• Yes. We are always buying. In addition to hunting and salvaging our unique items, we purchase directly from people like you. If you are interested in selling your antique elements, please contact us via email: buying@archantiques.com or call our store: 612-332-8344.

    Please understand that we are not interested in all antiques, and there are many factors that may lead us to be uninterested in certain items.

  • No, we do not consign. However, we are willing to purchase many antiques directly. Please see above and don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • Absolutely! We will ship anywhere in the continental US. We are willing to work to accommodate some (but not all) international shipping requests. We do our best to accurately represent shipping costs in our online store, but given the unique nature of many of our items, there may be some hiccups. If something doesn't seem right about our shipping, please don't hesitate to reach out: sales@archantiques.com

  • Yes and no. We offer a complete light restoration service, details of which can be found here on our website. These services are included in the purchase of any light fixture, and we provide a rewire and restoration service for customer-owned fixtures as well. We do not do woodwork restoration or window restoration, but we may be able to recommend others who can should you require such services.

  • No. Our policy has always been that all sales are final. We would be happy to discuss the details of any of our inventory with you ahead of purchase, as well as providing addition photographs or information, so that you can make sure each unique piece is the right one for your home.

  • There are many ways to find this out, but purchasing unique antique elements will always require some creative vision. Have no fear, we are here to help. If you have any questions about any items, or how they might fit into your space, please email us: sales@archantiques.com. Please include a copy of the item’s 5 digit AA# in the email to allow us to find the item in question. We can provide extra photographs, elaborate on dimensions, or even look at pictures of your space to help determine if our unique product is right for you.

  • Our lights are perfectly safe. When you purchase a light from Architectural Antiques, we have included in the cost a complete rewire of the fixture. Over many years, the wires and other components in antiques lights can degrade with heat and handling (or mishandling). It is always better to be safe and have the light completely rewired. When you purchase a light from us, you can rest assured that it has been carefully inspected and rewired by a UL certified technician. If you have any antique lights of your own that you have safety doubts about, please reach out to sales@archantiques.com, and we can provide a consultation or a quote for a safe rewire.

  • We offer 24-hour holds on any product in our store, but no longer than that. Inventory is only marked sold once payment has been received. Our inventory is individual, unique, and highly desirable.
