"When you can't save the building, save the craftsmanship!"
For the past 25 years, John Dorety has been both buying and selling antiques, and designing and building with architectural salvage.
He reuses many of these elements to design and build beautiful wine cellars, bars, backbars, libraries, kitchen islands and a host of other functional items, in both residential and commercial settings.
His antique inventory includes lighting, stained glass, mantels, doors, carved wood panels, hardware and many other architectural elements from Philadelphia and its suburbs.
