The new address is officially 285 Chestnut St 02492 Needham, Ma. The telephone number is still the same: 617 999 0269. At the new location, the restoration workshop is fully operative, while for antique furniture sales it’s advisable that you call in advance to check in-store presence while minor renovation work is in progress.
Many wonder if it’s worth importing all the way to Boston antique pieces from Europe in this economy, with the US Dollar at record low levels against the Euro.
That’s pretty surprising to hear, but it happens more often.
The surprise is to see how distant many Americans are from Europe in the sense that they don’t know that the United Kingdom never joined the European single currency, called Euro, and is therefore not affected by the bad exchange rate Euro-USD.
Instead the British Pound Sterling is used in the UK (GBP) and that is hitting record low levels to the Euro just like the USD!
So yes, as far as currency values are concerned, it’ makes perfect sense to import quality antiques from England!
The matter is actually a lot more complicated because many other factors play a huge role in making the imports worthwhile, but you’ll be able to read more about the subject soon, here on our news and information blog.
