This is an exceptional antique experience. Stepping back in time with absolute quality vintage…read moregoods, expertly displayed for a really great shopping experience. This place is huge. Plan to spend some time. Booths are all individual booths where even the structure of each booth is different and unique. Don't rush through or you will certainly miss that "something special" that is "just waiting for you to discover." I found that every booth was beautifully displayed. There is something there for every taste and budget. If you are like me, you will make many return visits as they have new items coming in daily.

If you're looking for vintage or antique glassware this is the place to check out. They also carry…read morea neat selection of hand crafted yard art! Be sure to stop in!

I recently moved to North Carolina from Florida, and after selling off everything, I had to start…read moreover. Kirkman's was a gold mine. I got American Drew furniture for two bedrooms, and Kincaid for the other, and the prices were unbelievably low! I also got a pair of Clayton Marcus swivel rockers for my livingroom. I had shopped ALL of the new furniture stores in the area, as far as Jacksonville and was wondering if my budget was going to leave half my house empty. Kirkman's was a very friendly, welcoming place to shop, and by the end I was wishing I had a few more rooms to furnish! High quality and good taste in everything I saw. I would recommend Kirkman's to anyone looking to beautifully furnish their homes on a budget!

Lots to see, all different booths so prices varied. Cashiers were super friendly and knew when…read moresomething I'd chosen was on sale, so that was nice. They also have a selection of drinks and snacks up front. Highly recommend visiting to browse or look for something specific.

Over priced and obviously catering to the beach, tourist people, pricing the locals out. Everything…read moreis too expensive and the place is full of overprice junk. Would not recommend. The male store owner was ridiculously rude to me when I questioned him about the price. And then he got defensive and said you don't have to buy it. I'll never step foot in that store again and I'm a local and have been going there for years but that was the height oh rudeness.

Always love exploring this store- never know what jewels await! Wide variety of items.read more

I will not be back in to this vendor antique mall. Which I'm sure they won't be upset about either…read more I was ignored from the time I walked in until the time I walked out. I was going to buy something, but learned all I needed to learn when I asked for the bathroom key. They couldn't even acknowledge me as a human, make eye contact, hand me the key, or direct me towards the bathroom. Bathroom was clean, so there was that. I was planning on spending about $150, nothing insane. But after that interaction, I left. These people are rude. I could speculate on why they were, but that would make me no better than them.

I really wanted to buy a couple of things here, but everything was put back because one booth was…read moreselling signs that had the not so funny statement meaning "F$&@ the President." Totally cool that you don't like the current President; I loathed the former President. Yet, I didn't go around saying things such as "F$&@ the President." That is in total poor taste. Plus, if you are trying to sell merchandise, it seems like you might want to be Switzerland. And maybe the loss of my business is made up by all those who support those who say things like "F$&@ the President," but why take that chance? I definitely will not suggest anyone visit this establishment.

Located in a little cove down Middle St., this antique shop offers selective pieces chosen…read morecarefully by the owners. Most of the items here are in glass cases or in the window displays. The larger antiques, like the classic Leather chairs, chandeliers and furniture are along the walls so there is an open spacious feel to this store. The artwork is tastefully displayed. In one corner stands a majestic, cream colored baby grand piano (see pic) which can be yours for a pretty penny. It's striking. In another nook, there's a library of vintage books for sale and the tops of the shelves are lined with Steiff bears and and other collectibles. In the center of the shop is a rack of vintage coats, both men's and women's. And in the other window some lovely jewelry pieces might catch your eye. Most of the prices are reasonable, some are a tad high, but all in all this is a unique antique experience. One of the owners is a writer herself, and her books are also displayed. She and her husband were very helpful and knowledgeable. She informed us that they will also ship items at cost. The outside of the shop is just as inviting as the inside, dotted with planters, flower pots and shells. We left with our bundle neatly wrapped and enjoyed our visit to Downton Antiques.

Wonderful store owner, wonderful gem of an antique store just outside New Bern. I can tell you that…read moreitems are priced fairly, you can always try negotiating if you are buying a lot (I'm not an expert in this practice so... at your own risk ). Good condition pieces, very honest owner about authenticity. If you want a piece of the past (or three) for yourself, do come to this store.
