About
Perennial Wares is a DC-based vintage furniture operation. We source directly from estate sales, auctions, barn finds, and dealers across Europe and Scandinavia -- cutting out the middleman to bring well-priced, well-considered pieces to people who care about what they live with.
Every piece is original. No reproductions, no compromises. We look for objects built to last, made by designers and manufacturers who understood that good form and honest materials are the same thing. If something needs attention before it leaves us, it gets it.
Based in Washington DC. Available nationwide.
The clients who find their way here tend to be people who care about what's in their home — young designers and architects furnishing a first space, or seasoned collectors looking for something they can't find elsewhere. What they share is a preference for objects that mean something.
