Founder and owner Ronan Clarke comments
"Great estates have small and large pieces worthy of great museums - the oriental carpets; gilt bronze sconces, chandeliers, and lamps such as the blackamoor pair; unusual jewelry; and fine antique Italian and Midcentury Modern furniture. The difference at Clarke is that you can walk on the carpets, try on the jewelry, sit in the chairs, and take them home Monday night. .
