David A. Schorsch and Eileen M. Smiles American Antiques is one of the world’s leading dealers and authorities in the field of American antiques and folk art, specializing in weathervanes, folk paintings, folk sculpture, formal and country furniture and Shaker design. Since 1995, David A. Schorsch has worked with Eileen M. Smiles, located in Woodbury, Connecticut, where they maintain a gallery in a restored early 19th century building in the heart of the town’s historic district. We seek to acquire the finest quality works and consistently offer a select inventory of hand-picked curated objects that are guaranteed.  In addition to our gallery, we exhibit at major antique fairs including The Winter Show, and The Philadelphia Antiques and Art Show.

David and Eileen share a wealth of knowledge and expertise.  Based on decades of combined experience with discerning taste and a well-honed eye, our standards of evaluation are unique and set us apart from every other dealer in decorative arts.   We understand the importance of research, and through the lens of the most current scholarship, we evaluate the artistic merit, quality of workmanship, condition, rarity, and provenance of every antique that we buy and sell. We work closely with collectors of all levels providing professional advice on building and refining collections.
