And lets not forget Country French and Canadiana. The store is known for having one of the largest selection of antique and vintage desks, bookcases and filers for business or home office. They have a great selection of upholstered chairs, settees, dining and bedroom furniture as well. Their hands on approach to their business means that the customer is not only assured of great service but that the merchandise reflects current trends . This is why it is one of the favorite places for many of the local Designers and Decorators to shop. Mark and Tracey work hard to search out those items in demand, and are happy to send photographs if they think they have what the client is looking for.
The wide variety of styles and woods, (mahogany,walnut, oak, pine, cherry and others) available to their customers, is second to none. And for those searching for that unique painted piece, Second Time Around Antiques has that too!
