Fine Art, Decorative Accents and Window Treatments

A summary of New England's best resources for the home

November/December 2011


Fine Art

J. Todd Galleries, founded in 1980, is one of Boston's longest established contemporary art galleries. Whether looking for traditional or modern art, art appraisal services, art restoration, corporate art or custom picture framing, J. Todd is considered to be one of the leading art galleries in Massachusetts. Located near Boston, the gallery maintains one of the largest online art galleries in New England. Searchers can view artwork by subject and location, plus they can see a constantly changing array of over 1,200 images online and over 4,000 in the gallery, such as the oil painting above, Bridge Glow, by Julia O'Malley-Keyes. J. Todd Galleries, 572 Washington St., Wellesley, Mass. (781) 237-3434

Quidley & Company Fine Art Galleries work with clients to build collections of distinction. Seen here is the latest work from Evan Wilson. Before the Ball is a 36 x 30" oil painting, framed in an exquisite twenty-two karat gold leaf frame by Guido Frames. Wilson's works are in the permanent collection of multiple museums, though this painting is available for private acquisition. Art appreciators will be reminded of the genre scenes of Vermeer, or Boston School artists Tarbell and Paxton, while investment-oriented individuals will appreciate the opportunity to expand their diversified holdings with collector-grade artwork. Quidley & Company, 118 Newbury St., Boston, Mass. (617) 450-4300

Window Treatments

There are many places you can find shutters these days, but none quite the same as Back Bay Shutter. The whole company is made up of crazy perfectionists who live to make the perfect shutter. Handcrafted individually, custom finished, these shutters can be made to fit any size window from the shallow to the oversized. They’re also professionally installed and made to last. If you’re looking for shades (manually operated or motorized), Back Bay can help you with those too. Best of all, our sales representatives are smart, friendly, and just a little nuts about good customer service. Back Bay Shutter Co., 169 Merrimac St., Woburn, Mass. (781) 221-0100
