I have been visiting this shop for almost two years and I love it more each time I stop by. You…read morecan't go wrong visiting historic Front Royal, and this little shop is packed with treasures big and small. The location is near the train depot and easy parking. Make sure you have plenty of time to peruse, because you won't come close to seeing it all on first glance. Make sure to spend some time chatting with the owner, Barb, because she is priceless. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the prices for vintage furniture are fantastic!

I have been shopping at Arleen Brown Antiques since shortly after the store opened…read more The selection is always interesting,and Arleen is very knowledgeable & helpful. Recently I went in to pick up a purchase,and was stopped in my tracks by a classic club chair & ottoman combination I have long been seeking. Arleen Brown Antiques offers a nice mix of furniture,art,tableware (& more) all tastefully displayed.And very fairly priced. If you are furnishing a home,you would do well to come to Front Royal before going to a big box furniture store. P.S. Bring a truck!

I ordered three pairs of beautiful crocheted gloves from Heirloom Emporium. They were perfect to…read morewear with my Civil War attire to a period ball and to wear for a Downton Abbey Luncheon. I searched a lot of websites specializing in Civil War attire but this was the only site that had these gloves. As soon as I placed the order, I emailed Heirloom Emporium and asked how long the order would take. I told them that I wanted the gloves for an upcoming event. Immediately, I received a reply from Cindy that she had sent the gloves out by priority mail. I received the gloves with over a week to spare! The gloves were more beautiful than they were in the photograph. They fit perfectly, and I am very happy with them. I have seen Heirloom Emporium at Remembrance Day in Gettysburg. All the vendors set up every year at the Gettysburg Hotel. Heirloom Emporium always has a wide variety of beautiful items in their booth. The people seemed very nice too. A few years ago, I purchased a nice writing set from them...pens, nibs, etc. in a beautiful box. I always get a lot of compliments on it when I use it in my display at living history events. I will look forward to seeing Heirloom Emporium on Remembrance Day at the Gettysburg Hotel next November. I'm sure I'll find some beautiful period item to buy. In the meantime, if I need something I will simply visit their website.

Incredible selection of high quality antiques and vintage items. Truly, one of the most well…read moreorganized and clean vintage stores I've ever been to. Three floors and many many rooms. Household items, collectibles, jewelry, rugs, and furniture, Glassware, China, fine art, and so much more. The staff was very helpful and kind and didn't hover. I definitely recommend this place. Plenty of parking behind the building. Prices range from very expensive to very affordable, however, a lot of the vendors had sales promotions going on.

When we went inside, there was a lot to see. There are booths where different vendors sell their treasures. We didn't really see much that we were interested in unfortunately. That's pretty unusual for us. The staff also wasn't particularly friendly. No one said anything to us when we walked in and the desk is at the door. That's also unusual. I felt a little underwhelmed but hopefully a visit in will be more promising for someone else.

This is one of the nicest antique shops in Frederick County. Their selection is pretty wide, so…read morethere should be something for everyone. Compared to the other antique shops in the area, Main Street Classics has the best prices I've seen. The value is definitely there. I was looking for vintage vinyl in good condition and wasn't disappointed. They have a nice selection of antique furniture, decorations, and many other items. I'm also a numismatist and wish they had a larger selection of coins and precious metals, but that is a nitpick. I understand that their vendors may rotate periodically. My party was greeted warmly by the ladies at the front. They were helpful and made the checkout process quick and easy.

Pretty nice place! Based on other reviewers, I almost didn't go but am glad I did…read more For context - I'm sort of picky when it comes to antiques. I tend to stick to the Victorian era and prefer the unusual. The photos of candles and 80s stuff don't do it justice. There are plenty of cabinet cards and tin types, large charcoal portraits and pictures in the $20-30 range. Cabinet cards were 6 for $10! I saw a few older dolls at only $50 each. Ended up with a fairly uncommon embalming fluid bottle of all things. There's a booth at the top of the stairs with the lowest prices I've seen in a while for true antiques. It was nicely curated and balanced. My only complaint - and I don't know if this is an issue in the area or what, was the intense security. I really don't like buying when I feel like the shop assumes I'm going to steal. I usually go through stores twice and found what I wanted at second glance. When we checked out a comment was made that they knew we had already seen everything and it made me feel like I was being watched and I felt like the man was looking to see what was in my hands. But who knows, maybe they had a theft issue. Overall a nice shop.

I had a nice conversation with the stores owner about some of the things in his shop and he gave some backstory on things as I would ask. Carl (the owner) is a really awesome dude.
