MASONSTIQUES

Welcome to Masonstiques. My name is Jeff Mason and I currently reside in West Point, New York. My wife(Beth) and I have been married 12 years. She has been in the army alomost 15 years. I am a proud stay at home Dad for our 5 year old daughter(Cadence) and 8 year old son(Tyler). They are turning into very good helpers.

I have been collecting and dealing in Country Antiques for nearly 20 years. Growing up in New England allowed me to gain both the knowledge and appreciation for good early painted furniture. I work very hard at finding the best painted surfaces I can find. Many of them are original or early overpaints. I also do my very best to offer them at affordable prices.

I carry mostly painted country furniture, primitives, folk art and varied smalls. Please let me know what you are in the market for and I will keep an eye out for it.

Shipping is via blanket wrap shipper or one of your choosing. Buyer pays for all shipping. Pick-ups are always welcome. No extra fees for temporary storage. Deliveries are possible if within range for a small fee. Most smalls will be shipped via USPS, UPS or FedEX.

If headed to Massachusetts please let me know. I can send you to Westfield. There are 3 great shops(2 family and one good friend) that are only a few miles from the Mass Pike. All have a nice mixture of country and collectibles. And if you mention my name they will gladly give you a discount.

If I can be of any assistance please contact me. Jeff Mason 586A Connor Road West Point New York 10996 1-845-446-2508 antiqueman@hvc.rr.com
