I will also be starting another photo session of vintage posters, so watch for those in the “Posters” (etc.) Gallery!

In the black navigation bar at the bottom of this page, you will find a new category: “Splinters” – short thoughts caused by sharp moments.

I continue photographing my backlog of additional Antiques, Design, and Art,  and I have begun posting the new shots.  If they lack information, please revisit them in a day or two.  You may email me if there is something in which you are especially interested and want an alert as soon as possible.

NEWS only weeks old:  After twenty years of being a “brick and mortar” business as well as sixteen years of being an internet business, FUTURES Antiques is now entirely and exclusively located on the Web.  All Antiques, Design, and Art will be available for viewing on thissite (with a percentage being previewed on the FUTURES Antiques Facebook

 

FUTURES Antiques deals exclusively in the last century – OUR century – of Art, Design, Collectibles, and Cultural Artifacts. Since 1991, I have offered high-style, investment-level furnishings, design, and art; fine mid-range collectibles; profoundly low-class kitsch; and category-defying cultural artifacts.  DAILY changes are made to this site: new items are posted in the “Shop” page galleries and on Facebook, and just-purchased items are moved to the “Sold” gallery.  Also, I rant and ponder Art, Design, business, and Life from my personal trench on my “News & Opinions” and “Archives” pages.  You’re invited to blog-in!

To view the FUTURES INVENTORY COLLECTION: click the “Shop” button (above, in the black navigation bar). If you want MORE INFORMATION on an item (larger view, history, condition, dimensions, price, etc.) click on its THUMBNAIL photo.

If you have further questions, please ask!  (Also check the “Policies” page).  We all know the Web can be a complicated, sometimes intentionally vague place… especially for unique Antiques, Design, and Art. Rest assured I prefer total transparency AND security for the both of us here at FUTURES Antiques.
