“My daughter and I stumbled upon Bartevian while visiting Emerson College. Patricia went through her life story in great detail. She has clearly seen it all. We were happy to buy a book from her. The store is full of old-time nik naks. This place is worth a visit.”
“Beautiful store filled with treasures - when you purchase something here you keep it forever and pass it down. Everything is special and unique and the service is beyond excellent - highly recommend.”
“Had the pleasure to talk with Wayne, who quickly helped me figure out what to do about a 100+ year old gramophone I had. Really honest and kind, and helped me out a whole lot. If you’re trying to figure out what to do with some old antiques and collectibles, a definitely recommend contacting central mass auctions!”
“I had a great experience today purchasing a lampshade for an unusually sized and shaped lamp. I had previously gone online and had all the measurements for what should work, but I decided it was better to talk with an expert who could make a recommendation. That’s what I got and I am very happy with my purchase. It’s the value you don’t get online, full service, no wasted packaging, and supporting local business.”
“I had to take some time to write this and help promote Janice and Cal's cute little antique business in beacon hill. they are the sweetest elderly couple, super knowledgeable and explained to me the history behind each of their pieces. shop has a lot to offer but specializes in antique procelains. I bought a beautifulChinese embroidery from them 2 yrs ago and my mom got a pair of Dresden Lamb cup sets today. both will be treasured for years to come. makes me sad that there isn't more shops like this in this mass produced world.(the husband got yelled at for giving us too much of a discount so l gotta help him out here lol)”
