Old Plank is a Chicago-based furniture store offering European antiques and custom-made pieces from its 33,000-square-foot showroom. Founded by Robin and Richard Buxbaum in 1992, the family-owned operation has supplied unique furnishings for decades. It's a big space.
The company's inventory is a mix of curated European and French Country antiques alongside new furniture handcrafted in their on-site workshop. This custom work, part of the Old Plank Collection, often incorporates reclaimed wood sourced from old barns and other structures. They also carry select brands like Tolix.
Old Plank specializes in finding distinctive artifacts and building furnishings designed to last for generations. Their selection includes items like French ebonized furniture, large dining tables, and even full-size sheep sculptures. The showroom itself is known for its resident pets, including a Macaw parrot.
