What clients say about Industrial Treasures in St. Charles (IL)
This might be the coolest, most unique store I have ever found! It's labeled as an antique store, and sure they have some - but to me and my friends, it's a magical art store! The store itself is a collection of some of the most random and yet highly refined items I have ever seen in person (coming from someone who lives going to flea markets, obscure shops and conventions). But more so than the stuff - it's the people who make this place pure magic and truly a freaking blast to just be there!
The design and flow of the shop is insane, it's like time traveling in and actually being in a spot in time and niche for a few minutes before being taken on a journey to another place, location, and time just a couple feet to the side. The thing that always impresses me every time we go is that there is so much to look at and admire, I find myself falling in love with things I normally wouldn't have a passion for, but alas, I have some really cool things now in my house thanks to Industrial Treasures.
There is a darn good reason why people make whole-day trips from out of state just to come here! It's that cool!! And I'm lucky enough to live within 10 minutes!! I wish I had known about it sooner, but the good news is - I know about it now and I want everyone else to, too!
I love Industrial Treasures, and every time I'm there I see not just one or two new things - more like 1000 that were not there on my previous visit! Anyone looking for that unique piece (including lots of framed art, I might add) for their home will find it here. Plenty of vintage/antique lighting options, plus everything from glass lantern slides to books to jewelry to cast iron pieces to postcards. Magazines, sports memorabilia, cups and saucers, signage, ephemera, vintage toys, glassware, collectibles, stoneware, furniture, even barn ventilators. If you can think of it they probably have one (or a dozen or more). Affordable prices across the board. If you haven't been there - check them out ASAP! One of my favorite businesses in St. Charles!
BEST antiquing out there. I do a lot of thrifting and antiquing but this spot is maybe my favorite ever. Really nice staff, TONS of stuff of all shapes and sizes, suits all price ranges too. Very reasonable pricing across all items, big and small.
I stumbled upon this store with a very normal google search for hooks that hang on floor joists..... And found a very abnormal store full of sometimes bizarre and wonderful items ranging from $.50 to $6000. I want to tell all my friends about it but at the same time want to keep it for myself, yet here I am. Enjoy!
Wow, its like a museum! But gosh is it expensive. I'm sure lots of the items in there are collector grade or rare, but there's no way I can bring myself to pay for the majority of their stock unless I found a white-whale of a find. If you're a collector, this is the place for you! If you're a normal person looking for a vintage steal, I doubt you'll find it here.
This place is very unique for the area. There is something available for every price point. For example, I bought a rodium wishbone ring for 5.00 It hasn't irritated my finger in the year I've had it. Magpie Gemstones is located inside the shop. Don't overlook this nook! Crystals and AAA+ grade bead strands. Bracelets and more made by local artists. I saw some very cool vintage Coca-Cola machines and memorabilia and a vintage motorcycle (Indian?) that I wanted to ride right down Indiana Avenue:-) There are also upscale items for every area of your home and a baby section. There were coloring sheets and crayons on a small table which a child happily drew at while her mom shopped. Very well thought out! Wendy and other staff are polite and knowledgeable.
I recently needed help with some antiques my parents had collected. As the Admin of a FaceBook, Small Business Advertising Illinois group, I thought looking for help in my own group would be a great place to start.
Industrial Treasures was the ONLY business that responded without having to call multiple times. In the end I did business with the Industrial Treasures Team. They're super friendly and accommodating! They're offer was reasonable and fair. Could I get more money? Maybe...but then I'd have to store everything and it could take years.
Their location is a bit out of the way but extremely unique. There are Treasures from nearly every period and for every style. If you're looking for that unique thing you have to have...give them a visit!
Aptly named store — industrial warehouse full of unique treasures! Vintage toys, holiday decorations, home decor, funky artwork, old tools, etc. If you’re looking for something, anything, they probably have it. If you are a woodworker, designer, or artist, they have inspiration for you. Inside you’ll also find Magpie Gemstones with amazing crystals and metaphysical items.
This shop is wonderful! I am in NY and found my original & new (but no longer in production) faucet I was searching all over for. Just as I was running out of time (contractor getting upset at no faucet so late in the remodel), I was surprised to find my treasure here! Diane is amazing to work with. She responded quickly to all my messages and shipped right away. Customer service is top notch, price was reasonable, and it arrived well packaged and exactly as described. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely shop here again. Thank you!
Appropriately named, Industrial Treasures is a quite large treasure trove of unique, one-of-a-kind items that most likely will not be found anywhere else. My first purchase was a fully clothed French mannequin. What an unexpected surprise! I have looked at mannequins for years, but this one was authentic and delightful. Every time I return to Industrial Treasures, there is something new to amaze me. Diane and Ken are such lovely and fun people. I highly recommend this shop for those who like the unusual.
The most unique and fun place to shop in the Fox Valley! As they say “A museum you can shop in”, and I’ll add many types of museums. The store starts with a full rock shop with hundreds of different gemstones, crystals, meteors, and more, there is antique and vintage furniture, the most epic bar made from the rear end of a boat, vintage nautical equipment, a huge doll collection, Americana and advertising signs, glasses, and rare vintage branded items, unique 3D printed toys, fidgets, dragons, wall art, and you can even buy a brand new toilet! Too much to list! It’s worth the visit and a return visit because the inventory changes regularly. Highly recommend
Met the proprietor at an estate sale and found out their store was nearby and super thankful I struck up that conversation. Beautiful items and arranged organically. Loved every moment in the store. Wish I could buy everything. Some of the prices were fair, some were a bit off the charts. Had a fun time viewing each and every section. Seems like a wonderful stop if helping to rehab a home, or looking for props for a set.
My mouth dropped The moment I walked into this place. I was overwhelmed with all of the cool fines that they have their all the different treasures and furniture and art and industrial tables I was blown away. It’s a vintage store with an amazing collection of artwork lighting, antiques, building materials, tools, machinery, they had a huge collection of BARBIES!!! Love this place!
Meh. Carefully curated, cleaned, and polished flotsam and jetsam of mid-century industry. All priced as if it were art and arranged in piles of intentional disarray.
Truly outstanding! This store is a museum!
The best part is that everything is for sale!!!
Definitely a place everyone must check out when in the St. Charles area!
They have a wonderful assortment of antiques, vintage items, historical pieces and original artwork. The owners/employees were eager to share background information about the goods!
