Devontry Workshop specializes in fine antique restoration, custom furniture and refinishing. Chairs are a large part of Devontry Workshop's business, the staff work on roughly 700 a year.
The company was started and is still run by Joseph Birgmann, who learned cabinet making from his father in his native Germany when he was young. After immigrating to America in 1958, he worked for Caledonian, a north shore antique shop, for ten years before establishing his own venture. The shop is located on on Pitner Avenue just north of Main Street.
