just noticed a new section on 1stdibs.com for antique dealers in washington, d.c.

according to a report on washingtonpost.com, 1st dibs was scheduled to list the area’s dealers and their items this month. judging by the remarkable selection that is already online, i’m certain many of the pieces will be sold soon.

although the prices are steep, the range and brilliance of the aged beauties is outstanding. from a fine and rare 18th century mirror to a pair of abstract sculptural lamps, the d.c. selection on 1stdibs.com is extraordinary.
