Before & After Projects

Do the minimum of restoration of what's required to an antique. At the same time, do what is required using the proper and correct method to enhance the beauty and value of the piece in question. This is Antique Artistry's specialty.

Our Photo Show of the Before & After Projects will give you a greater in depth look at the stages these pieces went through to become the spectacular piece they were meant to be. Click on the link below to view, which is accompanied with our musical theme "Carry Me Back to Yesterdays." You won't be disappointed.
