The Kimball & Bean Story

Beau and Nancy Kimball are frequently cited architectural and garden antiques experts who have spent most of the last twenty years traveling around the world consulting, buying and selling for commercial and private customers alike.

The first ten years of Beau's career was spent working his way up to managing partner of the largest architectural salvage company in the U.S.. Nancy got her start at Polo Ralph Lauren corporate and moved on to director of consignments at a major midwestern art and antique auction house 

In 2000, Beau and Nancy packed in their city lives, decided to follow their dreams and opened Kimball & Bean Architectural and Garden Antiques on an historic 1830's farmstead fifty miles northwest of Chicago.

In the last seven years, Kimball & Bean has become a fun and fascinating place full of architectural ornament and elegant garden elements; imaginatively displayed both inside their historic 19th Century barn and outdoors in European-style gardens.
