One of the finest high quality antique stores in all of New England. Like going back in time when antique stores were antique stores. Best of all, the prices are not stupid-high even though located on Nantucket. Excellent authentic selection and fair market—high quality—value. A place to go to buy that unique beautiful piece for your collection. An antiquer’s antique store and a historians antique store. Plus, a beautiful shop.
