Specialists in American folk art of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries,
Martin and Kitty Jacobs (top left) of the Splendid Peasant maintain an exceptional and exciting
inventory. Our taste tends toward bold, graphic and striking sculptural pieces including
weathervanes, game boards, carnival art, architecturals and decoys. After 18 years
we have closed our galleries in South Egremont (top center) which many of you fondly remember
and moved to a former factory building on Bristol Harbor in Bristol, Rhode Island (bottom left).
In Bristol, we have items for sale in our loft (bottom center). We split our time (and inventory) between Bristol
and Greenwich Village, New York (top right). We welcome you to visit us in Bristol or in New York.
Should there be a piece you particularly want to see in person, let us know and we'll make sure
it's where you want to visit. Too far to visit, give us a call and we can answer questions,
provide detailed condition assessments and, of course, additional images.

The future has an exciting project in store for us. We have purchased an extraordinary piece of land
in the Berkshires (bottom right). We are designing and this spring will build a contemporary house
and gallery and see collectors by chance or appointment. We can't wait to return. We'll update our progress
on these pages frequently.
