My father, Greg Arceneaux, has dedicated his life's work to the
preservation of our unique, colorful heritage. We use time-honored
and tested designs with indigenous woods and the least amount of
chemicals possible because we believe just as strongly in the
preservation of our natural world as we believe in the renewal
and preservation of our culture in Louisiana. Our furniture has been
shipped all over this country as well as abroad, has it's own room in
the state museum, the Cabildo, and was used in the reenactment of
the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase in 2003
among numerous other cultural projects and awards. We also received
an award of excellence from Katrina Bounce Back from the Saint Tammany
Parish Chamber of Commerce for having demonstrated the resiliency,
tenacity and adaptability that has enabled this region to begin
it revitalization. We received this award for having temporarily
altered our business to repair many irreplaceable pieces of
antique Louisiana furniture damaged by the floods of Katrina. The floods
throughout history on the Mississippi Delta are the reason original
Louisiana furniture is so rare and sought after. Being one of the few
people in the world with the knowledge for this type of restoration
work, my father felt a call of duty to his community and ancestry
to do everything in his power to help preserve the foundations
in which this colorful, old-world city and way of life in this area
that it has prided itself on since it's beginnings. It is that pride
that has kept this culture alive, unique and pure throughout
the melting pot history that has formed the United States. When
you purchase a piece of Greg Arceneaux furniture, you are not
only getting a family heirloom that will last through generations
in your family, you are purchasing a part of cultural history unique
to our country of so much mixed diversity.
