They had a great selection of wonderful items. They also helped me with a vintage radio I had been looking to acquire for months. This one was in good condition and matched the look I was going for. Everyone was nothing but friendly. I read some of the other reviews, and my experience was the polar opposite of the negative ones.

Robertson's Antiques is located in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea just steps from restaurants and…read moreother shopping. This small quality shop is full of treasures and special, unique pieces that one can add to one's space, or collection. Antiques are generally objects that are close to one-hundred plus years old. Many so called antique stores sell new or retro items, and items from the 80's and before, which are generally termed vintage. Robertson's focuses on fine quality antiques. From small objects such as jewelry, scent bottles, sewing items, to larger items such as chandeliers and table lamps, paintings and artworks in elaborate frames, sterling silver offerings, to large exquisite wood furniture of all types, some with carved gothic or putti heads and/or claw feet. Bronzes of all sizes are scattered throughout the store to add to one's space as a statement piece. This shop is a treasure trove of antiquities and collectibles which are carefully placed for optimal viewing. However, there are a few stairs to access part of the shop which could be problematic for some visitors. The knowledgeable owner, Nick, was a very personable guy with a wonderful sense of humor.

I had to plug in lights and display stands myself to view what they had and they had a standoff attitude when asked for inventory behind counters. The place was a mess and seemed like one of those shops where the owners hoard stuff and sell at insane markups.

I inherited a stamp collection and wasn't sure what to do with it so I went here. The lady was very…read morekind and helpful. My wife and I were the only ones in the shop at the time. The place has been there for many years and they also buy and sell trading cards and buy gold and silver. She did help me with the stamp collection. It was basically considered a beginner's collection. There aren't many stamp collectors anymore so the ones that are around are the ones that are after rare stamps and even though some of the stamps I had were old they are still considered easy to find. I'm glad I went there and am thankful for her insight and the time she spent with us.

Our first time in was due to a beautiful piece of jewelry in the window. BUT what I ended up falling in love with was a beautiful sapphire ring. STUNNING, PERFECT. My husband was a doll and purchased it for me for our anniversary. Since then, we have gone in to peruse, and this last time I just wanted Michael to check the mounting of one of my rings. He not only did so, he cleaned and polished it. AND he let me try on all sorts of baubles. His store is amazing, HE is amazing, he somehow knows intrinsically what you may be interested in and willingly shows you pieces that make you swoon. Great service, beautiful store and amazing selection. LOVE this place, this guy. Totally trust him! GO!

What's New? Located…read morein a 1927-era building that once housed the "Carmel Canning Company warehouse #2," and was granted "Historic Structure" status by the City of Monterey in 1994, one year before the Antique Mall opened in June '95. This place is by far my favorite antique store in the Bay Area, as its 21,000+ sq ft of floor space and two floors are occupied by over 100 different merchants selling everything from modern art and jewelry to old toys and abundant knickknacks. The only issue with this place is the parking situation, which can be a bit of a hassle, especially on weekends. Fortunately, it's a bit removed from the more popular Cannery Row area and on the opposite side of the Aquarium, so while it may be difficult, it's not impossible. Otherwise, come forth and feast your eyes on the treasures to behold. Just make sure you give yourself at least two hours to take it all in, or you're going to miss out on some interesting finds.
