Since their beginning some thirty five years ago Therien & Co. has set the standard for quality and style in fine period antiques on the west coast. First in San Francisco and later in their Los Angeles galleries Therien has always sought the very best and most beautiful.

About twenty years ago Therien's partners realized that fine antiques which met their high standards were becoming alarmingly scarce while fetching enormous prices. They opted to give the company a new focus and soon new, original furniture, beautifully handcrafted, was coming out of their own design studio and workshop. Studio Workshops was born, reviving some long neglected arts of woodworking and hand finishing, emphasizing integrity of design and quality of materials, construction and finish.

Therien & Co. antiques continue in both San Francisco and Los Angeles with 18th and early 19th century pieces now mingling with one-of-a kind 20th century ones.

Studio Workshops has their own galleries in both cities and National presence through Holly Hunt, George Cameron Nash and Jerry Pair showrooms.
