TILGHMAN Chicago works by appointment only, because -

A Professional Craftsman works best with their clients in a one on one setting discussing their furniture project.

Appointments are held in person at my Studio Workshop or for a scheduled phone discussion.

And because I am not a retail / Antique dealer, a store front location is not needed for me to Restore or build Antique Furniture.

It all begins with a Phone call or email so feel free to contact me with your questions.

*Starting estimates are performed during a personal inspection and the final cost is based on Time & Materials needed to complete your project.

** All Furniture restoration and refinishing work is performed in my woodworking shop and finishing studio. You are welcome to call and schedule an appointment. On site service is available for structures that cannot be transported.

***The Antique furniture displayed on this website is from the private collections of my clients who commissioned me for my services. I do not buy and resale pre-owned furniture nor am I an antique dealer. All of the work displayed on this website has been performed by myself and for the purpose to show my craftsmanship for services offered.

Your priceless antique / family heirloom furniture is never passed by myself to an unskilled workmen.

Thank you,

James Tilghman.
