Im Matt Burkholz, and I'm a well known antique dealer, jewelry historian, architectural historian and former New York City guy transplanted now to fabulous Palm Springs, California and I'm the owner operator of Route 66 WEST, a very well known gallery and emporium selling top flight FINE Bakelite and Exceptional Vintage Designer Couture and Costume Jewelry. Having been trained as an art historian at Vassar College, and having operated shops in Soho NYC and The Berkshires area of Upstate NY, I am uniquely equipped as a dealer and afficionado of design, pop culture, history and fashion as they all collide in the world of Vintage Fashion and Jewelry! My approach is an art historical one combined with a sense of WHAT WOMEN REALLY LOVE TO WEAR as well as what collectors seek out as their holy grails in the world of V I N T A G E! Mid Century Modern to Retro Art Deco to 21st century COUTURE, I love it all and write blogs, articles and have another book about to be added to my Amazon Author Page.
