“Integrating
Past Environments into Yours” . . . far more than just words to us at Architectural Antiques.
Creating environments that fit your life
is a job we take seriously!
It has always taken extra effort to step beyond the sterile building, the mundane design. Those
who dared to make that step into the past we not only remember, but admire and even collect their work. That same persona an antique architectural element provides is
unmistakable in any project. We help to create the ambience, nostalgia and elegance that make a lasting
difference in your environment. Examples of our antique architectural elements, their integration and the design
work they inspire can be found nationally; in residential homes, businesses, restaurants and even in film.
Architectural Antiques has always taken that extra step and has the goal of helping our customers integrate
their favorite items into their living environment. From providing creative ideas to orchestrating the installation
process, our knowledgeable staff understands each step in creating a beautiful environment.
