David Rago
David Rago began dealing in American decorative ceramics at the age of sixteen, at a flea market in his home state of New Jersey. Today, he oversees the auction house that bears his name, sells privately in the field of 20th C. Design and publishes two quarterly magazines about 20th century decorative arts and furnishings. He is an author who lectures nationally and an expert appraiser for the hit PBS series, Antiques Roadshow, where he specializes in decorative ceramics and porcelain.
“I’ve always enjoyed getting my hands dirty; it felt natural,” explains Susan Perlstein Tavares, third-generation owner of Trenton, N.J.-based plumbing contracting firm Frank Perlstein & Son.
