Gates Antiques Ltd. started as a full service repair shop in 1961. John A. Gates Jr. learned from his uncle, a respected cabinet maker in Farmville, Va. John’s tradition of high quality service continues with his son, Jay. Whether your piece is a fine Virginia piece from the 18th century or a cherished 20th century piece, Gates Antiques takes equal pride in every piece and uses the same standard regardless of an item’s age. Jay often says “If I wouldn’t put it in my home, why would I expect you to?” when referring to repair work.
