In the brick and mortar world, we are the warehouse/headquarters of Lawrence and Scott, a supplier of distinctive lighting, accessories and art for fine interiors. Proud to be represented in leading design center showrooms of thirteen North American cities, e have a reputation for importing quality handcrafted home furnishings from Asia including antiques and decorative art,says Marcia Van Liew, who operates the business founded by her mother and step-father more than forty years ago.

Good design is our specialty. Good craft results from our longtime partnerships with artisans in China and Japan. These partnerships defy the test of time. We are a family-owned firm now in its second generation, and our family works with families overseas who have become friends over decades of creating together.

After our long history in business, there are lots of odds and ends in our 11,000 square foot warehouseike a family attic, but more so. Each piece has its own life history and YOU can become the owner of one of these pieces at a generously discounted price here in our Pearl Dragon Warehouse.

In addition to our imports, distinctive lamps and shades are made in our Seattle workrooms by American craftspeople! When you buy a lamp, you want a work of art and a functional furnishing with a UL label. Our craftspeople create the perfect combinations yet we often find ourselves with unused bases and parts. Where do you search in our storefront if you are a lamp maker? Check out the category wee called Lamp Maker's Kits.

As for our eclectic inventory, youl find decorative art (both antique and more recently crafted) and leather specialties as well as hand painted screens and scrolls. Then there are all the h-ha discoveriesof my bygone buying trips.

Pearl Dragon Warehouse is your permanent online resource offering a mix of items that will vary widely and, once gone, cannot be replaced. The consistency in our varied assortment is that we offer only pieces of high artistic value and craftsmanship. Apart from typical antiquarians, we prize beauty over age though we happily share our authentication of an antique piece.

So be sure to put Pearl Dragon on your list of Favorite Searches and come back often. You just never know what kinds of treasures youl find here!
