Company History

Mandarin Antiques & Pianos (Mandarin for short) has been in business at various locations, known by many variations of the name. Howard Welborn started the business in Lakewood, Washington in 1973. Since then, his extensive travels and associations have brought about a wide variety of antique collectibles, statuary, old architectural elements and pianos.

Today, Mandarin has found itself in a new light. While the antiques and furnishings here are primarily Asian, they are combined with a display of both elegant and modern pianos built primarily in the United States. Everything is arranged in an open and attractive setting, inviting leisurely browsing. Come in and visit, or tickle the ivories—no previous experience necessary!

We are located on the edge of Tacoma's art district within a historic building. Built in 1923, it was the home of a Studebaker and Packard auto dealership, the Winthrop Motor Company. It also housed the Hambone eatery in the 1940's.

Melding the past with the future, we provide outstanding sales and service to antique collectors and musicians of discerning taste.
