Chests of drawers, secretaries, bookcases, sideboards, cabinets, and linen presses from Georgian through Federal periods.

The C&R Difference: Personal Service, Proven Results
When you bring an antique to C&R Team Solutions, you work directly with Richard and Catherine — the people who will actually handle your piece. There's no front desk filtering, no middle manager, no piece shipped off to an unknown facility. It stays here, with us, from consultation to completion.
We treat every object with the same care we'd give our own family heirlooms. That means honest assessments (even when the news is "this doesn't need any work"), clear communication throughout the process, and meticulous attention to every detail of the work itself. Our clients become repeat clients because we earn their trust — one piece at a time.
