“I love this shop. About 80% of the furnishings at my Boston home are from Upstairs Downstairs. There, I’ve been able to find a mix of new and old (antique or vintage) items. The owner, Laura, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and has a sophisticated and elegant taste. I can’t recommend this store enough. For those heavier items, they also ship and deliver.Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is a MUST SEE in Boston.”
“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)”
“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!”

“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.”
“Found some great things there alot of retro stuff and antiques with excellent customer service I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they have I know there’s a few things I want to get before someone else does”
“Tom was so patient with me. It took me a while to decide if I wanted to invest in an entry light for my 110 year old home. No duh! The result is wonderful. It's so beautiful. Tom packed everything so well and gave me the correct length of support so it hangs exactly where it should with my woodwork. We love this home and the light adds so much joy. Thank you!”
