3714 Richmond Rd, Keswick“In April 2024, I visited Blue Whale Books. The shop is well organized and has a great selection of quality used books. There is a nice selection of old maps and prints for sale too. I bought an antique 3 volume set of books and the lady who owns the bookstore shipped them for me. Her customer service was great, and these books arrived undamaged because they were packed so meticulously.”
12 - 6PM
105 5th St SE, Charlottesville“Always something fun to find here, from vintage clothing to records to memorabilia. And Low saved the day when I was shooting a film last year and had a last-minute wardrobe problem for my leading lady: They had the perfect dress -- and at a perfect price, too. A downtown gem!”
“I could have spent hours in this store. What a wonderful blend of the old and new. I went to buy a small hostess gift and ended up with several birthday presents and beautiful small ceramic XMAS trees for myself. Items are reasonably priced and the selection is amazing.”
10AM - 5:30PM
1700 Allied St, Charlottesville“The best antique shop in Charlottesville by far! I have found so many great things here, above and beyond what I ever expected, and very reasonable pricing on most items! The staff is efficient and friendly, contrary to what some dishonest reviewers have said. I live close to Circa and go frequently. Everyone there is always friendly (and in a good way, not in a pushy annoying way).”
“I've shopped at this store for many years since arriving in Charlottesville. The selection of beautifully restored late Ching dynasty pieces is superb and rarely found in this part of the country. The owners are honest, friendly, and provide excellent customer service. I have recommended this unique store through the years to all my friends and family for high quality Chinese gifts and antique furnishings.”
“They have antiques and collectibles of all kinds with reasonable prices. My whole party made purchases and want to go back again soon. Takes about 2 hours to see it all.”
