How long has OPHH been in business?

We began as an "online only" store in June of 2001.

Are you a manufacturer?

No. We are essentially a retailer (or etailer). We are however Designers and have strong relationships with Individual Craftsmen, and small companies who produce the items we offer. This allows us the ability to execute custom work for our customers.

Do you represent the Mission style only?.

We specialize in Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Mission, and Prairie styles. Many of our products are also geared for Tudor Manor and Cottage styles. Recently, we have expanded our lighting lines with a more Contemporary feel.

Do you stock these items?

Many of our items have many options and made to order. Therefore, it is not practical to pre-select options and hold stock. We do however stock many small items such as some doorbells, house numbers, mailboxes, and switch plates. Many of our suppliers do stock some items and will drop ship direct to our customers for us.

What is the lead time for your products?

Lead times vary greatly from manufacturer to Craftsman, and from product to product. In many cases, the options selected will also determine the lead time. We have some products that take only one week before shipping. And we have some items that can take up to 10-14 weeks such as custom rugs. We have a slogan...."Good Things Are Worth Waiting For."

What if I receive my item and I do not like it just isn't right for the space?.

We cannot stress this enough...Please Read Our Returns Policy. We do everything possible to help our customers in their decisions in order to make sure they are making the best possible decisions. Because of this, we have extremely low return attempts. Many of our items are made to order according to our customer's selections and non-returnable. Or there may be a very high restocking fee. Many of our item are however returnable.

Do you ship Internationally?.

Yes. We can ship to certain International locations. We do however, examine the origins of the order very carefully and screen/confirm with the customer first. We have shipped to Canada, UK, Japan, and Australia. Shipping for International orders are quoted or our customer will pay "actual shipping costs" without any mark up. International customers are fully responsible for any possible tax, tariff, or customs fees (upon delivery or residual).

Dard Hunter

Dard Hunter Studios

Oak Park Home & Hardware began working with Dard Hunter in 2001. Over the years, we have provided many Dard Hunter Studios’ items for our customers from Dard Hunter tile frames, Dard Hunter mortise and tenon frames, Dard Hunter mirrors, Dard Hunter framed prints, and Dard Hunter gift items/accessories. We have also developed some custom solutions for our customers, which have been crafted by Dard Hunter Studios. One of our more memorable moments was when Dard Hunter III attended a special event for us at our store, demonstrating old school printmaking. Dard brought an old letterpress and made prints for our customers on the spot.

Dard Hunter Legacy Style Tile Frames

Dard Hunter tile frames are handmade by master craftsmen at the Dard Hunter Studios in Chillicothe Ohio. Dard Hunter uses only quarter sawn white oak because of its durability and its inherently beautiful grain patterns. Each board is hand selected to ensure that your frame will possess a unique and naturally beautiful ray flake pattern.

Each frame is assembled using mortise and tenon joints. After assembly, each frame is sanded smooth by hand to insure a flawless finish. The craftsmen use a four step finishing process, the final of which is a hand rubbed wax.

The Dard Hunter Studios name and logo is branded into the back of each frame. This guarantees that each frame is authentic and handmade at the Dard Hunter studio. You will also find the back of the frame is finished with the same care as the face of the frame.

Each frame comes with a slotted hanging notch, which is milled into the back. Please note that series frames are notched for vertical and horizontal hanging. A milled ledge on the frame face holds the tiles and heavy duty framing staples anchor the tiles from the back.

Made especially to fit any tile, you will find no better way to display and enhance your tile selection. These frames are finished to withstand sunlight and years of wear.

Dard Hunter Square Rose Lace Curtains

A recent addition to our Dard Hunter line of home furnishings has been created by our friend Dan Cooper, of Cottage Lace. Dan realized that there were few lace curtain choices for residents of early 20th century homes, and none made from the authentic scrim as was sold in The Craftsman. We are proud to offer the Dard Hunter Square Rose design in these highest quality 100% cotton Madras weave panels, which grant privacy while allowing the maximum amount of light.

Dard Hunter Rose Motif and Iris Motif Welcome Mat

Dard Hunter Arts & Crafts welcome mats are 100% natural fiber embedded into heavy rubber backing with raised flocked design. The Rose and Stem design mat was inspired by the Dard Hunter classic design for many Roycroft publications including A Message to Garcia. The Iris design mat was inspired by the Dard Hunter 1906 design for the book Justinian and Theodora.
