Our Story
Welcome to 43 Chesapeake Court
43 Chesapeake Court was born from a love of antiques—and a belief that the past still has a place at today’s table and in our homes.
Founded by Deborah Hartsook, a lifelong collector with a passion for timeless detail, the shop offers a curated selection of French and English silver, porcelain, and decorative tableware. Along with a selection of Decorative Arts and equestrian items. Every item is hand-selected not just for its beauty and craftsmanship but for its ability to fit into every day living.
From silver napkin rings and monogrammed linens to heirloom teapots and serving pieces, these are objects made to be used, loved, and passed down. They carry with them the patina of time and the elegance of history.
Whether you’re setting the table for a dinner party or finding a gift with meaning, you’ll find that each piece at 43 Chesapeake Court tells a story—and helps you create your own.
Thank you for visiting. I’m so glad you’re here.
—with warm regards,
Deborah
Founder & Curator
