A Family Tradition

Archer’s Antiques is a family business started in Port Bolster, Ontario, in 1959. Between Steve and his Grandfather, the Archer family has been buying, selling and restoring early North American furniture and artifacts for over 60 years. Steve’s restoration skills were developed in his youth by working with his grandfather. Steve’s grandfather was renowned for his skills, and his reputation drew customers to his Port Bolster shop from miles away- many from as far as Toronto. This popularity and quality reputation continues with his grandson, with customers from near and far seeking the specialized collection curated by Steve. In the 1980s Steve moved west, settling in Southern Alberta, and taking the business with him. Between the 1980s and early 2000s, Steve carried on the tradition and travelled across North America looking for treasures to add to the ever-growing collection for the store. 

After years of treasure hunting, restoration and refinishing….

After years of treasure hunting, restoration and refinishing, Steve finally decided to retire from custom restorations of antiques for clients.  Steve continues to work on restorations for the store,  and now only works on the antiques he has acquired from years of collecting. These days the antiques come to him, through reputation and from downsizing collectors, past customers, and recommendations.
