Our annual summer markdowns have just
been completed. We have taken significant reductions on over 1000
items. Many are displayed under "markdowns" on our website, harpgallery.com. This is a
great opportunity to save money on treasures from the past. These
pieces are now even more affordable, be the first to check out the good
deals.

item to visit it on our web site.)
"The problem with being a
poet is what to do with the other 23 ½ hours a day," Max

people arises from its authors," Samuel

notes.
"What we play is life,"
Louis Armstrong.
If you don’t play trumpet but would like
to tickle the ivories instead, try our 7 foot 1897 grand piano in dazzling
mahogany.
"We don’t see things as they
are, we see them as we are," French novelist Anais.

Horace Walpole called Mary Shelley,
the author of Frankenstein, "A hyena in petticoats."
An offended lady might check her hemline
in our Petticoat Mirror, a necessity in every proper Southern

adorable pancreas?" Jean Kerr.

painted history with our illuminated musical manuscripts on

"Drama is very important in
life. You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with
a whimper. Everything can have drama if it’s done right. Even a pancake,"
Julia Child.
Drama is just what this Italian sideboard
has - with marble, gold angels and Roman chariots.
"Love, love, love, that is
the soul of genius," Mozart.
You will love, love, love our incredible
carved backbar with figures of Dionysus, the god of wine, Atlas holding up
the world, and cavorting cherubs.

and never simple," Oscar Wilde.

designs we have ever seen.

day, and they are organized by category for easy browsing. Our
items can be shipped almost anywhere. Truckloads of "new treasures"
are constantly arriving in every style and price range. Many more
items are now shown on our website, click on them to enlarge close-up
pictures and descriptions.

love to help beautify another home, and we really appreciate every new
customer. Thank you for your business.
