When we open on Tuesday, our shop will be overrun with chairs!
We have quite a variety coming into the shop, so let me give you a
quick glance at what will be available.
This is a solid antique French chair with original needlepoint done in

We have to close our first location that we now use as our base of furniture operations.
The first shop location in Malden Mass became our Maison Decor warehouse.
