A lifelong resident of the North Shore of Massachusetts, Bill Healey has been in the restoration and antiques business for over 30 years.

After attending North Shore Community College for business education and Boston University for historical architecture, Healey started his professional career at a major full services restoration shop that offered cabinet making, finishing upholstery, appraisals and interior design. There, he spent time working with major museums including Historic New England (formerly S.P.N.E.A), Peabody Essex Museum and the Lynn Museum and Historical Society.

Since establishing his own business in 1978, Healey has catered to collectors, interior designers, museums and antique dealers. He has also been a board member of the Lynn Bicentennial Committee and the Lynn Historical Commission, involved in historical preservation of architecture and sites, and public events.

Currently, Mr. Healey does wide-ranging work for the Peabody Historical Society - appraising the collection, restoring furniture and paintings, and also consulting in appropriate placement of the collection's pieces within various galleries and properties.

Mr. Healey was also schooled in horticulture at the Essex Agricultural and Technical Institute, studying landscape design, plant identification and floral design. He continues to be an avid gardener and paints for pleasure in oils, watercolor and acrylics.

Each of these activities has furthered Mr. Healey's training and instilled in him a great attention to detail and concern for the quality of his completed product.
