The Stanley Weiss Collection represents a gathering of fine museum quality furniture, of both American and continental origin, that is unmatched in both quality and condition i.e. restorations. Our home base in Rhode Island has afforded us the opportunity to accumulate many fine antiques directly from local estates and from local estate auctions. It has been my pleasure for the last 25 Years to scour New England, and often beyond, for material that is worth owning and enjoying…it is with great energy and passion that I scrutinize each piece. As a stalwart antique tracker it is my pleasure to find the finest pieces, without restorations for the fairest price at which it can be offered to our customer. We have, in essence, done the haggling and ferreting out of the reasonable prices, and charging only the kind of number I would be willing to pay, were I the customer.

In keeping with the ideals of quality and value, I have found our location qualified to house the collection with the elegant grandeur it demands. The acquisition of the venerable Tilden-Thurber Co., Rhode Island’s "Purveyor of the Best," for the past 200 years produces the perfect home for the collection I had amassed. Through the Tilden-Thurber exhibit galleries, the fruits of many years of rigorous pursuit can be displayed in a capacity that you can enjoy through the Internet. (See our history and location page.) Interestingly, as Tilden-Thurber primarily focused on Estate jewelry, we have continued that tradition.


Welcome to The Stanley Weiss Collection home page. I invite you to enjoy these pieces and the comments that accompany many pieces. We believe the quality of our antiques must always be that of "museum quality." We believe that since most of the year is lived indoors, especially at home, why not spend this time with beautiful furniture. In the 18th and 19th century, when wealth was being accumulated in America, and elsewhere, people generally put beautiful furniture in their home in addition to paintings, silver, ceramic, et cetera. These artifacts are the daily joys we come to live with, and each piece we offer, we feel has the "fineness" and quality that you will enjoy through the years. Knowing especially that the provenance of your antique was part of the Stanley Weiss Collection, and documented herewith is our special gift to you that will increase in value to you through the years.

Sincerely,
