The store's restoration prowess extends beyond simple repairs, as evidenced by one customer's experience: "Restored a dining chair to match exactly to the other antique chairs. The restored chair looked same age as others. Restored a table- pedestal base was split with one leg completely detached and the top sloped from my grandfather leaning against it for 50 years. Cleaned up the finish. Looks better than when I got it from my grandparents."

The most historic antique shop in all of Hampton Roads. Been in operation for nearly 60 years. Restoration and antique craftsmanship experts and masters of the patina universe. Take your antique furniture issues to Irene and Jim and you will be a satisfied customer.

Restored a dining chair to match exactly to the other antique chairs. The restored chair looked same age as others. Restored a table- pedestal base was split with one leg completely detached and the top sloped from my grandfather leaning against it for 50 years. Cleaned up the finish. Looks better than when I got it from my grandparents. Couldn't be happier that I didn't have to give up the pieces that bring me such great memories. Not to mention how hard it is to get furniture during covid.

Excellent Craftsman. Owned and run by two of the best people you could ever hope to meet, Jim and Irene. Can refurbish and make like new anything that you bring in.

Parking is the least of my worries. Irene and staff are highly talented, customer oriented, professionals who "restored" the finish on my vintage clock by carefully working it back to the original patina. I would walk a mile to get there!!

They really know their stuff. Took some broken fiddleback chairs in for repair and now I can't even tell where they were broken!

Drive to your store today and did not find where I can park my car. No parking place at all. I need park in Parking garage? I am not sure you have what I need, and pay ahead.... No. Need have small parking if you want to have good business.
