Where does the furniture come from?

For over 19 years we have traveled to England where we have developed a great network of antique dealers and furniture craftsmen who are passionate about country furniture. We work together to provide a diverse collection of pieces from England, France, Ireland, Scotland and throughout Europe. We hand select each piece and have it carefully packed and shipped directly to our shop in Cambridge, MA.

Is everything an antique?

We offer Antique, Reclaimed and Custom Furniture:

Antique: The majority of our collection is country antiques. Most have been passed down for over 100 years and reflect the wear, patina and repairs associated with being real working furniture.

Reclaimed: We import furniture made in England crafted from reclaimed wood or built by marrying unusual architectural and industrial finds. We also have furniture made here in the US from reclaimed pine and oak barn boards.

Custom: Our custom furniture ranges from tables made from cherry and maple to furniture made to your specifications using reclaimed pine and oak barn boards.

What is the finish and how do you care for it?

Our antique and imported reclaimed furniture has a hand rubbed paste wax finish. We recommend waxing when your furniture is looking dry or if you want give it a bit of sheen. We use and sell Briwax paste wax. To maintain the finish only use paste wax, do not apply household cleaners or spray polishes. For routine dusting just use a dry soft cloth.

Our custom furniture has either a lacquer or polyurethane finish. Both simply require a light dusting or can be refreshed by using a cream polish.
