What clients say about RT Facts Design & Antiques in Kent Township (CT)
A fascinating furniture and antique (and more) location in Kent, CT. Their showroom has an amazing college of unique items - outdoor sculptures, tables, chairs and more that will make a statement in your home. Worth going to see the wide range of options, not to mention the custom work they can do. If you are redecorating or building a new home, make the trip.
A stunning, airy, impeccably curated store for important monumental antiques and collected 20th century furniture and decor + their own line of handmade quality furniture. The prices are very high (as they should be in this case).
Do not support this business if you have children. To say I was disappointed with our experience here is an understatement. We entered with two strollers and a well-behaved 4-year-old, were very careful not to bump into anything, yet were met by unfriendly staff who said they were not stroller-friendly and that there was “one way out.” We got the point and immediately left, but we’re incredibly shocked and embarrassed by the lack of accommodation toward families with children. Will be bringing our business elsewhere.
It is like entering a magical world of special toys that bring homes to life. Spacious, modern, eclectic and eccentric RT stimulates the eye mind heart and soul. If you don’t believe me, walk through and see for yourself.
One can get completely lost in RT Facts - in the best way! The vast showroom has almost more than you can see in one visit - and on every visit (go often) there is something fresh and distinctive added to the studio. From antique garden benches and containers to contemporary gesso chandeliers designed by the in-house team, Natalie and Greg set their design store apart with their own brand of quirky chic. Artfully curated and displayed, the eclectic furniture, lighting and home accessories are arranged to feel like an antique salon or a cabinet of curiosities. RT Facts is the secret you need to make your home and garden look like got first pick of every estate sale and fabulous flea market ('cuz they really did)!!
Natalie and Greg have an incredible collection of beautifully bold and unique pieces that set them apart from so many design and antique shops. Their galley has endless displays that are exciting and inspiring.
I moved to the area over ten years ago and stumbled across R.T. Facts as I drove by the "Shop" space on South Main street and nearly caused an accident ... from the awe of what I saw out in front of the building! - the most magnificent ginormous armillary and giant zinc wall plaques and statues! Since that day I always find the time to stop in and browse through the incredible finds that they have eclectically procured. The additional gorgeous gallery space at 8 Old Barn Rd does wonders in showcasing the talents of the design and craftsmanship of their locally made furnishings - tables, mirrors and lighting mixed with the rare and unique antiquities and modern finds. When I needed a really unique architectural piece in a recent 18th century renovation project - I knew exactly where to find what I was looking for - and I DID! Thank you :-)
Simply Excellent!
They are super courteous and go out of their way to help you.
I think the best online service I have ever experienced and the item I found is extraordinary.
I’m a a total fan now and a dedicated customer.
Hope I get to visit the store one day.
They are the BEST
R. T. Facts in Kent curates a truly unique collection of anything you might consider art. You’ll find most anything you can imagine, and even things you couldn’t imagine, in this expansive 8,000 square foot barn space. They have things like nowhere else in the world. You’ll find pieces from all over the world, from different time periods, and from different medium. Most of their items emphasize either ‘found’ or ‘designed.’ Some of the things that caught my eye: a 19th Century continental library ladder, a handmade birch bark canoe, a 19th Century Chinese cast iron tub, a fully reconstructed cow skeleton painted in all white, a 19th Century carved wood life-size track horse display, an antique rosato marble bathtub, and a monumental carved wood clock sculpture. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area. Even if you have no intention of buying anything, you can marvel at their collection of artifacts.
