This lady is an amazing trove of historical information and that is why I love it. Julie knows what these things are, their provenance and the detailed history behind each piece. She is an expert in the field and farmhouse style antiques is what Julie eats, sleeps and breaths, 24/7. And the inventory! I honestly don't know how she constantly finds such incredible items. Every time I stop by, it seems like 1/3 of the store is stuff I hadn't seen before. Over the years I have bought a table, some stoneware and many a fist full of silverware (and she has a TON of it). She has an absolutely gorgeous cabinet that I drool over every time I am there, but I just don't have the room for it sadly. Trust me, you'll love the store, don't listen to the Karen's. And yeah, if you break something she'll probably get testy with you, I know I would. So my advice? Don't go around picking up and breaking things that say "PLEASE do not touch!". LOL!

We purchased close to $1,000 worth of antiques from Arthur Pappas and Mainstreet Antiques through…read morean auction. Approximately $100 of that (after taxes and his commission) was a small cabinet which was either willfully misrepresented in the description or accidentally misrepresented. When we showed up to pick it up, we found it covered in mold (see the photos). He had listed it as in "Good Condition" with no photos showing the actual condition of the cabinet (see screenshots). We showed the item that day to Mr. Pappas who was immediately hostile, asking only "are you serious?" in a huff before storming away--we did not see him again and completed the rest of our pickup. After no refund for a week, I reached out to him via email with photos and he said he would not give any refund, that this level of mold--or just mold in general-- is consistent with the "used furniture" that he offers for sale. Please look at the photos I posted and see if you agree that "good condition" antiques should look like this from a "professional" antique dealer. He kept the cabinet, which he still has. Despite this, he refused to refund our money. Further, while knowing nothing about me, he continued in email replies to cast aspersions on my character in a bizarre way: saying I must be "above cleaning," implying I have an unhappy life, or have a "fear of mold," all of which was extremely unprofessional. Mr. Pappas also knows (or should know) that this is all inaccurate because we purchased other larger pieces of wooden furniture from him, among other items, and were happy with them because they were in the condition represented in their descriptions (though, of course, we would not have purchased them, either, had we known what we were getting into). We disputed the charge with our CC company but they hampered us because they cannot accept photos as part of the complaint process and that was key to showing that the description of the item was deceptive or inaccurate. He wrote in his counterclaim that his photos were not deceptive and accurately showed the condition of the cabinet. You can decide. So, I write this to say BUYER BEWARE of any auctions held by Arthur Pappas or Main Street Antiques / Antiques Center. From his own representations you may not see mold, like my photos, in his description or photos but you SHOULD expect it upon pickup. And also expect a fair amount of abuse from him if you have a problem with that and ask for a refund. Best to just avoid this business. This part of the state is full of antique sellers, and there are far better merchants to give your money to who conduct their business with integrity.

The owners are very knowledgeable and even on their by-appointment days, if you call ahead with a specific need, they'll make sure to help you with your request. I am not allowing myself to buy too much else or I'd spend far too much time in the other side of the shop--if you're looking for one-of-a-kind items for your house or refinished/renewed furniture, though, that's something to definitely check out.

Rather than gouge the patron as do so many of the hoity-toity antiques shops in Woodbury, Tillie's prices are reasonable and equitable. Beautiful items! Heartbroken!

Well, an amendment and a reprieve: Brocante Antiques is gone from Tillie's, but Sue, Albie, Ro, and Ann will continue to offer beautiful items until the end of the year.

The woman who helped us out at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. The store was clean, unlike some that can seem dusty or musty. They have a wide variety of items: jewelry, small furniture, wall art, silver, china, Waterford, Limoge boxes ect. The prices were very reasonable for the items and they even had a sale going on - everything was either 20 or 50% off! My sister bought a beautiful serving set in perfect condition that came to $32, and when she researched it on E-bay later, it was selling for $150! I'd definitely take another trip to this store if I'm ever looking for a unique household item or redecorate!

Oh really? If you're actually looking for museum quality antiquities, I would suggest going to Jeffrey Tillou Antiques up in Litchfield instead.
