custom cabinetry and built-ins




Antick now offers period-inspired cabinetry designed and built by master-craftsman David Wilson. Our built-ins are crafted and finished by hand with a furniture maker's attention to detail and durability, and are designed to complement the style and period of your home. Enhance your home with cabinets, mantles, wainscoting, paneled walls, book shelves window seats or corner cabinets, and choose from the style that best fits the character of your home-high-style, country, rustic.

Beds!!







Winter is coming on, so we here at Antick are preparing ourselves for hibernation, and making the strongest most comfortable beds imaginable. We'll make them out of the wood of your choice--walnut, cherry, tiger maple. Or pick any of the many beautiful shades of milk paint available. We also make tall post beds and pencil post beds. All beds are made with our usual delight in the congruence of beauty and functionality, and are made to last for generations.

Glassware and Pottery at Antick




The manufacture of glass was one of the earliest American trades. Techniques of the 17th century are still practiced in Williamsburg, Virginia by master glassblowers John Pierce and David Byerly. Their beautiful, hand-blown pieces reflect their combined 40+ years of experience in working with glass, as well as their knowledge of old glassware.



Julia Smith has been making historical reproduction pottery since 1983. Acclaimed by working archaeologists, museum professionals, and living historians alike, her work is displayed, offered for sale, and used at The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Plimoth Plantation; Jamestown; Colonial Deerfield; Saint Marie's City; and many other sites, as well as in the homes and personal kits of reenactors across the country.


Extensive research precedes the creation of every piece and all are based on specific originals; dimensions, cross-section, clay body, construction, and finishing treatments all follow those of the prototype. The single exception to this policy is in the area of glazes; all glazes used are lead-free, allowing the pieces to be used for food storage and service. Great care has been taken, however, to achieve as close a match as possible to the effect of the original glaze.
