Skip Chalfant is the sole proprietor of H.L. Chalfant Antiques, dealing in fine early American antiques. Born and raised in historic West Chester, PA, Skip developed a love for antiques from his parents. Upon completing his college education and teaching for a short time, Skip began working for Philip Bradley Antiques in Downingtown, PA in 1969. After more than 13 years in the profession, Skip opened his own shop in 1982 in the very same town he was raised.

When Skip is not pursuing and selling antiques he is giving back to the community and profession that has provided him with so much. In addition to public lectures, Skip is a former president and board member of the Antiques Dealers Association of America and former member of the board of the Chester County Historical Society in West Chester, PA. He is still active in each of these organizations.
When he is not immersed in his profession you can find Skip on a race car track, diving in 100 feet of tropical water or enjoying the company of his family and pets.
