Douglas Rosin Decorative Arts & Antiques

Very unprofessional husband and wife team of time-​wasters!
Caveat Emptor.
Jack & Jill of all things but MASTER OF NONE! That’s the problem, anyone can now be an «expert,» a «dealer,» selling anything to anyone at anytime anyplace.
Anyone can put things on EBAY, or set up a website and, with minimal knowledge, post a bunch of stuff for sale.
These people have proved to me that they are NOT professionals… ma and pa kettle hawking stuff. We had agreements in ADVANCE, all they of a sudden changed their mind — no explanation, just a half-​a _​_​_​_​excuse. COST ME TIME AND $$$ with their cavalier BS and gross incompetence.
So BEWARE, you’ve been advised. If you want to deal with professionals and those that know what they are speaking about then take the time to find out who they are. If your time is of little value then of course you can deal with anyone that hangs out a shingle Antiques, Home Décor, Jewelry, etc.
Judging by the reviews its obvious most folks are easily swayed and impressed, and wouldn’t know truly fine art, antiques, jewelry, etc. from run-​of-​the-​mill items. For most therefore it probably makes no difference since their standard are not very discerning, but if you truly want quality and value you have to be selective.

Some really cool stuff in here. If you get to enter. You have to get buzzed in, and then they will open the large glass front door. It felt like an exchange between a zoo animal and a tourist, but I’m not certain which part of that relation I was occupying. Was it my slush-​covered Aldo dress shoes or my thick-​cut wool Paddington Bear looking winter coat, that convinced the shop keep that I was docile enough to enter? Did they not notice that I’d been wearing the same underwear and undershirt for 3 days? or that my winter gloves were covered in ketchup (see my McDonald’s review) and in need of some darning? Or that my jeans were stained a bit from last night’s dancing with a full glass of whiskey and vermouth? In any event, they buzzed us in, and in we went. One of the two shop keeps got up from her desk and walked to the front to examine us more closely — she also said she wanted to acknowledge our being. hmmm, it felt metaphysically comforting but I wasn’t sure we weren’t being dressed down (rhetorically… we would’ve been shoo’ed away had I actually been undressing cuz of the olfactory state of my undergarments. I was traveling… what was to be done?)
having passed the entranced unsniffed, we spent a good hour gawking at all the pricey trinkets that clutter the bright but cupboard’y quarters. Much of it looks like the back of a Warner Brothers Studio set. A golden ashtray for $ 550. A mirror rimmed in boar-​tusks. You get the picture.

This place is a gem for finding unique art, jewelry, and furniture. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have an amazing selection of vintage jewelry (including Chanel) for both men and women. This is the place to go to to find unique, first-​class decorative art and antiques in Chicago.

The mix of décor in this place is top notch and recommend checking it out if fine art and antiques are your thing. Although things are pricey– that is to be expected concerning the quality of the merchandise.
I will definitely go back again!!!

This place has all sorts of stuff. On display are jewelry, prints, antiques, and other decorative arts from the 20^th Century.
