Anna Leduc
Anna’s multifaceted career started in Paris, France at the stores of Hermes and Louis Vuitton, where she developed a taste for unique artistic creations. After earning an MBA from Paris Graduate School of Management, Anna was offered a position of Export / Import Manager at a renowned French music publishing company based in Paris, one of the oldest sheet music publishers in Europe. Later she was appointed General Manager of its American subsidiary and served in this position for more than five years until the sale of the company.
Anna continued her interest in music and began working with Boston Symphony Orchestra within the Artistic Administration Department. Her professional journey then shifted into the legal field. Anna earned a certificate in paralegal studies and worked as a paralegal at a legal firm specializing in family law.
During this time Anna continued taking art classes and exploring her interest in antiques. Early in 2021, still in midst of the pandemic, Anna realized that the wind of change had come and now was the time to follow an entrepreneurial path.
Mark Zepf
Mark was born and, up until very recently, lived in Cambridge, MA. Going West was not in his plans, but he met Anna and they fell in love. Then the pandemic started and the rest is history. Mark is a big fan of American Revolution and an exceptional guide of Revolutionary sites. He likes to poke fun at himself that his interest in history is a homage to his birthplace.
When he graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, he wanted to become a social studies teacher. Instead, he worked as Operations Manager in tech and then in the environmental industry. He also managed a retail store and more recently a bar.
Mark has an inner curiosity for the world around him. He is an outgoing person, who easily builds connections. He has a special admiration for the work of artisans and artists. He fully embraced his partner’s idea to start an art and antiques business.
