Amazing owner and antiques. Been going here for years, very trusted and highly oriented on customer service. She is a a real asset to Niles community. read more

Met Norma Jean at this wonderful antique place and her service made the experience extra special.

Terrible service. She sells hot garbage for such an expensive price. Wanted to take a picture of some goods I wanted to see if my wife wanted it as well and then the store lady goes ballistics claiming I'm taking pictures to recreate her stuff to sell for myself. Go see a doctor. read more

Les Belles is the absolute BEST antique shop in all of Niles! The owner Norma is the most professional and knowledgeable dealer who has been in the business for decades. The shop is high end and offers a variety of rare and valuable furniture, lighting, jewelry, and decor. Anyone who is well versed in antiques would take one look inside and realize this place is the real deal. I highly recommend if you are a serious antique collector looking to acquire a unique and worthwhile piece. read more

If all antique stores were as wonderful as Les Belles, I would be spending a lot more time browsing and perhaps spending money to redo my house with some beautiful vintage pieces. Although I prefer stark modern décor, I did see things like a couple of vintage bags that really appealed to me. I also like vintage china and silver, there were a few nice serving pieces that I liked but would never use. When I first walked by the store the nice widow display caught my eye. When I opened the door the pleasant sound of 1940's jazz was playing and the hanging glass was sparkling. I walked by cabinets filled with pretty things. I did see a couple of things that really appealed to me. Whenever I buy something now it has to be useable. I just could not think of where I would go that I could use a vintage purse from the 40's or the one from the 20's so I passed them by, both were priced around $200 and were too expensive for my collection. read more

Interesting my close family friends have been well known antique dealers in the bay area for years. Being around the business 30 years I had NEVER heard of this place, so I am not sure how people half way around the world have. Nor, have I ever heard of these supposed flocks of people who make pilgrimage to Fremont of all places, California People with only one post on here giving this place 5 stars is kinda odd. The two times I have been in this store (since I moved to Fremont 5 yrs ago) the woman working there did not offer to help or even say hello. And we did not hear about this place thru word of mouth, it was by driving around the area. You better be careful, you never know who walks into your shop isn't ready to unload a bundle in your store, you can attract more ants with honey. Take this post for what it is, if you are the owner reading this, instead of getting defensive or having friends post, try fixing the problem. read more

Les Belles is a warmly-lit, cozy little spaced stuffed with treasures. Antique and vintage chandeliers hang from the ceilings, fainting couches line the walkways, prints of lovely ladies hang on the walls, and cases are filled with interesting items to peer in at. I love art deco jewelry, and I found a engagement ring and wedding band set that I loved. It was my birthday, so I bought it! It was very well taken care of, polished and clean, not like the vintage jewelry in a lot of the "antique" shops (some of them are just glorified junk stores) on Niles Boulevard. It cost less than any wedding ring set with comparable stones that you can buy new. The lady working there was knowledgeable and very warm and friendly. This is one of my favorite stores to browse when I go to Niles. There are a lot of pieces there that flit across my thoughts in quiet moments. (The art deco chandelier! The Erte-esque lamp! The tiny framed prints of 18th century ladies!) read more

The woman working this store is an absolute curmudgeon. Apparently she just enjoys having an antique store full of over priced goods. She certainly doesn't want to deal with anyone who walks in inquiring about the pieces. I heard her being rude to a customer (she couldn't understand her accent and didn't attempt to be polite about it) so I decided to leave when a I hear my husband, who also has an accent, ask a question and she was down right nasty. It really brings down all the other shops which, may not have the same ambiance but have way better service. We took our money there. read more

I went to this store today with my boyfriend. Now my boyfriend enjoys history and antiques. We see a trip to Niles as a step back in history to enjoy artifacts of the western, victorian, noveau, and deco age. So today, we went to Les Belles. Now when I normally hit antique stores, it's glorified browsing. I can't afford any of this stuff. Although I'd love to redecorate my house to resemble some 1930s, flapper domain. It will never be fiscally in the cards/ The first thign I noticed when I walked in here, was the atmosphere. the `1940s jazz music, the fact that you're stepping back in time, and everything else make it a gorgeous place. The array of colors, crystals, and everything else make it one of my favorite places in Niles. If you can afford it, I recommend purchasing a piece here. But if you want the ambience of what an antique store should look like, look no further than Les Belles. read more

Suan stayed late, had problem just sitting on the floor with me while we looked through tons of perfume bottles. She kindly educated me on manufacturers I was unfamiliar with and then helped me find two beautiful bottles to purchase. On top of all that, her store is filled with tons of higher end antiques that she sells at a great value! Don't pass her store up when visiting the town of Niles. read more

What a lovely & quaint shop. Walking In there takes you back to the 1920s. Wonderful oldies playing in the background really adds a quaint touch. Absolutely gorgeous antiques and beautiful relics from the past. I could literally spend hours in there uncovering there many hidden treasures. Very warm and knowledgeable service. Sue Anne & Norma I believe are very sweet and friendly. I really appreciate all their help. A Niles gem! read more

It's nice to go into a shop like this and see that the owners aren't just people playing at a hobby but who actually have a lot of knowledge. Victorian is not my cup of tea, but the owner knew a great deal about many antique eras and was able to answer my questions. read more

This is a cut above most antique stores. Many quality unusual items displayed with humor and style in a small amount of space.The lady was very friendly, even sent one of her clients to drive by my new home listing in Historic Niles. I see where they are having their 35 th anniversary Celebration April 14 & 15 , 2012 with Live Jazz, Music , food and some dressing the 20's flapper style. read more

Went by there today as they are listed as antiques appraisers. I was told very firmly by the person there that the do NOT do appraisals. Unfortunate, as I have many pieces of furniture. Just correcting the listing. read more

stumbled on this place by accident and my wife and I found the perfect piece we have been looking for for our dining room! the owner was very knowledgable about victorian antiques and is now searching for another piece we have been on the hunt for our home...thank you Les Belle! read more

Was shopping in Niles and came across Les Belles. Can't say enough about the sales lady and her knowledge of antiques. I have currently made two purchases from them, and plan to make more in the future. Thank you Les Belles....the best shop in town! read more

i never write reviews but i am compelled to share my feelings about les belles antiques. comparing iron dog (which i love) to les belles is like comparing apples to oranges - impossible and totally different. i have been shopping at les belles antiques for over 20 years. whenever i am in the south bay area, i always try and make a trip to niles. through the years i have sent many a friend to visit les belles and all have come back with glowing remarks. the ladies at les belles are truly knowledgeable and gracious. yes, its packed and you can get overwhelmed, but the quality and selection is exquisite and first class. you must take your time shopping - remembering that it is no different than shopping for shoes or clothes. any of the items they have will work in any environment and become a focal point IF you make the right choice. mixing in the unexpected is the key. i hope they keep going for another 20 years!!! read more
