Land and Ross Antiques has been dealing in quality country and formal furniture out of Shakespeare, a small village within Perth East township in Ontario’s Perth County, since 1980, giving the business more than four decades of standing in the province’s antique trade. The shop specializes in nineteenth century furniture and accessories, sourcing pieces with genuine period character rather than reproductions, and it backs that inventory with in house restoration services for buyers who want a piece brought back to full condition rather than sold as is. For clients who cannot find exactly what they are picturing on the sales floor, the business also offers custom designed furniture, working directly with customers from initial concept through final delivery.
The operation has grown well beyond a single storefront. Land and Ross now spans three connected spaces: the original Land and Ross Antiques shop, the Shakespeare Antique Centre, and a warehouse space known as Flip, together covering more than 10,000 square feet of showroom and storage. That scale gives visitors a genuinely large inventory to work through in one visit, spanning formal antique pieces suited to a period restoration alongside sturdier country furniture built for everyday use. The business describes its own foundation as a lifetime of dealing quality antiques, custom furniture design, restoration, and consultation, language that reflects deep, hands on experience rather than a recently assembled retail operation.
Shakespeare itself sits along the well known antiquing corridor of Perth County, a rural stretch of southwestern Ontario that has long drawn collectors and dealers west of Kitchener Waterloo and south of Stratford, and Land and Ross has anchored that corridor for decades. Membership in a recognized Canadian antique dealers association underlines the business’s standing within the trade, and the company backs its sales with a free national shipping program, a meaningful convenience for buyers purchasing large furniture pieces from outside the immediate region who would otherwise face steep freight costs on their own.
Customer service is central to how the business positions itself, with an emphasis on consultation that carries a client from the earliest design conversation through delivery of the finished piece, whether that piece is a restored antique or something built new to period specifications. That full service model, spanning sourcing, restoration, custom fabrication, and shipping, distinguishes Land and Ross from smaller antique shops that sell inventory as found without additional services attached. Buyers working on a broader home restoration or design project can treat the business as a single resource for both authentic period furniture and skilled craftsmanship to match it.
For collectors and homeowners across Ontario and beyond seeking nineteenth century furniture, expert restoration, or custom period appropriate pieces, Land and Ross Antiques in Shakespeare offers over forty years of specialized experience across three connected retail and warehouse spaces, with national shipping to bring that inventory home.
