Not overly impressed. Lodge cast iron in fair condition was priced like perfect Wagner or Griswold, for starters. An employee told me I could ask the owner what he would take, but to be honest, overpricing one item made me question everything else I saw, wondering how overpriced it may be. read more

Very fun place to explore. Lots of history to look at. Staff was helpful and friendly.

I enjoy the selection of products at the store. The owner, not so much. I've gone in several times. Each time the owner was unpleasant to be around. The most recent time, he and several customers were chatting at the main counter. I received no greeting. He however followed me upstairs and asked what I was looking for. It seemed as he was trying to rush me out of the building. His staff are friendly however. read more

Duane's is a unique antique shop with antiques from all over, not just Anchorage. There is a lot of Alaskan Native art in the entryway much of which is under lock and key. There are other areas with old tools, toys, and then furniture upstairs. There were also old paintings and unique pieces like the chuck wagon pantry and the ouija board table. Neat stuff that appears to be organized well. The staff are eager to give a history of many of the items and help if necessary. Cool place. read more

See all

I stopped here last year, and purchased three Native American baskets. There was a basket I regretted not buying so when I travelled to Alaska this year I returned to Duane's to buy it. Miraculously, It was still there! It still had the same price tag on it for $175. As I was checking out, the owner said the basket was mismarked and raised the price to $400 (a steal, he said). I did not buy it at the new price. I will never return to this place. Very disappointed. :( read more

Had a great visit at this store. Large store with an upstairs area and second building. Staff was very friendly also!

If you wanted to search for antiques in a furniture sense, and not a 1950s ceramic Mickey Mouse sort-of way, this is the place for you! A very large showroom with high quality furniture from the 18th to 20th centuries. They are next door to the Alaska Auction house, so they probably get some of their inventory from there, and they also store furniture that's waiting to be picked up from the auction house. So don't assume absolutely everything is for sale; check for a price tag :) Here's a list: Victorian stained glass windows Doors Vanities Dining Tables Occasional tables Bed frames, wood and metal Roman architectural columns Trunks **lots** of chairs commodes Hall Entry tables and more.... Staff was nice and helpful. I didn't read the tags on every item, but they actually had a door from the 1780s and a large wardrobe from the 1760s. Really really cool, considering you know somebody in a hoop skirt once had it grace their home. read more

Duane's Antique Market - Antiques Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Wow what a collection of items to choose from. If you are looking for a unique gift this is the place to go. As a collector I frequently check out what is new over there. You never know what you will find. read more

The merchandise is wonderful for the most part. However even when there are pieces that needs lots of structural repair the prices are outrageous. Plus Duane and his wife are rude, crass and greedy. Duane didn't honor the price he quoted for an item when I went back five days later. He wanted nearly two hundred dollars more than he quoted me. My distinct impression is they couldn't care less about all customer's because they have enough customer's who have the financial means to pay him whatever he wants. I always make sure neither he nor his wife are around before I'll even go into that store. I loath greedy people. read more

Great spot! Lots pf crazy walrus skulls n baleen. A little pricey but nice folks. Hard to track down but worth it. read more

Duane's Antique Market - Antiques Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I always enjoy going to Duane's! As someone who grew up in the Southern part of the US where antique stores are plentiful, it was a little bit shocking to me when I moved up here to discover that Alaska didn't really have a TRUE antiques store - that is, until I found Duane's! The things they sell are genuine, high quality antiques - with a great mixture of Alaskana and Native artwork thrown in. You need at least an hour to browse through everything. I enjoy the owners and staff as well, they're easy going and will work with you. I regularly attend their auctions and have for several years, I have a blast there and get some great stuff. Duane's is a special place that really adds a lot to Anchorage. Stop in there before hitting downtown gift shops or galleries if you're looking for real Alaskan art or souvenirs, you'll be glad you went! read more

Love this place! They import antique furniture from all over Europe and the US. The furniture you'll find there is high quality and reasonably priced. Duane also sells stained glass doors. These are an interior designers dream! Let the light in and maintain some privacy: perfect. Roman columns, sconces, metal gates and nautical pieces are also great finds for unique interiors. They also have two super cute schnauzers. read more

went in with my dad in august. was immediately greeted with hostility from the man that worked there. the first thing asked us why we had masks on. obviously we replied that it was personal preference. we began to look at the items the store had for sale and were surprised to see outrageously expensive prices for cheap, run down junk. (and we're from LA, where antique stores are quite pricey) went upstairs to look around and saw a gigantic movie poster with swastikas and nazi imagery. As someone who practices judaism, this was disturbing and shocking to see displayed largely in the back of the upstairs area. read more

I came in for the first time the other day after having passed this place many times over the years. I will never be able to afford anything in here, but I liked how the stuff was all laid out. There were these antique glass door knobs for $65 that I would have liked in my house, but alas I will never spend that much on door knobs. The owner was nice, courteous, and affable. He travels around buying stuff for this store. I will come again to peruse, but not to buy. read more

This store is literally my favorite store in Anchorage. Last time I went to the antique shop I was "killing" 45 minutes until the viewing hours for the auction house opened. I got so engrossed in every special & exotic thing I looked at, before I knew it it was noon & time to go next door. The first time I came here I purposefully came alone without any of my kids...and I wandered around for over 3 hours happy as a pig in mud. I wanted everything I saw! It was so hard to choose just a few things but I widdled my lust down to four or five items & vowed to come back as soon as I could! I cannot recommend this special place enough. The selfish part of me wants to keep it secret! But I love & respect antique treasure lovers from far & wide too much to not share to adventure of this place. Both local Alaskans & tourists from the lower 48 & abroad will be very happy they chose to shop here! If you are only in town for a short while would recommend absolutely putting Duane's on your list & if you are local; this incredible shop will become a weekly addiction! The employees are so friendly & kind, the owners are often there & incredibly helpful & if you are a dog lover you will be blessed with kisses & love from the on site doggy family!! read more

My favorite place to visit every time I go to Anchorage. Very unusual authentic Alaskan items. Many very old. Duane is a wealth of information. He has true Alaskan made items plus antiques from around the world. I always have interesting finds there. The staff is friendly and courteous. Easy to locate. read more

Haven't been by in a while but when I did I could not believe how high the prices had become. There are some neat antiques but most of the furniture is not in good condition and the prices were so outrageous, my friend and I agreed we won't ever come back. I have no idea who who be silly enough to pay these prices but they clearly have never heard the saying about fools and their money... read more

I absolutely loved the store and have purchased several items in the past. One item in particular I bought a few years ago was an Antique Oriental screen (room divider). Since things have changed in my life and I felt the need to sell this I called Duane's to see if they would purchase it back for the same price I bought it. I told them I have the receipt from when I bought it. They told me they couldn't possibly buy it for that price. So, with that said (even though I thoroughly enjoyed shopping there and the staff were very friendly) I will NEVER buy from Duane's again! read more

Owner is a jerk, unprofessional and does not honor quoted prices. Purchased some items when he wasn't there from a very nice employee, was interested in another item without a price and she called Duane for price. Decided to go back when Duane was there to to buy the item and he gave price that was $300 more than he quoted over the phone two days before! When we asked why the price was more than two days prior, he told us we should have bought it two days prior. Felt that he was taking advantage because it was obvious we wanted it. He had an arrogant attitude. Don't visit when he is there, the prices are higher. read more

The lady who answered the phone was courteous and helpful, as was another man I had spoken with before. However, Duane's partner - his wife- was very rude when I asked her about possibly submitting my antique items for auction. I can understand if they cannot accept certain pieces for whatever reasons, but this can be conveyed to the potential client in a professional manner. This woman was definitely not customer-oriented and should not be talking with people who are interested in selling through Duane's Antique Market. I will not be contacting their business again, either to buy or to sell. read more

Love this place!! Amazing selection of European over the top antiques. Would spend my last dime in this place. Staff is very nice and I am in heaven whenever here. Prices are steep, but well worth the quality and originality of the pieces. I have several pieces from here and am wanting several more! This is one of my favorite spots! read more
