Based in Los Angeles, Dos Gallos Studio is a labor of love, brought about by Gail and Charles Boswell. Using materials like walnut, mahogany, bronze, railroad spikes, rattan and driftwood, the studio finely crafts a wide array of timeless tables, armoires, chairs and bedroom sets. Additionally, their Dos Gallos gallery holds a collection of one-of-a-kind, antique, vintage and folk art and design pieces from around the world, with a special emphasis on Guatalman works.
Back in the early 1990s, while on an afternoon stroll with Charles, Gail saw an antique table from Guatemala in a shop window. Altman, who ran her own antiques store at the time, had an immediate appreciation for the piece’s craftsmanship and became obsessed with Guatemalan art and furniture.
The duo flew to the Central American country, rented a pickup truck and began to search for authentic objects. Charles relates, "We would go to small villages in the countryside and ask them if they have anything they want to sell." Over the course of their journey, they amassed a trove of rare pottery, rustic wooden furniture, metal chocolate pots and other uncommon goods.
The Boswells shipped the treasures home, and opened Dos Gallos in 1993. The gallery flourished, as notable interior designers and architects like Martyn Lawrence-Bullard and Marc Appleton often purchased rare artwork and furniture to adorn the spaces they designed. As Dos Gallos’ popularity grew, the partners introduced Japanese antiques into the collection.
Clients began to request custom-built furniture to accompany the well-aged works they picked up at the gallery. So, the Boswells started producing chairs, benches and many other types of furniture and collectibles in modern or rustic silhouettes, often inspired by their favorite Latin American and European pieces. Their warehouse is also their office, and a showroom displays the eclectic array of unusual objects they've collected alongside their own creations.

Vintage Country French Walnut Trestle Dining Table by Quinta Perpignan, France
Located in Highwood, IL
Vintage Country French Walnut Trestle Dining Room Table, manufactured by one of France’s premier furniture makers, Quinta. Located in the City of Perpignan, adjacent to the Mediterranean on the southwest coast, Quinta had established itself as one of the finest furniture fabricators for decades, before closing their door in 2012. All the Quinta Dining Tables were constructed of dry-aged French hardwoods that sat outside for a minimum of 9-years, before being chosen for their country French style Dining Tables. When you look under a Quinta French Dining Tabletop, you begin to understand the quality level from all the hand-spoke shaving that went into the table, to the book-matched grains of the aged Walnut. The finish is over 20-years old and looks like it was done yesterday and no one to this day has ever unlocked the secret to their proprietary finish. We have been importing and building French style Dining Tables for over 30-years, and we have never seen anyone, including our own workshop, who was the equal of a genuine Quinta Table...
