Acquisitions, Ltd.

Through the antiques which they present in each of their three stores in North Carolina, Ben Everett and Ross Spain graciously speak well of Europe's past. Located in Raleigh and Charlotte, the refined collections of home furnishings accents and accessories offer an outstanding glimpse of traditions born during the three previous centuries.

Drawn to the business in 1990 by the thrill of the hunt, the two gentlemen from Raleigh have gained an excellent reputation for providing North Carolinians with quality antiques at an affordable price. Ben and Ross understand the design preferences of homeowners throughout the area which is reflected in the pieces they acquire during their six buying trips to England and France each year. Woods mellowed into rich tones, handcrafted generations ago into dining room tables and chairs, chests and sideboards, thoughtfully blend with gilded mirrors and porcelains, ceramics and chandeleirs.

The success which Ben and Ross have realized is due to their emphasis on establishing long-term relationships with their clients. "We want to place the right piece with the right client. We listen and carefully consider their needs," explains Ross. When they move or add on to their home and need new pieces, they will think of us - and across the state, we will be there for them."
