Dear Susan and All, Maria Niforos - Fine Antique Lace, Linens and Textiles has been in business for quite a few years. She is highly regarded as a dealer. Her merchandise is of high quality, and she has quite a European following. As a collector, I recall her postings from London, when she was based there. In recent years, her offerings have been on the American Ebay under the name "mithya", and originate in New York State. She participates in regularly-scheduled very large antiques shows. You can learn more by conducting a internet search of her name. In 2010, Laurie Waters of Lace News (member of _Lace@Arachne_ (mailto:Lace@Arachne) ) conducted a long interview with Maria Niforos, which was most informative.
