Historic workshop with antique restoration tools

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Founded in 1998, Time Past Antiques Shop began as a small family business with a simple mission: to preserve the beauty and craftsmanship of bygone eras. What started in a modest workshop has grown into the Pacific Northwest's most trusted name in antique restoration.

Our founder, Master Restorer Emily White, brought together traditional European restoration techniques with modern conservation science. This unique approach has allowed us to successfully restore thousands of precious antiques while maintaining their historical integrity.

Today, we continue this tradition with a team of skilled artisans who share our passion for preserving history. Each piece that enters our workshop receives the same meticulous attention to detail that has defined our reputation for over 25 years.
