You’ll see armoires and hall trees, buffets, rugs, chests and great accessory items. You’ll see things you haven’t seen since your childhood, things you’ve never seen and things you won’t know what to do with, but can’t live without. You’ll shop along side decorators and antique dealers, collectors and enthusiasts ...just like yourself.

Our passion is antiques. They enhance the romantic quality of a home with a grace and dignity only age bestows. We also carefully select some of the finest new home furnishings available, representing a wide variety of design styles, influences and tastes, but each have one common thread...quality. Our lines of new furniture, in time, will become the antiques we buy years from now. They are simply that good.

We encourage you to visit us. We are confident that you will find Classic Antiques a shopping experience unlike any other you will find.

Tips for Antique Shopping

1. Antiques are, by definition, at least 100 years old. Anything else is “vintage” or a “collectible”.

2. Move the piece away from walls and other items so you can get a good look at all sides, including the bottom. Study the piece under bright light or ask to take it outside if the weather is not inclement.

3. Examine the finish for natural signs of wear. Authentic pieces will have dirt in crevices or in places that are hard to clean, and wear around knobs and on drawers caused by friction. The absence of such wear may indicate that the piece is not old, or that it has been refinished. The latter is not necessarily bad if it’s been done well, but it will lower the piece’s value in most instances.

4. Negotiate. An all-in-good-fun, see-what-you-can-do-for-me attitude gets you a lot further with dealers than a negative, attacking stance.
