Welcome to the Maritime Painted Saltbox. We are a small design studio, workshop and gallery, specializing in building reproduction heritage furniture and furnishings in the practical and colorful tradition of 19th century Nova Scotia.

We design and build corner cupboards, dish dressers, wardrobes, kitchen tables, side boards, side tables, washstands, hanging cupboards, dry sinks, benches and a whole lot more. All our furniture is designed and produced here at the Painted Saltbox using only solid wood construction. Pine is used as the primary wood with poplar as a secondary wood. Most of the wood we use is harvested and milled locally here in Lunenburg County. We invite you to view the several sections of our furniture gallery. Then visit our Fine Art and Folk Art Galleries for a complete tour of The Maritime Painted Saltbox. It makes for a unique experience.
