“Besides being a supreme craftsman, Ray is a purveyor of marvelous oddities like the recycled-aluminum creatures--flamingoes, penguins, pigs, roosters--that I've collected over the years. These all-weather friends "hide" in plain sight, peeking out from behind trees & shrubs, delighting toddlers, amusing passersby. Yesterday as I turned onto Ridge in Wilmette, a green dinosaur in front of Ray's shop flagged me down & asked where I've been! He & his brilliant friends, peacock & owl, made me laugh--& for a moment I forgot about Covid 19, my husband's stroke, the war in Ukraine, global warming. Who could resist that? And so our menagerie grows--in size & popularity. Thanks to Ray”
“I have visited West End Antiques a number of times over the years. Michael is a pleasure to work with -- so knowledgable and welcoming. His gallery is filled with treasures and he delights in showing you the latest of his finds -- many of which have ended up in my home! His appraisal work is comprehensive and timely -- perfect for insurance purposes.Visit West End if you get a chance -- it is well worth the time!”
“I enjoyed this shop and Steve was helpful without being intrusive. Perfect balance. Nice and interesting works of art, jewelry, furniture and others. Found two fun sewing books from early 20th c.”
