Had a great experience. Chris had a lot of nice stuff Wich suites to my similar interests. Had some neat taxidermy few oddities really neat wood carvings. The furniture was quality and overall had a lot of nice stuff. I go in alot of antique stores and found his to be well worth the trip. We found a nice dresser Wich Chris had a lot of knowledge on. He worked with me on prices and was very fun to talk to. Great experience and great guy.

Inconsiderate of people's time.....NOT a fake review. I emailed you, LISA. We had a set time to meet between 10:30 and 11am which YOU agreed upon. I drove OVER an hour to get there PLUS TOLLS. Got there at 10:30. After knocking, emailing, calling (with a full mailbox answering)...you emailed me at 11:35 stating you were there. I was already on the way home. If you truly wanted my business, you would've been proactive and got there at 10 (like you said in the email, you would be there from 10 and 5 today). Very inconsiderate and NOT A FAKE REVIEW. My husband was with me as well.

DO NOT BOTHER. Just like many of the other reviews, came here during posted business hours and it was locked up tight. Guess this place doesn’t need “regular” customers

I dropped in on a whim last week and had SUCH a fun time here! Ever nook and cranny is filled with something interesting. Gorgeous, high quality vintage items. Many shops like this have a good deal of junk that you have to sort through, but not here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time exploring Christopher’s Antiques, and plan to return again next time I’m in the area. Christopher himself was really pleasant as well! I overheard his conversation with another shopper who was trying to pretend they didn’t know the value of the item they wanted (a bit underhanded, IMO); and Christopher was so kind in dealing with them, though I’m sure he also knew they were trying to take advantage. I appreciate people like that. All in all, a wonderful shop that I hope to return to many times!

I am not sure about the previous reviews that say the store isn't always opened on the listed time. But for me every time I've gone in it has always been open when it said it would be. The owner is quite friendly and does allow to barter on some items within reason. He has a wide selection of items such as furniture, typewriters, electronics and more. Would recommend checking out his store.

Very confusing and unreliable hours. Good collection of items but the atmosphere was very unwelcoming - constant hovering and glares. Plenty of other great antique stores within a couple of miles - notably the ones in the Annapolis area. If you are looking for a comfortable antiquing experience, this is not the place to be. I suggest taking your business elsewhere.

I went to the other antique stores first and though they said they were open, the doors were locked and numbers didn’t work. I came here as a bit of a why-not and the owner came to unlock the door and was so helpful with opening doors and cabinets for me. He also was super willing to work on prices and I got some amazing pieces I can’t wait to give new homes and uses to. An incredible shop I could’ve spent hours in! There’s so much everywhere and a bunch of genuinely old antiques, not just 20th century stuff! Thank you!!

Easily the best antique store in the Bowie or the area that I've visited. Lots of quality items in a range of prices, eras, and areas of interest. We walked out with a great deal of a few items for Christmas. Mr. Heller had a little of everything! Taxidermy, old medical devices, Naval Signal equipment, Militaria, toys, Lots of smalls, lots of furniture, arts primitives. Almost everything was in great shape. Not a junk store by any stretch of the imagination. Make sure you have time for a few laps around the store to check the many cabinets.Not everything has a price posted on it but the prices we found and the prices we got were somewhere between fair and excellent. There were a few items that weren't for sale, but you can always ask! The store is full of the the owner's personal collection so you can get the best deal possible.As other viewers have said, you might call before showing up. He might be out getting that next amazing item. Takes cards but as always, cash is king and the closest ATM is a little far.
