Our History

Duane's Antique Market has a wonderful selection of fine antique furniture and bric-a-brac from all over the world. With a large well-lit, heated showroom and new stock arriving weekly, we are capable of providing for all your furniture needs. Besides our 12,000 square foot of retail space, we have numerous 40' containers for excess stock.We have, through the years, helped to furnish not only many homes but also many businesses with antiques. Nordstrom's Department store acquired millions of dollars worth of fine antiques from us in the 70's.  We have also helped many hotels, restaurants, drinking establishments, bed & breakfasts, and doctors and attorneys to acquire the items which have set them apart from their competitors by adding to their décor with the warmth of beautiful well-aged antique furniture.

Duane's Antique Market not only sells antique furniture but also restores it. We have built one of the best restoration facilities in Alaska.  Though we mostly restore our own stock, we also accommodate customers in restorations. With our 35 years of experience, we are capable of restoring your antique furniture.
