Thomas J. Perry established his business, One of a Kind Antiques, in Chester, CT, in 1975. He has over 36 years of full-time experience buying and selling antiques, art, and vintage objects, dating from antiquity through the 20th century. His wife, Cheri-Ann, joined him in business in 1985. Their reference library contains over 8,000 volumes of research material. Their professional network includes experts in every specialty. They keep abreast of auction results and market trends affecting antique values all over the world. Back in 1976, Tom?s research led to the important discovery of a library table made by Boston cabinetmakers Erving and Casson. This table was an inauguration gift to President Abraham Lincoln from his cabinet. Tom purchased it and donated it to the White House, where it is displayed. His letter of thanks from First Lady Betty Ford and White House Curator Clement Conger hangs in their office. Tom and Cheri-Ann have listed on their website over 6000 items
