A sampling...
Most of Jeffrey Greene's furniture is
made to order so the number of available pieces is limited. However, we
always maintain a representative sampling of his work on display at the Ball
& Claw. Please call for pricing and shipping information. With
the exception of large case pieces, most items can be crated and shipped by
FedEx 3rd day delivery. If
you would like an email notification when new pieces are complete, please let us
