“I visited this antique shop on July 31st this year and purchased the book "The Bartevians: A Boston family." I am delighted to have had the opportunity to read through the history of Pat's family, which eloquently narrates the remarkable story of the family and witnesses the hardships that America went through during the Great Depression and World War II. Thank you Pat for allowing me to share in your rich life experiences.”
“I have a Black Forest cuckoo clock that I purchased in Heidelberg, Germany while I lived there in 1986. The clock has traveled the world with me since then but I've never had it serviced and it was beginning to have some problems (after 37 years). I took it to Ross for servicing and lubrication.Speaking with Ross, I could see that he's an experienced professional.Please keep in mind that he's not fast, he has quite a lot of clocks to work on (and he does the work himself), but he's thorough, courteous, and stands behind his work.I would highly recommend Ross to any individual needing work done on their personal clock(s), or professional entities needing work done on larger, more public clocks ~ he has news clippings showing the work he's done on several town clocks and, more notably, The Boston Customs House clock.He did an excellent job ! If you need this sort of service, this is the place to come to ~”
“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)”
“A gem of a place. Quality people doing quality work. I asked them to glue up and refinish my reproduction antique tabletop. The purpose of the glue up was to turn the 4 pieces of the top into a solid piece. I had removed the skirt before bringing the pieces in. Dan Jr sent me back home for the skirt and they ended up fabricating the pieces to make a full 360 degree skirt. It looks amazing. Then they finished it all with a nice mahogany color stain and light gloss urethane.”
“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.”
“My favorite place to be outside of my own home. What a fantastic environment - it's exactly the type of vintage/collectible store I was looking for. Bur it more than just a store - it's multi-vendor so there are different types of things everywhere you look and new stuff all the time.The folks who work at and run it are just great. So welcoming and kind.There are treasures just waiting to be found at every turn”
“Absolute favorite funky vintage store. So many treasures and so much charm. We've gotten beautiful items for our home here and some wonderful gifts, including new (not vintage) cashmere scarves last Christmas that were a big hit. Beautiful place run by lovely owner.”
“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!”

“Stopped by this little shop on the way home from the Cape towards Boston. It wasn't too far off of the highway so it was pretty convenient. The owner of the shop was a nice lady. There was plenty of items to look at, almost too many to be able to do a thorough look through. She was able to ring us up as soon as we were ready. Wouldn't mind coming back here again.”
“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!”
