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 either at my Studio Workshop or at your Residence.

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.


I only use the best materials in combination with traditional hand tools & machines. No job is rushed.

For more details please see my other pages.
