Q: Where is your Shop? Do you have a Shop?
Our physical shop is located at 540 Naughright Road, Long Valley, NJ 07853. In addition, our inventory is posted on our website. The actual building is located behind the stone house that fronts the road but IT IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD. There are fluorescent orange triangles on either side of the driveway to guide you in. Unfortunately, the town does not allow us to display any type of signage at the street.
Q: Do you Specialize in any one Period or Type of Furniture?
Actually, no, we do not. We pride ourselves on having things and pieces that you just do not see in other shops. We strive to have items that have a unique quality. Fancy exotic woods, burled veneers, intricate carvings, items with character, not the sawdust and glue, no frills sort of things commonly seen today.
Q: How can I physically see something I saw on your website?
Our shop open hours are Saturdays from 8-6 and Sundays from 12-5. We can also arrange appointments on weekdays or most evenings with a bit of advance notice. Simply call, text or email us.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, checks with ID, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We do not accept American Express. We also offer a very generous layaway policy.
Q: Who does your Restoration work?
We do all our own work. Each piece is inspected upon arrival, cleaned and detailed as needed prior to addition to the inventory. Loose joints are reglued, distressed areas are often refinished as necessary with no indication that they have been touched. We also have an upholsterer on staff for repairs and/or reupholstery work.
Q: Do you do work for other people?
Yes, we do repairs/restoration/upholstery work for other people beyond our own inventory. Most repairs are quoted on a time and materials basis. We would offer a budget estimate for both repair cost, as well as time it might take to complete.
Upholstery work is also quoted per piece. Please provide a photo of the item and we would quote fabric yardages needed and labor costs. Material would be extra as needed, upon actual inspection of the item. And yes, we can supply fabric from one of our suppliers. We have selector books here to view. Your supplied fabric or ours, no difference in costs.
Q: How do I get in touch with you?
Call us at 908-455-2819 and leave a message if prompted. We will get back to you shortly thereafter, usually in a day or so, or you can email us at ed@stonehouseantiques.com
Q: When and where is your next show?
We post our next events on the home page of our website and you can check our Events Page for dates and locations.
Q: Where do you get your pieces from?
We have a number of different sources for our inventory, among them auctions, shows, markets, other shops, etc. I also occasionally purchase things from people that contact me looking to sell things. I do not buy out entire houses or collections, but prefer to "cherry pick".
Q: How often do you get new inventory in?
It varies; sometimes we buy things on a weekly basis, other times it may run a month or more if nothing pops up that we want or need. We never know when something will show up that we want for inventory. Check back often. We try to photograph and post things usually the day they arrive. If it has a price noted, it is in the store and available for purchase. If it has no price as yet, it has not been made ready for sale and is not in the store yet, but if interested, it can be discussed. Many times things are sold prior to ever posting on the web site, so it's best to keep a sharp eye out and visit often.
Q: You have a lot of items listed on your website. How much do you typically carry in inventory?
That can vary with the season, but typically we maintain about 300-350 pieces in inventory most anytime. If searching for a certain piece or trying to fill a need, it's always best to ask.
Q: What do you mean by "GENEROUS LAYAWAY POLICY"?
We offer a "NO INTEREST" layaway policy, details of which can be found on our "Policies Page".
Q: Do you deliver?
Yes, delivery can be arranged as needed. Depending on location, delivery charges may apply. They would be quoted upon request.
Q: Do you do appraisals?
No, I do not.
Q: Do you have a mailing list?
Yes, we maintain an active e-mailing list. Emails are sent out regularly with new acquisitions, upcoming show information and general news. PLEASE NOTE: We NEVER sell or share ANY contact information, PERIOD. Your contact information is kept in strictest confidence always.
