The Shakers are most notable, and identified today, for their enduring furniture styles. There is a harmony in the parts of a Shaker object and a subtle beauty that relies on proportion. The Shakers believed that mastery of a craft was a partnership with tools, materials, and processes.

At Daniel W. Santos Fine Furniture we embrace the Shakers design ideals and create beautiful, useful objects exquisitely crafted, utilizing time-honored techniques that celebrate the natural beauty and strength of wood.

Period furniture encompasses those styles designed and built in America between the years 1680 and 1820, including William and Mary, Queen Anne, Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite, etc. This period is generally considered the pinnacle of furniture design. For this reason original furniture from this period is highly sought after by collectors of antique furniture and regularly demands high prices, frequently hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I have an extensive library of period furniture books, catalogues, photographs, and designs and can reproduce a particular antique or design a piece in a period style. [Click Here] to see the Gallery of Period Furniture.

An important and rewarding part of my business includes restoring, repairing, and caring for fine antique furniture and decorative items. The work may include cleaning, finish repairs, parts repair and replacement, regluing, re-veneering, etc. Any work performed on antiques is undertaken with the understanding that the value of an antique may be diminished if not done in an appropriate manner using quality materials and time-honored techniques.
