Jonathan Looper Antiques has been providing collectors with the tools and knowledge to acquire, build, and maintain outstanding collections of period furniture and fine art for over ten years.
As a conservator/restorer Jonathan has developed an intimate understanding of furniture and the applied arts that compliment his areas of expertise. He has had the luxury of being able to deconstruct rare objects, enabling him to experience the thought processes of the craftsmen who originally created the pieces. From understanding how wood ages to maintaining the quirky construction techniques found on early vernacular furniture, Jonathan has the conceptual aptitude and keen eye to preserve the integrity of his collection.
With a never ending thirst for knowledge, Jonathan and his wife Danielle have traveled throughout England, Europe, and America studying pieces in museums and private collections. Jonathan believes in the history of these pieces - whether it is a rare Elizabethan court cupboard or a Spanish child's chair -they all have stories to tell.
Jonathan is a rare dealer who truly loves the pieces he sells, and his enthusiasm is highly contagious. He can explain the history and importance of an object and in the next breath detail the steps it takes to maintain its beauty. You will leave his shop not only with a better knowledge of antiques, but also with a small piece of history.
