Important Message To Our Patrons: We have suspended all antique furniture and accessory sales effective immediately. Most of the inventory appearing on our website has been sold and we are unsure at this juncture what the future holds for us as a true antique furniture dealer. Both our physical and virtual store sales have been trending downward since the mid 2000's and we are frankly now at a level that no longer makes it economically viable to continue to market our products in this fashion. We are not alone in this respect as many other antique dealers have met similar fates. The marketplace has been flooded with old furniture pieces that are not antiques and new furniture which has been finished to look old at prices that are very often lower than what we must pay to buy genuine antiques and then of course there is the expense of refurbishing or restoring them. At the same time, personal tastes appear to be changing. The investment aspect of a true antique through appreciation rather than the typical depreciaition suffered by other furniture, no longer seems to be a prime factor in the buying motives of the majority of furniture buyers. The old adage that wealth is built by accumulating things that appreciate not depreciate is one that has perhaps been replaced by thinking that focuses on a much shorter perspective. Our hearts are simply not into the prospect of changing our product mix to meet this new trend in furniture demand and while we are sure that a market for true antique furniture continues to exist albeit at a reduced level, our locale and the internet are no longer the vehicles they once were for success. We are disappointed to say the least because we really enjoyed the hunt for great antique pieces, the restoration work and the beauty of the final product we sold. We took pride in that endeavor and experienced great satisfaction through the many wonderful customers who supported us throughout the years. We cannot thank them enough.
