History:

I am a 3rd generation antiques dealer and operate Dovetail Antiques with my wife, Susan. We have been in the antiques business over 35 years. We specialize in top quality antique wicker furniture and professional antique wicker furniture restoration services.

Services Offered:
  • Wicker Restoration

  • Wicker Repair

  • Wicker Refinishing

  • Antique Wicker Sales

I have been a wicker restoration specialist for over 35 years. I have extensive experience with both wood work and wicker work. I have written numerous articles about antique wicker furniture and the restoration of antique wicker furniture.

My approach is meticulous work, top quality materials, and expert repairs with attention to detail. I primarily work on wicker made of reed. I offer custom paint colors using the highest quality paints along with natural finish restoration on pieces that retain original finishes.

I would be happy to discuss your wicker restoration needs.
