The older paintings on this page came home with us from our sourcing trips, one at a time: a fair crowd from the late 1800s, two portraits of girls, a harbor, a pastoral, skaters on a frozen pond, a barn in the snow. Each has a few decades, or more than a century, behind it.

The second half belongs to Patti McCarthy, a living painter whose work we buy in Adamstown, Pennsylvania. She paints on whatever is at hand, often old Florentine boards, and her subjects are dogs, children, fruit and the odd rabbit.

Every piece is one of one. When a painting sells, it is gone from this page for good. Everything is wrapped by hand in Bryn Mawr and ships free anywhere in the U.S.
