I have an oil-on-canvass painting in an antique-looking gold frame that was missing a piece of the moulding at lower right corner (see the gaping hole on the frame in Pic1). So I visited Christopher House Antiques in Birmingham, Alabama, and spoke to Mr. Stephen Kao, its owner. He is such a nice gentleman, and very pleasant to talk to. He examined the frame and said he would be able to repair it. Basically he made a copy of the moulding pattern from another part of the frame and inserted it into the gaping hole, and touched it up as needed with gold paint. Now the frame looks fantastic (see Pic2), and I can’t even tell if it ever had a gaping hole ! I highly recommend Mr. Stephen Kao and his Christopher House Antiques for repairing antique pieces including frames and art pieces. He told me he also repairs antique furniture.

This place is messy and poorly kept. We like antique stores and visit them anywhere we go and this was not a good one.

This people are very rude, this bath tub they got are for show. It came missing parts we waited for over a week and the lady is very rude. They refused to give the money back. Got to go thyroid a lawyer

I stopped by October 5th, and found that nothing in the shop is priced. I found a lamp. So I asked for price. I was told by the lady working she didn’t know. I found a vase I really liked. Was told again “I don’t know the price”. I found a coffee table I liked. Again no price. So at that point I just left. Will not be back. My advise is to price what you want to sale and have someone that knows what’s going on. Or just close the doors to the public. And focus on repairs.
