Trey Sherman learned his craft the old-fashioned way—at his father’s knee—an apt history for the owner of an antique and furniture restoration shop.
“I grew up in this business,” says Trey, whose father, Tommy Sherman, opened Greystone Antiques in 1972.
Trey has spent his entire life learning about antiques. He knows their history, as well as the construction techniques of bygone master craftsmen, and appreciates that the value of antiques reaches much deeper than what a piece will bring on the open market.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is restoring family heirlooms, or customizing a piece to better suit its new use,” says the Furman University graduate. “Restoring or duplicating a piece that’s been in someone’s family for generations also revitalizes the memories associated with it.”
With two locations packed full of fine furniture and accessories, Trey is committed to offering “quality and craftsmanship that will satisfy the most discerning customer at a price they can afford.”
Greystone’s expertise is truly ecumenical. “We’ll fix anything for anybody,” says Trey, who’s the go-to guy for everything ranging from period Louis XIV to a piece from Haverty’s. “Whether it’s for free advice, a purchase or a restoration, we’re here to help.”
