Elements
The tools we work with
Architectural Antiques, a browser’s paradise, a place to get lost among rare artifacts and amazing finds, in a continually developing showroom. It is a place of elements, big and small, where you can find a 16' art deco stained glass window or a simple antique doorknob.
Here is what you can find at Architectural Antiques
Light Fixtures
We house over 3,000 antique lights, from the pre-electric gas lighting to simple 1930’s porcelain bathroom wall sconces and large ballroom-style chandeliers. Here, you will find all of your lighting needs fulfilled. We also specialize in turn-of-the-century art glass shades.

Stone & Terra Cotta and Iron & Metalwork
Stone, wrought iron, terra-cotta & metalwork are some of the most unique architectural artifacts you will find, from a time when pride in craftsmanship was an art. These materials exemplify superior products that historically changed the way buildings are constructed, ornamented and created.
Doors and Entries
Whether interior or exterior, doors are always the initial statement to any of your rooms and the entrance to your home. From the simple classic door - a flat panel from the 1920's to the ornate – a spoon carved from the 1880’s, doors are the first thing you see at an entrance and make that initial statement.
