I have an oil-on-canvass painting in an antique-looking gold frame that was missing a piece of the moulding at lower right corner (see the gaping hole on the frame in Pic1). So I visited Christopher House Antiques in Birmingham, Alabama, and spoke to Mr. Stephen Kao, its owner. He is such a nice gentleman, and very pleasant to talk to. He examined the frame and said he would be able to repair it. Basically he made a copy of the moulding pattern from another part of the frame and inserted it into the gaping hole, and touched it up as needed with gold paint. Now the frame looks fantastic (see Pic2), and I can’t even tell if it ever had a gaping hole ! I highly recommend Mr. Stephen Kao and his Christopher House Antiques for repairing antique pieces including frames and art pieces. He told me he also repairs antique furniture.

This place is messy and poorly kept. We like antique stores and visit them anywhere we go and this was not a good one.

Great place to buy Unique antiques! The owner is awesome. He also does great work refinishing any kind of antique you have. I highly recommend! Will continue to use him indefinitely.

They do exceptional reupholstery and repairs with fair pricing. The owner is very honest even if loses a dollar or two being that way, not to mention super cool store!

Needed their services to repair an item I sold to a client in Birmingham that was damaged by my carrier. They were super helpful and repaired the item and delivered it to my client who was very pleased! Thank you so much for everything!

Nice small place, not much for antiques but definitely a place to look for antique furniture and restored furniture. Bring a coat if the weather is cool because it is just a large open warehouse.

I stopped by October 5th, and found that nothing in the shop is priced. I found a lamp. So I asked for price. I was told by the lady working she didn’t know.I found a vase I really liked. Was told again “I don’t know the price”. I found a coffee table I liked. Again no price. So at that point I just left. Will not be back.My advise is to price what you want to sale and have someone that knows what’s going on. Or just close the doors to the public. And focus on repairs.
