What clients say about Branford Antiques in Branford Township (CT)
My adult children discovered this store while I was next door rehearsing a wedding I was part of next door at Bill Millers Castle & they had time to kill. They, and I, have been several times since and have never left empty handed. The space is beautifully curated and the staff I’ve encountered have been extremely knowledgeable and friendly. On my second visit I was having trouble finding something I had seen on my first visit but couldn’t purchase until I was there alone. The staff spent so much time looking for, and eventually finding the item with me…then contacted the seller to get me the best deal they could. I’ll definitely be back, even though it’s quite a hike for me. Totally worth the drive the 90 minute drive…If you’re close, take advantage of that!
Very friendly they go out of their way to show a commitment to customer service.great selection of items very knowledgeable and professional about items.gem of branford highly recommend
Absolutely fabulous antique store with quality, historic items, a must stop in Connecticut if you love antiques!!! And the owners are very kind and helpful!
The place has some wonderful pieces that are very eclectic. You might find some African fertility idols, next to theatre posters from Yale, which are across the display from a knights of columbus sword. It truly does have a wonderful collection, however the price points do not seem to have to have consistency. An original art piece from a local artist might be a $125 dollars which is fair, but across from it a framed newspaper comic of Garfield from the mid 00s is also $125. As others have said negotiations might be the way to do business in this but they do not seem to have rhyme or reason.
As for customer service, they seem to be hit or miss and make an immediate assessment when you walk in the door. I was ignored, which I do not mind since they did have the type of piece I was looking for but another customer was followed throughout her time in the store. If I want service, I should either put on a suit or put on a Rolex.
Pros: Great selection
Cons: Inconsistent pricing and employee attentiveness
A fantastic antiques/art gallery center with a tremendous inventory. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the owner is a gentleman offering heirlooms and estate jewelry in showcases filled with treasures. I am a client and a patron of the arts.
The selection and quality of pieces is TOP NOTCH. The owners have great taste which is reflected in their themed displays. I do think their prices are a bit high so don't be afraid to negotiate.
Felt very un welcomed by the female employee . We felt that we were being judged and watched . I’ve purchased merchandise in the past and did not have such negative experience . Not sure what having money looks like , but definitely will not be back given treatment by the older female employee . The energy was very disturbing and for that reason we decided to leave and will definitely NOT BE BACK !
There is not enough amazing things I can say about this place absolutely wonderful products from the past beautiful conversation with staff and antiques that are from all over the world. Amazing. Just amazing.
I emailed and called to find information on a collection I am trying to add on to. After marginal correspondence, I stopped by the shop. It has a lot of everything ! Mini canons to fertility statues to furniture but alas not old currencies.
Love coming here. The staff is so friendly. Always something new. I’ve bought art (very affordable!) and a fantastic desk. Love their lighting and rug selection. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing. Possibly the best antique store in Connecticut. Fantastic inventory of antique jewelry, art, furniture and the list could go on. Prices reflect the top quality but don’t let that deter you from checking out this gem in Branford. You are likely to fall for at least a couple of pieces they have. The brothers that run the business are great to talk with and are true lovers of beauty.
They hover over their customers and watch as you peruse their merchandise.
There is a general feeling of distrust and I would have purchased some items. But the aura was so pretentious and distrusting that we decided to leave.
My girlfriend loves her Antique Ruby ring I got her for valentine’s Day I think it was very reasonably priced and the gentleman that helped me was very nice! Thanks for all the help!!
Beautiful inventory, poor customer service. I had passed by the store many times and decided to stop in today to browse. Not once was I greeted or even acknowledged by the gentleman working there. I could understand while he negotiated a transaction, but once those customers left he chose to do business with someone that came in to solicit to redo his business cards. Shame, there are stunning pieces of jewelry in the cabinets, would have loved to suggest to my husband to shop there for an anniversary gift.
Loved this shop..they had differant vendors i want to say 25. Each space had unique treasures...from furniture to jewelry to cute vintage pocketbooks...i love walking around and seeind all the things from all differant era's...i told my friend just think eaxh piece has a story...every table has seen happy time difficult times and its all still there made with great craftmanship...thinds today are not made like they used to be...i know your reading rhis and thinking oh its someone who works there but truly im just a peraon who walked in one day when i had an extra hour between doctors appointments and found a gem...the women who works there is the nicest lady and is extremely helpful...go check out this place its awesome!
Very nice customer service. The store is like stepping into a museum; put all together very nicely. Everything is presented in a professional setting. All items in great condition.
