Our Story

We have been in the antique and fine arts business for well over 15 years. Our brand has evolved as we transitioned from renovating upscale properties to operating an upscale retail antique store in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

Jim Carpenter, co-proprietor of C&W Antiques graduated with a degree in business administration and grew up in the homebuilding industry as his father owned a highly successful contracting company in Richmond Virginia.

When Jim moved to Dallas Fort Worth, he and his business partner began buying larger properties in need of repair and completely renovating them with traditional detailing and old world inspiration. Prior to offering these properties for sale, each would be staged with English and French fine antique furnishings and art.

Patrick Walsh, co-proprietor of C&W Antiques, was born in Paris France and has lived throughout Europe . This is where he developed his passion for European antiques and his eye for the English and French manner style. After graduating from the University of Richmond, Patrick moved with his job to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
