Question
Can you give me any information about a company from Johnson City TN called Empire Chair Company. I bought a mahogany dining set with that company name under each chair. I also bought a dining set that they described as "Treasure House". Any information on these two companies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
Dave

Answer
Hi David
Nice to hear from you.
A Google search found quite a bit of info about these companys.
Too much for me to go through, but I will leave that to you in hope you will find what you seek.
As I live in Canada, I do not have a lot of knowledge about American Companys and rely on the internet to find out things like this so I appreciate questions like yours as its a learning experience for me too.

Expertise

I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.

Experience

I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
