In an age of mass-produced furniture and disposable trends, nothing compares to the beauty, integrity, and individuality of custom craftsmanship. At ECR Antiques, we offer more than restoration—we design and build custom furniture pieces that reflect timeless quality and personal vision. Serving discerning clients across Manhattan and Queens, NY, our artisans specialize in bespoke furniture design and expert chair manufacturing, rooted in classical woodworking and tailored to modern living.
Whether you’re seeking a showpiece for your home, a faithful reproduction of a historic design, or an original creation to match your aesthetic, we craft furniture with enduring purpose and uncompromising detail.
Bespoke Custom Furniture Pieces
Creating custom furniture pieces is both an art and a collaboration. At ECR Antiques, we work closely with homeowners, interior designers, collectors, and architects to bring your vision to life—whether that’s a single heirloom-quality piece or an entire suite of custom-built furnishings.
Each project begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we assess your design preferences, spatial needs, and material choices. From there, our expert craftsmen design and hand-build your piece using premium hardwoods, traditional joinery, and historically informed finishing techniques.
From carved sideboards and minimalist tables to bespoke cabinets with intricate inlays, every detail is handled with intention. The result: a one-of-a-kind piece that honors timeless aesthetics and elevates your space.
Chair Manufacturing with Artistry and Precision
Chairs are among the most structurally and visually complex pieces of furniture to design. Our expertise in manufacturing chairs spans styles from classical to contemporary, with each piece engineered for comfort, durability, and style.
We design chairs from the ground up, ensuring every curve and joint serves both form and function. Our manufacturing process includes careful wood selection, traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, and, if desired, custom upholstery in your choice of fabrics or leathers.
Whether you’re furnishing a dining room with a matching set, replicating a cherished antique, or commissioning a statement piece, we deliver seating solutions that are as dependable as they are beautiful.
The Legacy of Eli Furniture
Our approach to furniture making is inspired by the craftsmanship legacy of Eli Rios Antique Furniture, a name well-respected throughout the New York design and antiques community. Known for its precision and refined detail, Eli’s influence can be seen in the values we uphold—uncompromising quality, bespoke design, and deep respect for tradition.
ECR Antiques carries that spirit forward. We build furniture not only to complete a space but to become a lasting part of your life and your family’s history.
