Remember when furniture was lovingly and painstakingly crafted by hand? Sherry and Warren Gorman remember. They recently opened their Remember When Antiques in the rear of Washington's Country Store to offer fine furnishings fashioned by artisans as a choice from the mass produced assembly line outpourings of modern furniture stores.
The tastefully decorated showroom holds a wide range of antiques from primitives to fine formals with an accent on old English. "We have a customer who turned into a buyer who travels to England twice a year and picks up things for us,” Sherry explained.
Sherry attributes her interest in antiques to her husband’s parents who have managed their own antique business at Millwood in Clarke County for the past decade. “We worked with them and collected on our own for five or six years," she said. Sherry added that Remember When’s customers will have access to her in-laws’ $500,000 worth of inventory. ‘‘With that much inventory, you can imagine the selection they have." she said.
In addition to old pieces, the Gormans will make reproductions of antique furniture in pine or oak. Sherry also puts her green thumb to good use with the many house plants she offers for sale. In addition to dried flower arrangements, calico and gingham accessories and copper and brass. Remember When also sells original paintings, including oils by local Washington artist Helen Bridges.
Sherry and her husband, an administrative assistant with Miter Corporation in McLean, afe in the shop on weekends from noon until 9 p.m. and in the evenings on Wednesday through Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. The rest of the week. Remember When
