Reeves Art + Design — Attraction in Houston

I also agree that the merchandise is on the high end, but they do have incredible taste and always have an impressive inventory. This is the sort of place I will occasionally visit just to admire what's in stock, even if I have no intention of making a purchase. They specialize in mid-century modern and they're very knowledgeable about each and every piece. I think they find most of their pieces at auctions and estate sales.

I've purchased two pieces of art from them as well as my sofa. The sofa had been reupholstered beautifully and the cushions filled with a thin layer of down which makes it ideal for an afternoon nap on a rainy weekend. The owner also gave me the remaining fabric from the bolt in case I need to have a pillow or cushion redone somewhere down the line.

I gave it four stars because I felt a little slighted when I asked what company they used to reupholster their pieces. I wish I knew because whoever it is does a fabulous job. Well, they wouldn't tell me. I found that a little insulting. I mean, I'm sure there are many customers who have spent far more money at Reeves than myself, but I still consider myself a loyal customer -- it seems like it'd be a common courtesy to share that with a customer; especially one who bought an upholstered piece from them. I inherited two chairs from my grandparents that I'd like to have reupholstered - I don't think that 2 chairs would distract them from working on his items for too long. Plus, I can only afford to have one done at a time on my budget. That has been my only pet peeve with them.

Although most other antique stores have considerably lower prices, Reeves' high prices almost justify themselves when you take into account the immaculate condition most of pieces are in.

Their store is definitely worthy of a visit! And it's worth mentioning that they have a smaller store near the Westheimer & Dunlavy intersection with...

This gallery knowingly passed off a FAKE pastel by a famous artist and then asked me to get proof that is wasn't by the artist (which i did and actually got 4 opinions that said it was not by the artist). Not even the signature was right. If you don't know much about the art world, which i didn't until this incident, they have lots of ways to squirm out of having sold you a fake painting. This gallery was well versed in how to get around the fact that they had NO proof and did not check any information about a work before they "authenticated" it and sold it for more than even an original was worth. They provided NO proof that it was by the artist and it was kind of unbelievable how little they cared about their reputation. It was very obvious to me that they knew the work was a fake when they sold it. Fortunately I bought through 1stDibs who got me my money back after months of stalling. Hannah acted like I was rude for even questioning them as if they were above it all. She was extremely dismissive and unprofessional. I would NEVER buy from them !! DO NOT !! EVER !!!! And if they are trying to resell you this...

One amazing store. The high price tags are the only reason I did not give 5 stars. If you are looking for a vintage piece of furniture and are willing to pay the higher price tag for a quality item, this should be your first stop. What makes Reeves different than most other "antique" stores I have found, is that they are not just filled with junk that can be considered an antique. Each piece is in great condition, this probably includes already having been reupholstered or repainted, so they are take-home and ready-to-use. I guess if you are looking for your own project piece, then this would not be your first stop. Otherwise, prepare yourself to make a difficult decision of which great piece...
