Antiques near Darien, CT

“If you like antiques and decorating this is THE place. There is truly something for everyone here regardless of what decor style you enjoy. I drive all the way from Long Island to go shopping here and I love everything about this place. The vendors are top notch, everything is displayed beautifully and thoughtfully and there is tons to look at. Everytime I go here there are new antiques to shop and I love that its a nice mix of old and new. I could spend hours looking around this place. Some items are negotiable as well. And since I love a good deal I genuinely appreciate that.”

“I had a great experience with Rich, the manager. He let me buy my items over the phone and held them for me until I was able to pick them up. The experience was seamless. When I showed up then chairs were beautiful and very well priced. A total steal. Thanks!”

“Really charming shop with even more charming things to buy. I loved their selection of paintings and prints, and some great china pieces too. The prices seemed really good, especially considering the area.”

“We reached out to Ryan at EVB looking for a specific book that is out of print, we wanted to purchase it as a gift. Ryan was not only able to locate the book (3 copies!!); he made a special trip to his Nantucket location that is closed for the season so that he could ship them to us in time for the recipient's birthday. Ryan went above and beyond for us, and we appreciate him so much!”

“A fantastic resource for anyone interested in great design. Wonderful vintage pieces, superb original design, incredibly professional customer service, and now offering furniture refinishing and upholstery.”

“The selection of products is terrific, and the service provided by Andy is outstanding. We are repeat customers and will continue to shop here for our outdoor furniture needs.”

“Little Joe's is the best upholsterer I've worked with. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are consistently top-notch, delivering flawless results. Despite the high-quality work, their pricing is reasonable. I've used them for various projects multiple times, and they consistently exceed my expectations. I highly recommend Little Joe's for upholstery needs.”

“My wife had purchased a few inexpensive Oriental plant stands and they were on their last legs. I started looking for quality replacements on the Internet because I do not drive and it is difficult for me to get around. I found Oriental Furnishings and became intrigued. Their selection was amazing. However, most importantly was their reviews. Every one I read was favorable or better. (Yes they can be better than just 5 stars) I decided on 2 rosewood plant stands and a rosewood coffee table but I wasn't sure if the colors matched. So I called their phone number and spoke to Bill. (who I later discovered that he was an owner) He couldn't have been nicer. He listened to my needs and put me on hold to check if the colors matched and if they were still in stock. Within minutes he returned with "yes" to both questions. I had asked if it was possible to have the items delivered into my home since I am 69 years old and disabled. He said he would arrange it but it might take 2 weeks. I said fine and I was very satisfied. He called me the following week and said they could be delivered in 2 days, a Friday. That was fine with me. At approximately 11:00 am an SUV drove up to my home. It was my furniture. The gentleman knocked on my door and asked if I was expecting a delivery. I said yes and he started to bring them. I told him that Bill, who I spoke to on the phone, was a really nice guy and extremely helpful. He then introduced himself as Bill. He told me his driver didn't show up today so he drove from Connecticut to Long Island to deliver my furniture. Without me asking, he unpacked and checked everything to make sure they were ok. He even removed the packing material. I have to say, they were beautiful. The colors were perfect and I couldn't be happier. In this day and age it is very rare that you find someone that is so considerate and caring of others. My entire dealings with Oriental Furnishings was fantastic and I highly recommend that you look there for you Oriental furniture and decorating needs. You will not be sorry. If you remember, in the beginning of my review, I said a company could be better than 5 stars. Now you understand why. Bill was absolutely fantastic to work with and when it's times to purchase more furnishings, I will only use Oriental Furnishings!??????????”

“This hidden gem has always helped for last minute gifts, for my sisters mom and girlfriend. The owner Sarah accompanied by her amazing staff have always helped pick the perfect things for all types of budgets.”

“This was my third time using the Clockery for repairs to my clocks. Each time the service was fast and very reasonable cost to me. Three very different clocks, all repaired and working fine thanks to the Clockery.”

“Truly an amazing collection of antiques and vintage items. There are several dealers at this design center; while each has their own unique style - including which design period(s) they focus on collecting and presenting - and way of decorating their space, it all comes together to create a beautifully-curated, design-lovers' paradise. Whether you're looking for a statement piece of furniture, the perfect objet d'art, or a new (vintage) piece of art to grace your walls - Avery & Dash is a great place to explore. There is a good mix of prices but definitely what is expected for the quality of pieces presented (please understand, these are authentic vintage and antique pieces in fantastic condition and therefore are priced as collectors' items or investment pieces). Also, the design center staff was very helpful - they greeted us when we went in, allowed us to browse around without hovering, and offered info when I found some things I was interested in (they were very accessible had I needed them sooner). They were the perfect mix of helpful and accessible - without being pushy - and friendly when we started talking. Just go - stroll around, see beautiful things, and even if the prices are outside the budget, inspiration abounds here! I found 3 or 4 mid-century modern buffets/credenzas and 2 dining sets I wanted to take home. If you're there to take it all in, give yourself at least an hour or two - there really is a lot to see. And last but not least - there is a decent amount of parking right near the store.”

“I have bid (won and lost) several times. Company is very responsive and responsible to work with. At my request they suggested a shipper and it worked out very well. The posted pictures and item's description are accurate. Good job, Butterscotch!”

“Been going to this shop for over 20 years. Even when Stamford was an antique mecca, A&AG has always been a must-go stop. Alas, it is the ending but still contains a wealth of great items in the realm of vintage, antique, and antiquities to make the visit worthwhile any time of year. Stay true A&AG!”

“Was beyond thrilled with my King Size French Bed, end tables and the service I received from this company. I had spotted this bed many years ago in the UK and couldn’t justify the shipping or the off size as a Canadian. I happened upon this company and was still nervous to make a purchase like this online. I called and had my first conversation of many with Gloria. She was very helpful and accommodating. When she first sent pictures of my furniture from the manufacturer before it was shipped I was in a panic. The piece was what I wanted but the finish and upholstery material didn’t appear to be what I expected and wanted. We were communicating by text and I was honest with her about my concerns. She explained that because of the finish it could appear quite different depending on the light and angle. She assured me I would be happy and if not she would order me another one and send finish samples if I was uncomfortable. She sent more pictures when it arrived from her showroom and I made arrangements to pick it up. The bed is stunning and if anything exceeded my expectations. My husband inspected it thoroughly and said the workmanship and quality is fantastic. I really was quite a difficult customer through the process and Gloria always had time for me. The packing, care and service from her employeeswas also very professional and courteous. It was a real pleasure to meet Gloria at the end of this process and I can’t thank her enough. I wish this company a lot of success and give my vote of confidence in ordering from them.”
