Antique Furniture, Antique Oriental Porcelain, Antique Paintings, Antique Boxes & Accessories
The Farm Antiques of Wells, Maine has been providing discriminating connoisseurs beautifully crafted period antiques from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries since 1967. Our family business is known for its large selection of fine stylish antique furniture and accessories for formal, as well as, casual settings. A wide selection of English furniture in mahogany, walnut, oak and fruitwood from the Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton and Regency periods is always available.
Our Farm, nestled in 220 acres of the Maine countryside, just three miles from the ocean is where our hearts reside. This is reflected in our antique paintings. We acquire wonderful ship's portraits and maritime scenes from the 19th century; we have a penchant for animal paintings, particularly horses, dogs, and sheep.
Landscapes and still lifes are also found here. We cherish early prints -- botanicals, classical subjects, ships, architectural renderings, animals, coaching and hunting scenes. We have them sympathetically framed, often in custom made studio frames that draw attention to their engraved, etched or lithographed details.
Oriental porcelains have been a very special part of our studies for 45 years. Chinese export porcelain of the 18th century, particularly underglaze blue in unusual patterns or shapes, as well as Chinese tomb figures from the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties are displayed. Here you will also find a large selection of 19th century Japanese Imari porcelains, selected for the finesse of their decoration or the rarity of their shape. Metalware is always in abundance here at The Farm. Antique English brass, copper, and a large diverse stock of silverplate add spark and spirit to the surroundings.
And we have antique boxes! We love the elegance of the 18th and 19th century antique teacaddies with their myriad shapes and sophisticated inlays of exotic woods. We marvel at the complexities of writing boxes with their hidden drawers and organizational idiosyncracies. Apothecary boxes hold endless fascination with their bottles, scales, mortar and pestles.
