The allure of beautiful things and exotic travel defined Lucia Lawrence's prolific career. An established interior designer with a showroom at the intersection of Beverly and Robertson Boulevards in Los Angeles, she began traveling the world to acquire antiques for her clients. Always with a designer’s "eye," she collected objects to decorate private home interiors.  Her treasures were sold at her studio and fine showrooms throughout the United States.  In 1990, the business, all of Lucia's decorative objects and her life moved to Seattle, Washington.  Her daughter, Marcia Van Liew, joined the company as Managing Director of the established brand Lawrence & Scott and developed its acclaimed manufacturing arm of lighting and home accessories.  Marcia inherited Lawrence & Scott when Lucia passed in 2008. 

A mutual friend introduced April Pride and Marcia in the summer of 2010 and it was only a few short months before they began a professional partnership. As an established interior designer and entrepreneur of the innovative kaarskoker, April also holds an M.A. in the History of Decorative Arts from Parsons. As the Creative Director of eastern goods, April curates the vast collection of decorative objects to regularly present a new catalog of objects that range from the practical to the desired and always beautiful to the beholder.

Three generations of women have worked to acquire, merchandise and market this extra-ordinary collection of one-of-a-kind antique and vintage goods from throughout Asia.  The eastern goods collection honors the legacy of the woman who started it all.
