Everett Reid has been buying and collecting antiques since he was a teenager and was inspired by his mother, who was an avid collector and worked at Nantucket House Antiques for many years. Over the years in their shops on Nantucket and in New Preston, CT they were fortunate to have the help of Richard Orsatti, antique dealer and picker extraordinaire. Linda and Everett designed and decorated their restaurants on Nantucket and in CT with antiques and curiosities sourced from their travels throughout Europe and Morocco. As was showcased in their restaurants, the pieces chosen for their shop create warmth and intimacy and tell a story of their origins.
