Carl Moore Antiques
1610 Bissonnet St. 
Houston, TX 77005 View Map
713.524.2502

I visited at Carl Moore Antiques today with Chett Heitman and Chelsea Cunningham. Chett was extremely warm and friendly and happy to walk me through the store and educate me on many pieces they have there and provide a little background about the store.

Carl Moore Antiques has been in business for 26 years, the original owner being Carl Moore.  Geoffrey Westergaard began working for the business directly after graduating from Rice University with a Bachelor's Degree in Art History.  In 2000, Geoffrey bought the business from Carl and began to allow popular demand and current design trends dictate some of his acquisitions for the store.  The shop has become eclectic over the past ten years:  an amalgam of Continental, English and Asian antiques from varying time periods and styles.  Recently, the shop has seen a wave of Biedermeier, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Mid-Century, and Industrial pieces.  Also the more contemporary additions straddle the line between the fine and applied arts in a true Arts and Crafts fashion.  The shop receives a small quantity of reproduction pieces from furniture craftsmen out of France and England mainly due to customer demand of modern sized dining room tables and chairs.  Chett Heitman, Ivette Dorsey, and Chelsea Cunningham compose the team at Carl Moore Antiques.

Oxford Contractors Tip of the Week:

September and October are great months to do interior and exterior updates to get ready for the holidays and changing seasons.
Exterior projects can include:  repair rotten wood or siding, power wash the home, apply caulk as needed, clean gutters, and a fresh coat of paint which can change everything or add some great outdoor living areas. You will also add curb appeal and protect your home.
Interior projects can include: cleaning of floors - wood or stone, new fixtures, new paint, new countertops, add radiant barrier, add climate control setting for AC/Heat.  By doing these, you will be ready for the holidays while investing in savings.  

For all your home design and construction needs contact Oxford Contractors.
