Antiques in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

“Audrey and Fourtane are awesome!

I recently graduated college and wanted to commemorate with a new watch. I was set on Tudor and wanted to explore a few of their offerings in person but Fourtane, the nearest dealer, was a few hours away. Years ago I stepped into Fourtane just to look around and remember feeling rather intimidated so I was hesitant to return (though I never had a poor experience with any of their staff). I decided to first call a few dealers, with the intent of selecting the one with which I had the best experience over the phone.

Fortunately, when I called Fourtane, I spoke with Audrey. Right away, I could sense that she was genuine. She was knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions. Knowing that I would be driving a few hours, she sent me pictures of all the watches in advance, and held them for me until I arrived. The great experience continued once I got there, and I left happy, with a Black Bay 36 on my wrist.

Since then, I have visited a few other non-Tudor dealers but nothing has compared to Fourtane. I really look forward to returning to Audrey and Fourtane for future purchases. Thank you!”

“Unique Estate jewelry displayed in this beautiful shop in the heart of Carmel. The owner, Earl, is a pleasure to talk to and he sure knows his business!!! A great place to shop!”

“A cute store full of antiques and literary treasures! It's located right behind the Cottage of Sweets. This is a great shop for collectors and anyone who loves Jane Austen novels or Alice in Wonderland. They have a large variety of first editions of class novels, as well as collectibles, tea sets, and more. Love the vintage themes and aesthetic. Definitely a cute place to drop by for any bookworms out there!”

“I had an amazing experience at Robertson's Antiques. I was greeted immediately upon entering, and was asked if I needed help with finding anything in particular. I didn't, so I wandered the store and loved looking at the curated collections there. So much love has gone into not only sourcing the pieces there but the displays and ambiance as well. I found a beautiful necklace I plan to wear for my wedding and had a great conversation with one of the ladies working there about the history of the piece. Yes, the store is expensive, but in my opinion, the quality of the antiques, variety of options, and experience you get while browsing makes it worth it.”
