Where History Meets Design

The Other Treasure is a boutique furniture studio specializing in the restoration, refinishing, and curation of heirloom-quality vintage pieces. What began as a personal passion has grown into a thriving studio known for timeless furniture with character, craftsmanship, and modern refinement.

Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the studio focuses on iconic American makers like Henkel Harris, Craftique, Baker, Statton, Stickley, Drexel, and more. Rooted in classic styles—Chippendale, Federal, Neoclassical—its aesthetic also embraces grandmillennial charm and Hollywood Regency flair.

Alongside a curated collection of ready-to-ship pieces, The Other Treasure offers refinishing services for select in-house finds. With a dedicated trade program and nationwide shipping, the studio helps bring meaningful, design-driven pieces into beautiful spaces.
