Hello, I’m Jeff Jenkins. I grew up in the antiques business. Leonards Antiques, originally established by Hazel & Lester Leonard in 1933, was subsequently managed by my father, Bob, for many years. In 1988 I purchased the business from my father and run it today along with my three sons and a dedicated staff. The internet and our website leonardsdirect.com have extended the company’s reach beyond what Mr. & Mrs. Leonard could have ever imagined. I decided to start a second website (this blog) as a resource for antique furniture lovers to share my experience with you. I hope you find it useful.
