Chester County Pennsylvania is one of the oldest counties in the USA. It boasts home to some of the earliest furniture makers on record. We are fortunate to be located in the heart of Chester County Pa and often come across many old treasures that have been stashed a way in the old historical farmhouses and estates for the past several hundred years. The internet now opens up this market to everyone. Buying antiques is now at their fingertips while relaxing in the comfort of their home. In the past, these wonderful antiques & collectables were only accessible to those that visited our area and browsed the many antique stores while on vacation. That has all changed!
