Trimble's Tavern Antiques is the regions' local leader in antiques restoration as well
as the creation of custom and reproduction antique furniture.






















































































My workshop is a busy place with many projects going on at any one time--
with an able staff and the proper tools, woods and finishes on-hand,
we are quite confident that we can fulfill your expectations in
the restoration of your fine furniture.

knowledge of those traditions passed down from one craftsman to another is
considerable--his own aprenticeship, and his instructors' and theirs before
him, began at an early ageeffectively cover some 200 years of experience.



Understanding how such pieces were first created is vital in their restoration
and repair--a keen eye can pick up details many an untrained eye would miss.
The replication of missing or damaged portions of a scroll-back chair, a period

eyes of those who first created them. Chris Trimble possesses this keen eye and
depth of understanding as few actually do
