Larry is so helpful and very friendly! I recently bought a set of chairs from him and he was willing to negotiate the price as well as layaway if I wanted. He is extremely knowledgeable about antiques and can answer most questions. On top of it, he also repaired another antique chair I had that was badly damaged for a GREAT price! I will continue doing business here...as long as he doesn’t retire too soon 😊

This guy knows his antiques. I tell him what I need and he always comes up with some good options. He has functional, well-made furniture (particularly suitable for children's bedrooms) and beautiful, heirloom-quality pieces made from more exotic woods with interesting grain patterns. This furniture is far better quality than what we could buy new at a furniture store. Everyday, I use a beautifully refinished mahogany chest purchased from him several years ago. He also has an excellent inventory of glassware that is of interest to baby boomers who are nostalgic for items they grew up with. I am now using a neat pitcher and other glassware that I've recently purchased from Larry's Antiques. Integrating these unique pieces in with our every day dishes adds even more "spice" to our meals---often drawing praise from visitors. It's worthwhile spending a little time poking around in this antique shop to stimulate your creative juices while asking yourself, "how would this item add a touch of color or change up the pace of my everyday life"?
