“What happened to Tony’s Architectural?”

We acquired the very best of Tony’s Architectural treasures and have integrated them into our diverse display and inventory of fine European antiques. Please come explore our 16,000sq feet of show rooms to enjoy each piece of history for yourself.

"Where does the furniture come from?"

Our furniture and small ware come from various sources in Europe. Where over the last 30 years we have developed an extensive network of close friends and family that keep our buyers informed with the most up to date insider information, this allows us to provide the finest European antiques to our loyal customers and friends here at home.

"Has the furniture been refinished?"

We lovingly refinish these old world treasures as needed to provide the quality and beauty that our customers have come to expect. We have the capacity and skill to fully refinish each piece of furniture that passes through our doors, we also have the wisdom and restraint to provide each unique piece with exactly what it needs, restoring its original warmth and luster. Antique furniture is a living and functional piece of history, the fact that we continue to use and cherish these pieces is a unique concept that is incomprehensible to the “traditional collectors” mentality. The belief held by many “self proclaimed experts,” that any form of cleaning, waxing, or refinishing degrades the value of antique furniture is a grave misconception. All of our furniture is intended to be loved and lived in, as such we refinish our furniture to our customers needs and expectations.

"Do you reupholster?"

We reupholster furniture as needed for display purposes, and offer full re-upholstery services to our customers. Customers can choose their fabric and have us upholster their piece to fit their specific design theme.

“Can the furniture be altered? Say if I want to raise a table up?”

As strong believers in the idea that our furniture should be lived in and loved, we take every possible step to insure that our customers get exactly what they want and need. We alter many pieces of our furniture to meet specific customer needs. It is quite common to raise a table or lower a side buffet. Upon request we are happy to make any piece of furniture fit any customer's needs.
