Good selection of furniture, lamps, glassware and crystal stemware, and silver serving ware. I purchased several items and will be back for more! The town is really a nice place to visit. This store is at the far end of the one-way main drag. Very nice merchants and reasonably priced.

Loved this shop! First one to open on the street and the store is huge and the back room is a dream with so many more treasures. I will definitely be going back.

Rude. We felt very uncomfortable & unwanted. Younger man was very rude to an older lady who came in after us. Apparently they were closing and he coldly told her he "didn't get paid to be there after 4" when she told him she wanted purchase something. None of us were greeted or spoken to upon arrival. Completely ignored. Nobody said they were closing soon or could they possibly help to find something. Would not go back and would not recommend. Plenty of other antique stores around.

My favorite antique store of all times! They have almost any piece of antique furniture that you can think of and in pristine condition. I've bought several large items here and felt that the price was very good for the excellent quality. I will continue to shop this family owned businesses. Tony, the owner, knows his stuff and I enjoy hearing about the history of where his pieces came from. Love this shop!

I will never forget entering this store for the first time and discovering one of the true gems of this little city. So many wonderful one of a kind treasures here. Many items I remember from my grandmas kitchen that are no longer available in stores. You too will enjoy this store.

Stop here 1 or twice a month always a great place to shop and just look around. They have a couple shop dogs a little one that barks and big fat lab named Charlie, I bring my dogs in to see them all the time. I had nice conversation with both employees who seem to love what they are doing. They have a huge selection of almost every type of antique you can think of. They lady who left 1 star about dogs, your story just doesn't make sense. I have seen numerous dogs in that store including my own

Extremely rude young man. Had there been a sign that dogs were not welcomed we would not had wandered in. In a town where most shops are dog friendly it kind of rattled us. My husband had seen the knives, was really planning on buying one. Their loss. Put a sign up if you don't want dogs in your store

This is probably one of the last high end antique stores left on the central coastal area. They have from Milaforie to Seive and very fine old jewelry. Some of their wood funiture pieces where outstanding. Interesting how they can stay open when 40 years olds and younger don't know the value of fine rare antiques.

This is a unique quirky old school antique store that more or less marks the end of the main touristy shopping district of San Juan Bautista. Parking is street only, which in the worst case scenario just means you'll be down the block a little way instead of right in front. This is a very large space just crammed not only with bona fide antiques, but also collectibles of all kinds and even some home decor stuff, like chandeliers and fixtures. Don't forget to walk all through the building to the rear as the stock spills out into the back lot. No really. There are some true finds here. On my visit there were no less then three grandfather clocks along with one vintage granddaughter clock, which isn't the most common item to find. To me some of the most interesting items were the collectibles. To be short, whatever your small hobby of collecting is, this place will have something. It's interesting observing the sheer diversity of what people will find collectible. Some rare ish stuff inside, such as beer cans, which is very much the niche item. The back storage is not for the claustrophobic-the furniture in back is indeed packed very tightly and there is barely room for one person to move down the stacks, so if you fear closed in spaces stay in the front where the best jewelry displays are. There is of course more in back, but really the best jewelry type items are in front. Pricing and all sales have to be done with the owner who while present each day may be running errands or suchlike when you become ready to buy. Patience is rewarded, and if you are looking to bargain and/or negotiate bear in mind that the owner is exceptionally knowledgeable about the market and his stock. Additionally he's a little bit of a stubborn old man. This doesn't mean he won't bend on pricing-whatever his curmudgeonliness he is in business and stock that doesn't sell is dead capital, but it does mean that he drives a hard bargain. Bring your A game if you are attempting to negotiate. Due to the sheer amount of stuff, this is an interesting spot for collectibles, antiques and casual gift shopping.

bought some items from us and we got a super deal! Tony has vast experience about many different objects of art and furniture. He is really the go to guy in around town and in the area. Best in the west!
