The revitalization of North Broad Street continues to gain momentum.
Following the openings of restaurants Vie and Route 6, Calderwood Gallery has
opened is brand new greatly expanded showroom across the street on 631 N. Broad.
Calderwood Gallery features interesting and unique furnishings and rare classic
photographs.

Calderwood Gallery launched in 1982 by Janet and Gary Calderwood, built
an international following as a world-class resource for original
French Art Deco (1910-1950) furniture by the most illustrious designers.
The gallery has a vast inventory that includes works by Ruhlmann,
Arbus, Leleu, Dominique, Jallot, Dufrene, Follot, Subes, and their
contemporaries from that pivotal era in the timeline of fine design.

Some years ago, together with son, Chris Calderwood (r), they expanded to
include innovative decorative arts from the 60s-80s with emphasis on
pieces that incorporated interesting materials like Lucite and cork,
fossil stone and coral.
