About Us

Trade Roots is a hands-on business — many, many hands.

This store brings you furnishings that showcase many calloused hands, be they Chinese, Indian or North American, that over time and generations have burnished the worn shine of an antique.

This store brings you the many hands that have slowly and painstakingly crafted and polished wood, then stitched upholstery into a unique, locally crafted sofa that will be the antique of the future.

This store brings you the scarred and worn hands that have crafted steel into stunning pieces of furniture that speak to the metal’s industrial past.

This store brings you the many, many hands that will help you design your dreams, a design that isn’t copied from a magazine layout and won’t be replicated by anyone else because of the one-of-a-kind pieces chosen by pickers whose hands reach out across the globe to choose the quality items on Trade Roots’ floor.

Christos and Carla, owners of Trade Roots, pride themselves on laying their own hands on any task that will satisfy the client, whether it’s hammering the framework to hang antique Chinese doors in a modern setting or doing up the delicate clasp of a treasured piece of jewelry. Their hands will guide the buyer to others than can help fulfill the dream.

Picture the hands of the carpenter who will lay the bamboo flooring as a base for things to come.

Picture the hand of an interior designer sketching the pieces you have chosen into a comprehensive plan for your home. The designer’s hands reach out to the bamboo linens that will weave it all together into one stunning layout, to unique lighting that will show everything to its best advantage and to spectacular artwork that will only enhance it all.

Then picture everything in its place, the home you have wanted and the open house that follows with your friends, family and new friends made at Trade Roots helping you celebrate the dream.
