Leonards Antiques of New England

Leonards Antiques of New England is a furniture store in Seekonk, Massachusetts. The shop carries antique and reproduction furniture, with beds as a specialty: king, queen, double and twin sizes, plus a sleep center, along with cabinets, consoles, servers, shelves, accent chairs and chair sets, chests and lift tops, desks and secretaries, dining and occasional pieces, cocktail and coffee tables, nightstands, seating, lighting, mirrors, boxes and storage, pillows and throws, wall art, fine art and curiosities. Lester and Hazel Leonard opened the shop in Seekonk in 1933, and it earned a reputation for restoring furniture and pioneering the art of resizing antique beds. Bob Jenkins managed and eventually owned Leonards for nearly 30 years, until his son Jeff purchased the family business in 1988. Jeff Jenkins has spoken of enjoying long-term relationships with generations of customers.

The team describes its work as a conversation among each other, customers, designers and the workshop, and its enthusiasm for antique furniture and bespoke craftsmanship is built on decades of experience evaluating inventory for both beauty and practicality. Customers report delight in a resized family heirloom bed or in family gatherings around a custom, hand-crafted farm table, and the shop searches out furnishing solutions for problem spaces, with no project too small or too large.

Seekonk Town Hall is roughly three tenths of a mile away, and the Newman YMCA and the Conservation Commission are each about four tenths of a mile from the shop.
