Bob Barbour has always liked this kind of furniture and always seemed to find originals at auctions and out of the way spots. When he couldn’t find just the right thing for his retail stores, he started making various pieces out of odds and ends and the response was encouraging. Folks would tell him what they wanted in the way of unique, affordable pieces to use everyday in their homes. Since Bob has always had a keen eye for primitive pieces (and never forgets a terrific color or unusual original) he began sketching his own designs and to this day has literally hundreds of those sketches and photographs of period furniture.
