restoration
Archer’s have been restoring furniture for over 50 years and has partners in the industry that can restore your piece back to the state the craftsman intended it to be. From replacing and matching a missing piece metal work, upholstery or caning this can all be done through Archer’s.
Appraisals
An appraisal is an informed opinion of value based on knowledge and experience. Steve Archer has been dealing with North American furnishings for over 30 years between his grandfather who began in the antique business in 1959 and has massed a Library on early North American furnishings.
Appraisals will be based on one of two ways:
-
Replacement costs (insurance)
-
Market Value (Auction or dealer purchase)
Appraisals can range from a verbal value to a full written description & value, both based on a hourly rate.
Consignment
We have been in the Antique business for over 30 years and built a reputation with serious clientele of collectors, designers and the film industry. They are certain we have the best restored North American furnishings and Artifacts in Western Canada.
Our furniture is not stacked or cluttered, it is displayed in a fashion that shows all its history and glory.
This is the process:
-

If we like what you have we will contact you by email or phone.
-
We agree on the selling price. Our commission is 50% or negotiable on higher priced items.
-
Moving a piece is arranged (at clients expense.)
