A world steeped in rich heritage from our ancestors…

An avid collector of antiquities from America ’s heritage, Idol houses collections of birch bark canoes, snow shoes, Hudson bay memorabilia, fishing creels, trinkets from the settling of the West, Indian artifacts and photographs and art of days gone by.  Dick Idol translates his spirit and passion for these timeless treasures through the Dick Idol ™ collections.

Here are some of the pieces inspired by Dick's collection of antiques...

Stagecoach Trunk

This fabulous heirloom, used extensively from 1770 through 1820 was made for stagecoach travel.  Travelers settling the west found comfort on their journeys by using these innovative leather trunks as both luggage and seat cushions.  Today it serves as a cocktail table.

Explorer's Artifacts Table

Lewis and Clark would have loved to had one of these signature tables to display the trinkets and treasure collected during their journeys across the northwest passage.

Mission Valley Display Curio

Based on many old store displays, this curio has extra large shelves for displaying art or collectibles.  It's doors slide open to the side for space saving. 

Raquette Lake Canoe Bookcase

The original version of this replica was in birch bark and twig mosaic.  Ours is wrapped in leather and contains an original painting framed in a replica twig mosaic frame.

 

Bigfork Chair

Based on one of Dick's favorite chairs, this updated version is larger in scale and comes in both upholstery and leather options. 

 

Journeyman's Chair

An heirloom straight out of American history.  One of the first portable chairs, this innovative design folded up to provided traveling gentlemen with a convenient way to bring along their most comfortable chair as they journeyed to catch up on the latest news with their distant neighbors.

 

 

Old Timer's Creel Table

In the golden era of fly fishing the creel served a necessary function of holding the catch of the day.  Today, vintage creels remind us of our romantic sporting past and those colorful and individual trout hunters who used them.  The creel baskets used in this table are better used for string trappings from your everyday life rather than your catch of the day.
