-- This month, cabinets, armoires and chests at Marco Polo's Treasures in Kensington are 25 percent off regular prices. The sale includes antiques and other pieces that owner Deb Sagerholm has found during her regular trips to Asia. With the slow economy, Sagerholm says she's having trouble making room for new inventory, so she's discounting about 75 pieces to help move them out. For example, a Victorian/island linen press that blends Indonesian materials with Dutch aesthetics was reduced from $2,550 to $1,915. Marco Polo's Treasures is at 4263 Howard Ave. Call 301-530-3420 or visit http://www.marcopolostreasures.com.
