We believe in fostering client relationships, often over a shared meal.

Today’s spread is from our favorite Boston bagel spot, @exodusbagels

It’s an example of how we approach our work: with confidence, a dash of personality, and a focus on delivering exceptional experiences.

Life is compared to a journey, a river, or a book, but perhaps a more vivid and metaphor for life is a kaleidoscope — constantly shifting, full of color and never quite the same.

Join the Hunt! Next stop: Cambridge, MA! 👉 HuntEstateSales.com.

Last week we got a call from a shopper, he used to work at the Fuller Craft Museum and was able to identify two unknowns for us, including the tall bottle form vase, and the salt shaker, by Seth Nagelberg of Nail Mountain Studio. Thank YOU!

“I feel as if I should sometime attain a precise notion of the meaning of nature’s most beautiful display”.

This concept seems challenging…

But then again, I already know the I already.

Wanna guess?

Rugs tell a story, they bring a floor to life. An undeniable asset, if not a bit of pageantry that instantly enhances your decor.

These timeless, theatrical and bold pieces should not be defined as decorative accessories, but as full-fledged participants.

Working on an event that needs translation; can’t express how grateful we are for the support from our community.

These panels are Tang dynasty poems by two poets.

“Moss grows on the three paths, bathed in white dew.”

“The moonlight and the sound of the river are shared by one building.”

During WWII there was a shortage of cream-colored boxes. The supplier resorted to what they had left. It happened to be orange.

Generations of boxes have followed!
