My name is Robert Morris and my wife Mercy and I are the owners of Antique Restoration and Sales. We restore specific antiques that are normally our own and then sell them online. We originally would take on many of my customer’s restorations, but we are the point of the business now that we can take fewer customer restorations and focus on our restorations, which we enjoy much more. But there are exceptions like what we’re working on right now.

A customer recently contacted us with her childhood dresser in need of restoration. This one moved us so much, we just had to take on the restoration. It’s the kind of piece we love to restore, and the emotional aspect made it that more important for us to do. We tracked down a picture of her piece in an 1800’s magazine and we restored her dresser exactly the way it looked.
