antique architect


Two Feathers Trading
My walk began up the driveway that loomed with bamboo and grand arches of the past, the evening sun burned a path in front of me. As I emerged into the courtyard, it opened up into a wide open space that was filled with old barns bordered with rod iron, bins of old doorknobs, chains & light fixtures, aged doors, windows, and a graveyard of ivory bathtubs with legs, sinks and rusted metal stoves. The collective assortment is a photographers dream.
My children call him the rock man, he is quite the resourceful and very knowledgeable gentleman on the remains of the past, not to mention a good friend of the family.
Currently, his best collection involves treasures from the Southwestern American Indians. A showcase of baskets, pottery, ladles, blankets, & jewlery just to mention a few.
For thirty years Rick has been an antique collector. Located in King NC, he travels as far as the northern states to gather these unique collectibles. You never know what you'll come across, it changes like the wind. But to walk among these things and find treasures that speak to you is truly amazing, not to mention the energy from the past that spills out and flows together creating a combination of different eras, history & cultures.
Not only does Rick have these items for sale & trade, but he also has art shows and rents the venue for events, such as small weddings and parties. Whether your in the market for these type things, remodeling a historical home, a collector, seller, or just curious, it is well worth checking out!
