in their home in Pacific Heights were offered for sale. I was fortunate to be able to buy the framed artwork a second time and bring it back to the city in which it was painted and where its illustrious frame was carved and painted as well. William Keith's and the Furniture Shop's turn of the century association is well documented. (I've been told that both the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento and the De Young Museum here in San Francisco have or have had two or more Keith paintings in Mathews frames but I have yet to see them or corroborate this information.) It means a lot to me to be able to offer this wonderful collaborative work of art again; unexpected, gentle surprise in the ever-turning world of things.The Maybeck house has an interesting history worth reading which can be reached through the link which follows: http://berkeleyheritage.com/berkeley_landmarks/temple_of_wings.html
Seven volume set of extremely rare issues of Philopolis, the art issues published by Arthur and Lucia Mathews. 1906-1915. Profusely illustrated, hand colored covers. The covers in various states of disrepair; the interiors clean as a whistle. $1400.
