Incredible selection. Obviously you shouldn’t pick up these items that are basically from the Holocaust you cast of incredibly stupid 1 star lunatics. Read the paper on the way in about the history.

The gentleman that greeted my daughter and me was courteous and friendly. He spent a good while explaining the provenance of the beautiful crystal Czech Christmas trees. Though we told him we were "just looking" he couldn't have been kinder. We had a wonderful time there and felt that we had seen an enchanting art exhibit. The antiques and collectibles are lovely and nicely curated.

I had passed this antique shop from time to time over the last few years always admiring the window displays but the last time I had gone in was years ago. I stopped by the shop yesterday and even though it was closing time - 5:00pm - and the owner (Lynda) was at the front door, she welcomed me right in. The shop has an impressive selection of majolica pottery and crystal Christmas trees. Lynda was so friendly and knowledgeable. We chatted about American art pottery companies and what we were collecting and she showed me the various fruit patterns of an entire group of 20 French majolica plates. My husband then joined me in the shop, and I showed him the plates and we also looked at some of the Christmas trees (he knows how much I love Christmas as a holiday) and Lynda explained some of the details of the history and workmanship.As we were in the last room, my eyes landed on a bolt of 1950’s vintage Swedish fabric. It was beautiful, like new condition (see photo below) and perfect for a pair of cushions for a vintage George Nakashima chair which I had left at the upholsterer for months. We bought the fabric and will come back to get a Christmas tree.

Incredible collection of Czech crystal Christmas trees, probably the best in the world. Always worth a visit.

One of the best sources for Chinese Export, along with others ceramics and small antiques, in the country. Willauer is extremely knowledgeable and happy to share her expertise with those who wander in.

If I could give this store negative stars I would. The rudest staff I’ve ever met. I was yelled as a 40 Year old woman for picking up a piece to look at pricing. Like literally the woman screamed at me! Why do you have pricing on a sticker on the bottom of pieces? I am not a child looking at antiques. It was a terrible atmosphere. They would rudely tell people to leave if they were only looking. I planned on purchasing a christmas jewel tree and I would never go back there. The woman sitting at the desk by the fireplace/mantle is a snooty nasty human.

When I entered this pricey, chock-a-full shop in search of Chinese porcelain to add to my collection, I was “greeted” by a woman who immediately yelled at me for touching a plate (all the price labels were on the back) and whose nasty response to a question on the plate’s age was “I am an expert on porcelain and I can’t possibly tell you all I know). All this happened within about 2 minutes of crossing the threshold. I felt like I’d been slapped. I left. The plate stayed . I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so unkindly or unprofessionally in any shop anywhere.

They don't want to sell, they miss treat customers constantly, which makes me think this is some type of front for something, hopefully they will get caught soon.
