Beautiful high-end antique shop in what must be the greatest antique-store location in the whole U.S. Great selection of Nantucket baskets and scrimshaw. For serious antiquers and collectors.

Amazing variety!! We spent a lot of time speaking with Liz who was very knowledgeable about the items for sale and helped us narrow down our search because we were so overwhelmed by the abundance of great pieces! She humored my partner and I as we openly debated if one truly ever NEEDS a whale tooth carved into the shape of a banana… sadly we walked away from the item and by the time we realized we missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime quirky find and came back the next day to purchase it we learned that someone had scooped it up before we came to our senses and returned. She truly went above and beyond for us. We can’t wait to return and see what other treasures are in store for us. Thanks again Liz. Have a great time on your vacation — thanks for the great convo and all your help! Your kindness meant a lot to us, and we’ll treasure our pieces for our lifetimes. I hope we cross paths again soon. —Molly & Chris
