Hartmann Antiques is located at 1033 Hoagerburgh Road, Wallkill, NY 12589 in Ulster County.

From Hartmann Antiques: "Welcome to our 2000 square foot refurbished historic barn in southern New York State just over the boarder from Orange County into Ulster, just 15 minutes northwest from Newburgh and south of New Paltz. Our barn sits overlooking the Shawangunk Mountain range where Mohonk House and Minniwaska are located.

"Kerry's mother and father, Fred and Harriet Hartmann 50 years ago started this business, now owned and operated by Jim and Kerry Konopka. Dad showed his "favorite son-in-law", Jim, how to refinish furniture and achieve the "Hartmann color and finish" reputation. It was a slow process by hand stripping, rubbing, using the secret "Hartmann colored stain", which was always specially mixed, and the many brush applied coats of varnish and shellac and not too mention the sanding in between each coat of finish. Yes, it was not easy, but who said something that looks that good could be that easy.

"Harriet has rubbed off on her daughter Kerry the knack for displaying and decorating all of these pieces in a home setting. There has been many times that a piece was sold as it was displayed, with all the decorations on it.Our selection of pine primitives has not changed through all these years. Harriet was criticized by not going into other types of furniture by other dealers, and that she would die with those pine primitives. But she did not and neither has Jim or Kerry.

"The Hartmanns do carry other kinds of furniture woods such as some chestnut, oak, cherry and several lovely empire pieces. We take pride in our enormous selection of one of a kind and unusual items. Our barn is filled with country furniture like desks, tables, dressers, end tables, apathacaries, pie safe, corner cupboards, straight cupboards, stepback cupboards, barrel back cupboards and all of this mixed with accessories such as mirrors, lighting, wall hanging items and many other interesting pieces.

"Harriet at 90 years of age and Fred at 93 years of age are still very much interested in the goings on of Hartmann Antiques and still contribute helpful suggestions to both Jim and Kerry. And of course their knowledge has been the foundation which Kerry and Jim have continued in the success of Hartman Antiques."
