Paul Polce’s dad and grandfather were cabinet makers so his passion for fine and well-made furniture runs deep. He has been a collector and dealer most of his life.
"I am very happy to be here, I missed a lot of my friends," Polce said. "We haven’t seen them in a year or so, and I am looking forward to seeing a lot of retail people I haven’t seen in a long time and hope for the best."
Jackie Spiegel deals in pretty much everything, but loves primitive painted surfaces, painted furniture and jewelry.
"I am pretty across the board with what I do," said Spiegel. "You just start unloading and hope for the best. A lot of times dealers buy from dealers."
