This my go to place for any home furnishings. Most of what is sold here is 70+ years old and was built to last. They are open Saturdays 12-5pm and by appointment other days. This place is overwhelming at first, but Gene, the owner is very knowledgable and can guide you to what you are looking for.
Gene rewired a 1910 pole lamp and helped me find THE perfect lamp shade for it. And we also found a glass shade for a 1930’s pole lamp that was a little difficult to find a perfect fit for. Gene is very knowledgeable about lamps in particular. But the whole building is a trip into the past. Gene can tell you all about his inventory. It’s like taking an historical field trip rather than just shopping for antiques.
You will find what you're looking for here, because Gene has everything! He'll let you explore and look around, without hovering, but he's available to answer any question you have. If he's got it, it's for sale. Call ahead to make an appointment, because the times posted may not be accurate.
If you like high quality antique furniture and goodies, then this is the place to be. I am definitely going to have to make multiple trips in order to check everything out!
Said “Open” on web. Was there at about 11:30 am and walked around till I saw hours, then called the number. Gene answered and said “be right there to open.” Then we walked around a two-floor maze of amazing estate sale items pretty well organized considering the quantity of stuff. Yes it was dark and dusty. If that bothers you don’t come. If that says “intriguing mystery” to you, come on ahead and enjoy - & watch your step. This is a warehouse, not a theme park. Personally I find antique places that are overly clean and neat are not priced well. Anything thing I gathered and asked Gene how much was met with a fair price. He also was very knowledgeable about history of unusual objects and how to adapt items or find an alternative fix for something missing a piece. We will be back w a floor lamp from Brimfield missing socket/glass shade (huge selection) and a chandelier from Italy to be rewired. We had a great treasure hunt! Thanks for the ruler Gene!!
First 20 minutes in this place and did not see a soul. When someone finally showed up “Gene”…We introduced ourselves as resellers and the first thing he said was I don’t know if We will be able to sell you anything. I understand that this is an auction house so somethings may not be for sale to the public. Understandably there are no prices on anything so the store has to be attended in order to make a sale. The first item I brought to Gene‘s attention was a piece of dichroic art glass and he asked for a price it was way above retail (I assume to scare me off) so I left. If you don’t want to sell to the public why do you have your doors open?
bad experience in this business a lot of dirt little light that you can't walk because you can't see the hallway apart objects interrupt the path myself I scraped my arm with a sword that was in the middle because of the little or zero light that exists in short I do not recommend a visit, they can come out full of dust or with a fracture due to the disorder that exists until you can see Rats moving
Definitely call before stopping by - the hours listed on here aren’t accurate. Store isn’t very organized or well kept, but the inventory wasn’t terrible. Lots of cool lamps/light fixtures!
Lots and lots of great antiques. Several impressive chandeliers with all the crystals. Hard to find items are plentiful. Friendly owner. Must see to believe the quality of inventory. Will
Definitely shop here when back this way!
Definitely a place to come and walk around for an hour or so.! So many old items to look at and find hiding on a shelf somewhere. Come check it out someday!.
