This spot started on a high for me with a few really unique, quality finds, but among the winding sections filled with hundreds of artifacts, I left with mixed feelings.
While I enjoyed the incredible selection (minus the furniture, there wasn't much of that), variety of antiques, and attention of the staff, I was a bit unsettled by a handful of questionable selections- a literal whip on the wall, mammy figures, a little sambo book, native artifacts, and sombreros...the whip on the wall was really my cue to exit stage left.
Additionally, I agree with the peanut gallery regarding the pricing, it certainly feels like there's a mark up, but I'm personally not above paying a premium for the right piece. I love antiques, and the space and layout are truly fantastic for this type of shop. While I understand that certain inclusions are a part of history, without context, these choices (for me atleast) were pretty unsettling.
I honestly unsure if I'll be returning, but I wish them the best. read more
