Both pieces had taken a beating over the years with five children in our busy household. The furniture was picked up and returned like new a week or two later. They look amazing! The delivery men put the furniture directly into the room I wanted. I'm beyond pleased. These two pieces will last a few generations more. I'd recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work. Thank you, Mr. Falvey.

My wife had been a customer last year, and the service was okay. It was the co-owner of the store…read morethat had been incredibly rude to her that caused us to take our business elsewhere. We believe in supporting small, locally owned businesses and it's truly sad that I have to warn others to avoid this business at all cost. Recently, I had to drop off something for a friend's store that is adjacent to this store. The item was heavy and I was asked to do so behind the shop. I parked in a spot that was designated for Frame Gallery Customers. Note it says for customers. I asked my friend to wait in the car with the keys in case he needed to use it. I was only away for 2 minutes when the co-owner (Kohar Allen) of the store blocked my car in on purpose. I get it, she likely has had to deal with people parking there and not coming to her store. But she had no idea if I was a customer or not so her behavior was insane. My friend tried to explain to her the situation and that we leaving right away. She refuses to move her car. I also went into the store and tried to explain and reminded her we had been a customer. She said "I don't care. This is your problem now so deal with it." I actually had to call the police. She lied and said I had threatened her. Luckily my friend was there to witness the entire thing. The police told me after that they have had to deal with her and that she was a difficult, strange person. They made her move the car and informed her that her actions were illegal. They asked if I wanted to press charges but I refrained. I just wanted to leave. I feel so sorry for this sad, hateful woman. She repeated often that she didn't care. She had no initial concern of whether I was a customer or not, which the officer pointed out to her. She is clearly a bitter person, who has no concern for customers or the community. I would highly recommend you take your business elsewhere. We have loved the Framers Workshop in Brookline Village.

If you are looking for an antiques shop where the owner really knows their business, this is the…read moreone for you, even if you have to drive out to Brookline from Boston (not that far really.) Prices are very reasonable--they are not out to get you but to share their love of antiques with you--and the store encompasses a wide definition of what an antique really is. Sometimes an "antique" can be a lamp or table that is actually very modern in concept and history, but is not appreciated by many homeowners. The owner also has a very good sense of design, and if you tell her where the piece is going to go, she can advise you on whether it is the right choice. Highly recommended!

Autrefois definitely did not share the crowded, dusty feel most antique shops I've been to -- I can't profess expertise in the area, but the store seemed pared down without being austere. The pieces were all wonderful, and I know that at least some were artfully restored, so well, in fact, that I even asked the owner about the great condition of most of the things, and she was happy to show me exactly where certain pieces were restored (she seemed to indicate that they are sent off for professional restoration). It's worth noting that I didn't see a piece that was obviously restored, and everything had a great patina. As I told her, if I had the money, I would be a frequent patron!
