Even before I was born my mother, Ms. Connie was collecting "Royal Doulton" figurines. She continued bringing home fabulous antiques and special collections throughout her life, from her hometown of Staffordshire England, to some fabulous places like New Orleans, LA, Kansas City, MO, Columbia, SC, Nashville, TN and finally to Austin, Texas where she retired after becoming afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease 2 years ago.
Her tastes for fine antiques included the unusual as well as noteable periods like Victorian, Louis XV, Roccoco Revival and Colonial, in her favorite rich woods like Walnut, Mahogany and Oak with lots of carving and elaborate detail. She even has some early American Antiques. Her collections include Seth Thomas clocks, Royal Doulton figurines, Wedgewood and several other fine china, silver and bronze collections up to her latest fascination with Gargoyles which began about 15 years ago when I bought her a small gargoyle statue while on vacation. Her gargoyle and dragon collection now includes over 950 pieces.
I hope you enjoy Ms. Connie's antiques and collectibles as much as she has because she still loves, cherishes, and remembers each and every piece.
