Basically a first floor of a house 🏠, but, I really appreciated the AC! Music 🎵 related collectables were what stood out to me while looking around. I watched an inexpensive version of "Antique Roadshow" as the man 👞 behind the counter researched items and seemed quite knowledgeable about antiques. Very friendly service.
Update: August 2025; I had a good 👍 time exploring and finding old Beatles vinyl albums. I had a chance to speak 🗣️ to the owner and he told me that he keeps selling out on Beatles memorabilia.
Only issue, I think 🤔 thier selection of comic books are overpriced. There in good condition, but, they don't have anything that might attract a collector's, not the Marvel villain from the comics or movie 🎥, interest. Probably inflation driving the prices.
If you are into antiques, or collecting vinyl albums, stop in. See what you think 🤔!
If you want to experience the best in class of antiques and vintage, then this is your place. Don't waste your time at other so-called vintage shops. Every item in this store is carefully curated by a knowledgeable dealer who offers some of the rarest in pop culture, MCM, and turn-of-the-century oddities. Fairly priced, and wow, what an experience! Step back in time and visit. You will not be sorry.
Love this store! It's always on our "walking around Portsmouth" route. The owner is always friendly and helpful with a great energy to share. So many interesting things to appreciate. Pricing ranges from valuable antiques to catchy thrift. Today, I scored a functional art piece that I'm totally enamored with!
Absolutely love this hidden gem of a place. Super friendly owner who was wonderful to chat with. Very reasonably priced cool items ranging from jewelry, records, home decor, clothing etc. I've lived here all my life and never went here until a friend was in town. It's now one of my favorites after only 1 trip!
Over Priced and rude cashier. Changed the price of an item exorbitantly after making a small comment about somthing being too pricy for me. Also made comment about changing my mind about a few items while still looking around. Too eager for a sale, and I've never had such a poor experience at an Antique store. They used to be such nice people there.
Absolutely amazing place! All the antiques were interesting to see, and they all seemed to be affordable for what you’re getting! We ended up getting a great deal on a license plate which was very nice of the owner to give us a discount. Be sure to stop by here!
Great selection, friendly owner who went above and beyond when I went back to his store to get help opening the item I bought from him a few days prior! It is a must visit the next time you're in the Strawberry Banke area of Portsmouth!
Great selection, shop owner was very friendly and welcoming. Prices were fair on all the items as well. Bought one thing while I was there. I will definitely be returning.
Wide range of things, super nice owner. My partner and I found a super old mass market copy of game of thrones that was very cool (and funny). Definitely recommend(:
Nice variety of things to browse. But no clocks (my obsession from years back - which still draws me to antique stores on occasion - based in my 'Late-since-I-was-eight' reputation of old).
BTW, photos are of some of my remaining old faves, some working, others not.
First time in. Within 5 minutes I found a few things to purchase. Large assortment of items from jewelry, clothing, comics, and more. Owner is very nice as well.
We absolutely loved visiting this living history museum, many buildings over 300 years old. It was unbelievable!
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the restrooms in the Visitor's Center were nice and clean. It was a very reasonable admission price for the experience.
This is a wonderful place for families and children too. We loved Charles, an older gentleman, who was at one of the houses to explain the history to guests. He was extremely knowledgeable, very impressive! There were several other staff, whose names escape me, who were also very knowledgeable.
Over the years, I've always enjoyed going into this shop when in Portsmouth.
It has a great mix of really cool and original stuff!
Dave has always been a fair guy to deal with both buying and selling...
Awesome little spot! If you love history, then this is definitely worth stopping in and taking a look at the many fascinating pieces in here. They have some really well preserved vintage clothes that were really cool to look through, but also many unusual items to do with local history. My husband and I stopped in after exploring the town, and got a lovely little pendant for a very reasonable price, and had some friendly conversation with the owner as well, who made us feel very at home. Sometimes locals can be kind of defensive around travelers, but the shopkeeper was super nice and inquisitive, and really was just a pleasure to interact with. The shop was easy to navigate, and was quite service dog friendly. Cheers for running such a lovely shop!
My first trip to New England and I wanted a special momento of the trip. Strawberry Banke Antiques was delightful. David was very helpful, and willing to negotiate a better price on a captain's writing desk. I am so enamored by this antique piece of New England history. In addition, I purchased a glass negative. Can anyone give me information about the lighthouse please?
Thank you David for helping me find my new treasures.
