Canal Street Primitives Offers Handmade Furniture
Canal Street Primitives, located at 9 E. Canal St. in downtown Troy, is a one-of-a-kind destination filled with the woodwork of local craftsman Bruce Bayman.
Even though his work is created in modern times, pieces are reminiscent of early American life.
"Most pieces represent and are inspired by pieces found in the homes of common folks in 19th century rural areas of the eastern United States,” Bayman said
The shop also features carefully selected merchandise from around the country including Windsor chairs, upholstered
furniture, handmade coverlets, folk art, pottery, hooked rugs, clocks and more. Bruce and his co-owner wife Debbie, travel to places near and far searching for these items.
“Our goal is to continue to bring more items from the best craftsmen in the country into our shop to compliment our own lines,” Bayman said.
During the holiday shopping season, visitors to Canal Street Primitives, which is open Thursday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m., can browse through furniture and accessories complimented with holiday decorating.
Bayman features his own line of handcrafted primitive and country furniture which includes farm tables and desks, cupboards and hutches, entertainment centers, chests and benches among a list of other items.
Hand-built from solid kiln dried pine, poplar and maple, Bayman said each piece is hand painted, distressed and then given a hand rubbed finish.
Pieces are available in a variety of different colors, some with unique artwork and graining. Custom orders can also be placed on request.
Bayman comes across his skills quite naturally having been raised in a home filled with antiques and “projects” influenced by the look of the colonial style of furniture and decorating. The distressed look of his furniture and its varying styles is a tribute to this upbringing.
“The typical finish I use is of multi-layered paint which is aged and distressed to give an authentically old look,” he said.
“Furniture is represented along with all the accessory items that go along with it, so buyers can find much of the merchandise they need in one place,” he added.
In fact, Canal Street Primitives is located in an historic home in Troy.
“The property had been used for various businesses over the years, but had at one time been a residence. The building still looks like a home, so it was ideal to display our furniture,” he said.
“Rooms are filled with furniture and we have acquired folk art and many other accessory items to make the shop look just like a decorated country home.”
Keeping true to the family theme, Canal Street Primitives also features the work of Georgia and Marcella Bayman, who have contributed many of the handmade items for sale in the shop including hooked mats, pillows, folk art dolls, penny rugs, hand-stitched items and many others.
Other purchased items for the store can be custom fit to shoppers’ needs.
“We carry upholstered furniture in traditional and cottage styles with a wide variety of fabric choices. Fabrics are available to be custom ordered on any frame including sofas, love seats, chairs, ottomans and recliners,” he said. “With so many frame styles and fabric choices there is something for everyone’s taste.”
