Services
Welcome to our store at Janet's Antiques LLP in Madison, Wisconsin, and to our online store at http://www.janetsantiques.com. We are a family business of mother, Janet Holden Hoopes, and Elizabeth Jane Barber, daughter. We started this business in 1973 by doing antique shows. We soon had a small storefront, and then an old house, and now, by God's grace, a beautiful new shop on University and Midvale in Madison.
If you wish to sell an antique, it is advisable to make an appointment before bringing it into the shop. Alternatively, we can generally determine whether we are interested in an item from a good photograph. Japanese and Chinese decorative arts including bronzes, silver, cloisonne, porcelain, pottery and furniture.
American Towle Old Colonial pattern monogrammed vermeil sterling silver cream ladle.
First issued in 1895, Towle's Old Colonial pattern reflects a Neoclassical influence from Colonial America, presented with a flanged fluted bowl, recalling architectural columnar shafts, dipping from a handle molded with two elongated beaded "C" scrolls enclosing a slender waisted lower shaft, and the upper shaft rounding between two small beaded "C" scrolls underlying an ogee-molded end punctuated with two beaded serpentine-scrolls flanking a paneled urn having a dramatic flame finial cut-out between the scrolls to suggest a "broken pediment" recalling the Early American case furniture.

This is the second time I've visited Janet's Antiques, both unpleasant (and memorable--but for the wrong reasons) experiences. Here is what happened today. When I arrived, an angry-appearing dog was barking at the entrance. Another woman explained she wanted to wait to enter so the dog would not run away. The "owner" later appeared from around the corner of the building with another dog. The three of us, plus one dog, entered together. Both dogs were unruly. The owner did not greet me, but instead spent the next 23 minutes talking with the other woman, whom she clearly knew
