This exceptional mahogany drop-leaf table is a testament to mid-century New England craftsmanship. Bench-made by the renowned cabinetmaker Frederick A. Adams of Whately, Massachusetts, this piece exemplifies the Colonial Revival movement with its Hepplewhite-inspired tapered legs and traditional rule-joint construction.
Unlike mass-produced furniture of its era, Adams’ work utilized hand-fitted wooden hinges for the gate-leg mechanism, ensuring a level of structural integrity and smoothness that remains functional decades later. Whether used as a slim console or expanded to its full 68-inch dining width, this table offers the perfect balance of historical elegance and versatile utility.
Dimensions (Closed): 45" × 24" (68" Open) × 31" H
Perfect for the collector who appreciates the honest wear of a well-loved antique. The table is structurally sound with minor surface gouges and finish blushing that tell its history.
We provide a deep-cleaning service using wood revivers and a hand-buffed carnauba wax finish. This process hides minor abrasions and restores the deep, glowing luster of the mahogany grain without removing the original patina.
Timeline: 1 week
We will carefully strip and refinish the top surface and both leaves, color-matching the new finish to the original aged mahogany of the legs and apron, and effectively removing the noticeable gouges and watermarks while maintaining the piece's vintage soul.
Timeline: 3-4 weeks

A substantial early 19th-century American Sheraton drop-leaf dining table, likely crafted from solid cherry. This piece features a classic rectangular top with deep drop leaves supported by swing-out legs (gate-leg action). It stands on four turned legs featuring distinct Sheraton ring-turnings, terminating in original brass cup casters.
When closed, it functions as a handsome console or deep server. When fully opened, it extends to over 5 feet, comfortably seating 4–6 people. This is a "project piece" with excellent bones; it retains its period charm but shows significant signs of life, including surface marring and a splintered section on the rule joint (the curved hinge edge).
Dimensions: 48" X 22" (62" open), 28" H
Purchase the table exactly as found. The joinery on the legs is sound, and the brass casters are intact. The top has heavy finish wear, scratches, and a damaged section of wood near the hinge that will need attention if you plan to use it with fine linens. Ideal for the DIY enthusiast.
We will perform a museum-quality cleaning to remove decades of grime and old wax without stripping the original patina. We will gently sand the splintered hinge area to ensure it is smooth to the touch (though the visual defect will remain) and apply a hard-wax oil topcoat to nourish the thirsty wood and arrest further deterioration.
Timeline: 1-2 weeks
This option focuses on making the table beautiful and functional without a "factory new" look. We will chemically strip the flat surfaces to remove the failing varnish and deep stains.

The entire piece will be refinished in a durable, satin lacquer that resists water rings, bringing the rich cherry color back to life.
Timeline: 3-4 weeks
A full restoration for the serious collector. We will excise the damaged wood at the rule joint and graft in a matching piece of antique cherry to make the break virtually invisible. The table surface will be completely hand-stripped and sanded, the brass casters will be removed and hand-polished, and we'll end with a traditional shellac or tung oil finish, hand-rubbed to a high-gloss piano finish or a soft satin sheen (buyer’s choice).
Timeline: 6-8 weeks
This sofa bridges the gap between the heavy American Empire style and the lighter Victorian Rococo revival.

The 76-inch frame features serpentine curves, floral carved crests, and original rolling casters.
Dimensions: 76" Wide × 34" Tall × 33" Deep

This is a fantastic storage piece for a mudroom, pantry, or industrial-style living space.
Dimensions: 31" W x 13" D x 46" H

A perfect option for the DIY restorer or history buff who wants to preserve every inch of the original grime and glory.
We will perform a non-invasive conservation clean. We will gently vacuum and scrub the interior and exterior with restorative wood soap to remove decades of dirt and mildew without stripping the historic stenciling. We will remove the flimsy particle board shelf (leaving the space open) and apply a coat of clear protective paste wax to nourish the dry wood and seal the patina.
Timeline: 3-5 days

We will turn this into a functional, clean piece of furniture while maintaining its rustic character. The process begins with a full structural assessment to re-secure any loose cladding or trim, tighten wobbly joinery, and ensure the carcass is rigid. We will then lightly sand the exterior to smooth out splinters and reduce paint splatter while carefully preserving the distressed look. The flimsy particle board will be replaced with a new solid pine shelf, stained to match the aged interior. Finally, we will treat the original hardware for rust to ensure smooth operation and apply a matte hard-wax oil finish for a durable, smooth touch.
Timeline: 1-2 weeks

We will install two adjustable solid wood shelves to maximize storage utility. To finish the look, the hardware can be swapped for period-appropriate cast iron reproduction latches or knobs if desired.

Timeline: 3-4 weeks
This is a museum-quality restoration designed to last another 100 years. We strip the seat to its bare frame, replacing the failed 19th-century webbing. In keeping with the piece’s origins, we'll use no modern foam, instead we'll sanitize the original horsehair and supplement it with fresh long-fiber cotton batting to recreate the firm, high-crowned profile of the original seat. The wood can be either hand-stripped and finished with genuine Shellac, then rubbed to a soft, historic luster, or simply cleaned & preserved as previously described.
To maintain the Victorian Barber aesthetic, for the seat we recommend a deep Oxblood or Forest Green Top-Grain Leather. This was the standard for high-end shops of the 1890s and provides the most authentic tactile experience.
Timeline: 8-10 Weeks

We have uncovered a true piece of European design history. This 9-piece dining suite was crafted by Friedrich Otto Schmidt, the prestigious Viennese firm responsible for executing designs by modern masters like Adolf Loos and Josef Hoffmann.
The set features a substantial draw-leaf oak table with sweeping, architectural legs that opens to an impressive 138", and eight matching club-style dining chairs. The original webbing on the chairs bears the F.O. Schmidt stamp from their workshop. This is not just furniture; it is a direct link to the golden age of the Viennese Coffee House aesthetic.
Ideally suited for designers or collectors managing their own restoration, this option includes the suite in its current raw state. While the table and chair frames are generally solid, the set requires significant work, including re-gluing the detached table stretcher, extensive veneer repairs on the apron, and total upholstery replacement for all eight chairs.
This commission restores functionality and beauty while maintaining the antique's "lived-in" character. We will perform full structural repairs on the table, fill and blend veneer chips, and sympathetically refinish the wood to retain its age-earned patina.

We are offering this rare, complete dining suite from the legendary Cushman Manufacturing Company. Known for their "Colonial Creations" line, Cushman furniture is celebrated for its bulletproof construction, rounded "stone-worn" edges, and distinct wedged joinery. This isn't just furniture; it's Vermont history.
The Set Includes:
Trestle Table: 60" solid maple top, extends to a massive 90" with leaves. Features the iconic keyed-tenon trestle base.
6 Chairs: 2 Captain's chairs and 4 Mates, featuring the desirable Cushman "Paddle Arms."
Hutch: Two-piece solid maple construction with dovetail drawers and original hardware.
The complete set exactly as found. The structure is rock solid, but the finish shows its age—particularly on the table top, which has significant wear. Ideal for the DIY enthusiast or the purist who loves heavy patina.
What you get: We perform a deep conservation clean on all pieces to remove decades of grime without stripping the finish. We treat the wood with a hydrating hard wax oil to blend scratches and nourish the dry timber. The chairs are tightened and leveled. The table top will still show character marks, but will be clean and smooth to the touch.
Timeline: 1 week.
What you get: We fully strip, sand, and refinish only the table top—the surface that sees the most use. We apply a durable, water-resistant satin finish that matches the color of the base and chairs. The rest of the set receives our "Revival" cleaning treatment. This gives you a fresh, worry-free eating surface while keeping the antique charm of the chairs and hutch.
Timeline: 2–3 weeks.
What you get: A complete restoration of every square inch. We strip the table, all 6 chairs, and the hutch down to raw maple. We remove gouges, water rings, and imperfections. You choose the stain color (restore the original Russet or go for a modern clear Natural Maple) and sheen. Finished with a high-grade, professional lacquer topcoat.
Timeline: 6–8 weeks.
This piece is the definition of "Modern Farmhouse" meets "Industrial Loft." The wood features a rough-sawn texture, honest wear, and a deep amber patina that can only be achieved through decades of use and exposure. It is the perfect size for a substantial 4-to-6 person dining table or game table.
This is an antique American primitive trestle table, likely dating to the mid-to-late 19th century (c. 1860-1890). In its original life, the top would have tipped up revealing a seat/storage box built into the base. At some point in its history—likely long ago given the wear—the box was removed, and the top was permanently fixed to the trestle base to function purely as a table.
This piece features "Harvest Table" proportions. It is slender enough to serve as a hallway console or sofa table, yet substantial enough to function as an intimate dining table for tight spaces.
Dimensions: 82" wide, 28" deep
Exactly as found with all its barn dust and history. The top sits on the base but may require securing for daily use. This is perfect for the DIY enthusiast, the collector who wants untouched patina, or a designer looking for a specific project.
We will perform a deep cleaning to remove surface dirt while preserving the look of the wood. We will gently smooth the base with fine steel wool and mineral spirits, then apply a premium pigmented paste wax. The Result will be a nourished, glowing surface that highlights the honey tones of the pine without removing the scars of history.
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
In addition to deep cleaning in, we will structurally secure the top to the base using discreet buttons or blocks to allow for seasonal wood movement, ensuring it is rock-solid for daily use. We will lightly sand the top to remove splinters (while keeping the character) and apply 3 coats of a matte, water-based poly or polymerized tung oil. The Result will be a fully functional, splinter-free dining surface that is resistant to water rings and spills, ready for family meals.
Timeline: 3-4 weeks
We found this heavy-gauge steel cabinet manufactured by the W.D. Allison Company, a staple of high-end medical offices in the mid-20th century. It features the highly sought-after original black Vitrolite (structural glass) top with a rare gallery rail—perfect for keeping bottles or tools in place.
While the exterior wears a later coat of white paint, opening the doors reveals the original "Fern Green" factory enamel, a beautiful testament to its history. Whether you need a bombproof bathroom vanity, a tattoo station, or a distinctive bar cart, this piece offers incredible industrial bones.
Dimensions: 29" wide, 19" deep, 35" high (with rail)
For the DIY restorer or the lover of raw, imperfect industrialism. You purchase the piece exactly as found. The current white paint is brush-applied and has texture/imperfections. One of the original Bakelite handles is broken and taped. The structural glass top is intact and ready to be polished.
We will sand smooth the existing finish and professionally spray a durable satin enamel topcoat, remove the broken vintage handles and install a new set of three high-quality reproduction industrial pulls, and the Vitrolite glass will be deep-cleaned and polished to a high shine.
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
The piece will be completely stripped to the bare steel and powder coated in the color of your choice and we source authentic period-correct vintage replacement handles in addition to fully polishing the glass top and refinishing the gallery rail.
Timeline: 6-8 weeks
This is a quintessential piece of mid-19th-century American cabinetry. Dating to the Sheraton period (c. 1840–1860), this drop-leaf table features the iconic "ring-and-vase" turned legs terminating in delicate ball feet.
Constructed from solid cherry (or possibly red birch stained to match), it features a quality "rule joint" hinge—a hallmark of fine woodworking that creates a seamless, dust-proof connection between the leaves and the center top. The swing-leg (gate-leg) mechanism is sturdy and smooth.
It is the ultimate space-saver. Closed, it is a slim console table perfect for a hallway or behind a sofa. Open, it comfortably seats 4–6 people for dinner.
Dimensions: 42" x 58" open, 18.5" closed
You take it exactly as it sits in the shop today. The structure is solid, but the finish is dry, tired, and shows significant wear and oxidation on the legs. Perfect for the weekend warrior who wants to strip and refinish it themselves.
We keep the history but remove the grime. We will perform a deep chemical clean to remove decades of dirt and old wax, apply a pigmented restorative oil to hide minor scratches and rehydrate the dry timber, and finish with a buffed paste wax.
Timeline: 2-3 days
The legs stay vintage; the top gets a fresh start. We will fully strip, sand, and refinish just the tabletop and leaves to remove water rings and fading, creating a durable, fresh surface for dining. The legs will be cleaned and waxed to contrast beautifully with the new top. You'll be left with a practical, water-resistant dining surface with authentic antique base charm.
Timeline: 1-2 weeks
We bring it back to the day it left the workshop in 1850. We will disassemble the gate legs to ensure perfect stability, strip the entire piece to raw wood, steam out dents, and apply a premium hand-rubbed finish (Tung Oil or Shellac) to highlight the deep chatoyance of the cherry wood. A showroom-quality antique ready for another 100 years of use.
Timeline: 3-5 weeks
