In addition to its bread-and-butter reclaimed flooring business, Pomfret, Connecticut-based Old Wood Workshop has a nice selection of architectural salvage and iron door hardware at extremely reasonable prices. Though this mantelpiece was salvaged out of a 1790’s house in Canterbury, Connecticut, it would probably fit right in to one of the Greek Revival houses that dot Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill. This particular mantel is $600 and other wood ones range from $225 to $750 — very reasonable, especially if you’re accustomed to New York City prices. Has anyone every bought anything here?
Architectural Antiques [Old Wood Workshop]
I have a wood mantel that is already disconnected from the wall of my apartment in Park Slope. I would give it away for free to anyone who brings enough help to carry it out (down four flights of stairs) without banging up the building walls on the way down. I will be home all day Saturday if someone wants to pick it up. Email me at Mikey1L@msn.com
Oh no. Now the prices are sure to go up!
That is definitely cheap for those mantels.
