Directly imported Chinese furniture arrives in
Graton from ZhuHai, Guangdong, PRC. The
Trading Company concentrates on fine quality
antiques and vintage – traditional pieces that are
suitable for the American lifestyle.
The Trading Company's art collection is an
evolving mixture of Asian and local Sonoma
County artists. Gary has commented, "There will
always be a representation of modern pieces that
are comfortably compatible with the more
traditional." Both Gary and Lou have fostered
relationships with local artists in an effort to
recruit them and their art for the Trading
Company. Visit frequently to be sure and see it
all.

The objective of Lou and Gary has been to
create an environment that is comfortable and
interesting like a well-appointed home, thus
inspiring their visitors to recreate that
environment with pieces large or small, Asian or
Californian, in their homes. Since arriving in
Sonoma County, both men have developed a
strong interest in local art and culture, which
they’ve tapped into to create their home in
Bodega Bay. Through a pleasing combination of
their traditional, contemporary and Asian
furniture, and classic California architecture and
art, they have crafted a sophisticated, casual
and adventurous look for their home.
