Antiques By Design ab-interior

Over ten years ago we started our Antique Business in Littleton, Massachusetts. Judy had been raised in a family tradition of fine antiques and had a flair for decorating with them. So we decided to take that unique approach to the antique business. We would find and buy antique furniture that was very decorative, of good quality, well made and carefully restore it to its original splendor; and offer it at a very fair price. We have found that helping our customers decorate their homes with wonderfully designed furniture with fine old wood grains and patina was a great pleasure for both us and them. It not only looks a lot more elegant than new furniture and often the costs are less -- it’s also an investment!

To complement our fine antique furniture we provide the accessories to finish off the décor. We offer lovely early mirrors, ab-restorationlighting, clocks, custom matted and framed antique prints, framed and restored oil paintings, fine porcelain, glass, silver, brass, and toleware.

We work with both retail and decorators. We have an extensive customer base from New England and 30 states, and we are thankful to have many repeat customers. We use Ukay shipping out of New Jersey to ship our furniture because of their special handling of antique furniture and their fair pricing.

We offer American, English and Continental 18th, 19th century furniture, and 20th century custom furniture (Kittinger, Beacon Hill, Baker, Margolis, Charak, etc.) , both formal and country. (Some of the finest furniture ever made in ab-upholsteryAmerica was crafted in the 1920s.) We have our own restoration shop and everything is restored by hand to carefully preserve the wood grain and patina and restore structural integrity, as best we can. We try to accurately identify the origin and age of our furniture and accessories. We do not sell new reproductions.

We have our own upholstery shop onsite which allows us to add any desired decorator fabric to our dining chairs and upholstered pieces. All lamps and chandeliers are rewired and custom fitted with new shades. Our art is restored and reframed as needed.

Our 3400 square-foot shop is located in a unique restored Mill building in Littleton, Massachusetts, about 20 miles west of Boston and is just seconds off exit 31 on US Route 495, a major limited access highway. Please feel free to call us to discuss any questions you may have. We enjoy working directly with our customers and Judy always has many great design ideas.
