Story about Andrew Ford:
Since he was a little boy, Andrew has always had a passion for collecting and selling. His father was a respected, well-known appraiser and collector in the New England area, and Andrew has followed in his father’s footsteps here in the Sarasota area. He is the owner and operator of Ford Art and Antiques, Sarasota Estate Auction, and Sarasota Trading Company. The desire to continually learn more about each piece of furniture, art, or antique that he encounters is important to Andrew.
