Bradford House Antiques LLC:  is our parent company. Originally, we had two stores side by side.  Bradford House Antiques was our antique silver and objects d’art shop. Lawrence Jeffrey was the jewel box. In 2006, we were able to break through the walls and combine the two locations. The Bradford House name honors Bill and Harriet Kaschube, Sandra’s parents and Jeff’s good friends. The family home was in Bradford, Pennsylvania, hence our name.

Sandra Russak:  Sandra's aesthetic sensibility informs and guides us as she collaborates in the acquisition process. Her ability to balance personal styles, promotes cohesiveness in client collections, while encouraging passionate collecting. She and Jeff started Bradford House Antiques in 1989.

Jeff Russak: Jeff’s interest in both Antique and 20th Century Jewelry combined with an uncompromising attitude toward quality, and condition give the collection a unique breath of style and unusual wearability.  His expertise in signed pieces and hallmarks is especially useful in identifying and dating each piece. Also proficient in silver, glass and porcelain, he keeps our collection of Antique and Period decorative accessories one of the most interesting and varied in the country. Jeff is a member of the American Society of Jewelry Historians, The Jeweler’s Vigilance Committee, The New York Silver Society, and numerous other associations. He is in demand as a speaker on Antique Jewelry and guest appraiser for charity events.

Penny: Penny joined us in 2001. A devotee of antique jewelry and a collector of female portraiture, Penny lends her unique taste and expertise to the selection process of our jewelry.   Also, she manages client relations and takes many of the photographs you see on this site. Her positive demeanor and principled conduct helps to guide and inform our staff.

Carrie:  Carrie is our Database Management Specialist. She maintains our websites and inventory, keeping everything up to date. Her steadfast approach to the business is the heart and soul of our excellent customer service reputation. You will often hear her cheerful voice on the phone or see her with us at the Miami Beach International Antiques Show and the New York Pier shows.
 

Arthur:  Arthur is our Information Technology manager; he designed this and all our websites. He keeps us up to date technically and is responsible for the crystalline photography that makes your selection possible online. Many of you have often enjoyed the fruits of his imagination and expertise, unknowingly. Whether a printed out picture of an item of interest or more pictures sent by email, the ease with which we serve you is made possible by the technical innovations he designs just for the accommodation of our clients. A devout pessimist, he always manages to perform the impossible.
Lisa: Lisa is our newest staff member. She comes to us with many years of experience working with prominent Connecticut jewelers. Her sense of style and in depth knowledge of jewelry combined with a no nonsense approach to quality help her to give our customers the honest opinions they need to make informed choices.
