Lovely antique store. Lots of beautiful pieces. The reason I’ve given this a low rating is because it’s so packed and so crowded you can barely move or see anything clearly. Let alone inspect pieces you are interested in without fear of hitting something around you. Furniture is piled on top of each other, cabinets are overflowing, there is lots of stuff on the floor. It’s a cautionary tale! Secondly NOTHING has a price, everything you touch or are interested in, you ALWAYS have to ask and I’m positive the owner just pulls numbers out of a hat at random based on how you look. If it was better organized and with pricing it would be more enjoyable to browse and shop!
Has a wonderful eye, and feel for what is nice. Shopping here is a feast for the eyes with pieces from all over the world and differing price points. A must see shop.
Lots to see. Can't reach most of it though. Everything is just crammed into every inch of open space.
Large sized people will have to walk sideways to get through most spaces.
Disappointed.
Braden River Antiques is amazing and deserves 5 stars. The inside is a feast for the senses, I could spend days wandering through the collection of unique and magical treasures. The owner was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We walked away with a decorative garden sculpture of a stout viking king, still trying to decide on where to put him. Anyone who gives anything less than 5 stars to Braden River Antiques just doesn’t understand or appreciate what they have to offer. We will most definitely be back again and again.
Braden River Antiques was the best experience I’ve ever had at an antique store! The selection of unique & interesting items was endless & so fun to browse. The owner was personable, knowledgeable & a joy to speak with. His shop will be the reason I come back to visit Sarasota sooner than later! I would recommend you run, not walk, to go see this shop of treasures!
This place & other shops in the plaza are delightful and run by the best folks. Enthusiastic about their finds, always share the hidden gems, and half the furniture in our new house is supplied by these guys. Rad shop.
The owner was great to deal with while making a purchase. They shipped the painting which was purchased over fb very quickly. The painting was wrapped so great with care it took over half an hour to unwrap! ?
AMAZING Store PACKED FULL of unique items, antiques and collectibles. The owner was super friendly. He even provided us with a map of other antique shops in the area and recommended a few based on what we are looking for today. Awesome ❤️
All sorts of awesome antiques. Furniture, artwork, etc. Jess the owner is extremely knowledgeable!
Hours sometimes vary but its usually 11-4 Tuesday through Saturday. I suggest giving a quick phone call before you go just to be sure the shop is open.
Sign on door says it should be open on a Wednesday afternoon, but nope, no one in sight. I guess they have too much money and don't need to actually open for business.
really cant even rate it bc no ones ever there to open the place...no matter what time it is...all you can do is really look thru the windows...such a pity...
I came up to this store and was ready to hunt for good deals. Walked up to the door and there's a note. "Summer hours or by chance". Needless to say they were closed even though it said you were open....Not to happy on this one.
You could easily spend hours here. A true treasure hunt. ...Alot of stuff ...alot that is not really easy to see. Lots of painting, furniture, vases, even taxidermy...
I recently purchased 2 mid century era lamps from Jesse at Braden River Antiques and when I was getting ready to leave with the lamps, the owner noticed that the wires on one of the lamps was split. He then rewired it for me on the spot. That is truly amazing customer service! This shop is filled with amazing pieces.
