Stepping into Elegant Findings is a wondrous journey tiptoeing through centuries of treasures. Each piece is hand picked, whether that be a single teacup and saucer or a complete set of Meissen dinnerware. The friendly shopkeepers are ready to assist with whatever you're looking for, or if you're just browsing, eager to chit chat sharing their vast knowledge of porcelain. This Beacon Hill gem is full to the brim with one of a kind porcelain, china, crystal, stemware, centerpieces, urns, vases, signed museum quality hand painted plates, oil paintings, clocks and so many more unique pieces and collectables that it feels like a treasure hunt every time I step inside. Always an adventure made so much more fun by Cal and Janice whose banter engages even the most reluctant customer. I highly recommend this shop to the serious collector or anyone seeking something that they won’t find anywhere else.

It was my first time in Boston and the first place my daughter wanted to take me to! I am visiting from NC and have been to many antique stores and this was by far the best. Loved meeting the owners of the shop. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and take our time to decide on our items. Honestly, chatting with them was as enjoyable as exploring the beautiful store.

I absolutely love this store. Every piece has been carefully curated and has so much history behind it. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and I really enjoy learning from them. They make the shopping experience so pleasant! I brought my mom and my sister here today and we had such a great time browsing through the beautiful items, chatting with the owners, and selecting a few (of many) gorgeous pieces. Janice and Cal are wonderful people who care a lot about their customers! This is my favorite store in Boston by far!
Dear Talitha, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was wonderful meeting your family yesterday. We love meeting wonderful people like you and your family. We are so glad you enjoyed our store. Our goal is to make our customers feel at home in our store, and teach everyone that comes to Elegant Findings about our antiques so they can enjoy each piece they love forever. We look forward to seeing you and your family again in the future.

Janice and Kal are wonderful experts and professionals to work with in the antique business. I feel so blessed to have met them in Boston. I live out of state and have been working with them for a while to expand my collection of China and the Lalique and Wedgwood along with other various pieces.

I would say it’s the best antique store I’ve ever been to. The shop owners are really knowledgeable, honest and friendly. The collections are incredible. A must go to shop whether you live or visit 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 beautiful Chinese 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)

Very sweet elderly couple who helped me pick out some items. I bought their cheapest, discounted teacups and saucers which were hidden underneath a cabinet, but the owners were still so kind and attentive. They lovingly cleaned the cups and saucers and packaged them nicely. I must say it's a pleasure using them for tea at home. The store has an extensive collection of vintage and antique china that's hard to find anywhere else, especially in this modern day and age. A hidden gem in Boston!
