* fine linen napkins with different

embroidered adjectives on each corner
— these are best sellers "It starts a
conversation at every dinner," Tom
fills me. A damask table runner runs
about $250 but if you want an special
effect, these would create spectacular
table settings.
However, the dining tables,
antique chairs, silver flatware and of
course, the porcelain are extremely
rare. A Victorian piece of furniture
on wheels Tom refers to as a trolley,
sells out as soon as they come in;
Lchey are used as bars. As for the set
of six dining chairs from the late
1700s, they would set the lucky
owner back about $10,000.
Further along the highway is
Sheffield, filled with rows of antique
shops — 80 of them are members of
the Berkshire County Antique
Dealers Association. We don't stop
isut continue to Lenox where Sydelle
Shapiro, Stone's Throw Antiques on
Church Street is housed in a pretty
clapboard building. Here there is a
great selection of furniture and acces-
sories, too.
With balance sheet in hand and a
full wallet, all I could suggest, is that
if you're in the market for exquisite
antiques, it's a lot less expensive to
ead for the mountains (Berkshires)
than to cross over the big pond (the
Atlantic).
