Update March 2025: This place is still open. I popped in to browse for a new table and the prices are astronomical. I didn't see a piece of furniture for less than $1000. The pieces are unique, rustic, with an industrial style, but are overpriced.
Sad that this place is closing in September of 2023 because there are many unique pieces in this shop. Definitely recommend stopping by before they close!

Great selection and prices. Well stocked with industrial vintage furniture. Easy access and parking.

Not sure what these other reviews are spewing about. Went in here today and Paul (the owner) is what made the experience so awesome. Talked our ears off, but in the best way possible. Gave genuine advice, told funny stories, was very easy to chat with. The selection is awesome, maybe some items are a bit overpriced, but a lot of things in the main showroom are custom built and refurbished, with the history behind the items I think it’s worth it. I left the store today without buying anything and with no issue, he wasn’t pushy about sales at all, and welcomed us back anytime. Paul is the OG, put some respect.

Amazingly beautiful items in this place! Paul was so welcoming and so proud of his collection. Must see!

Paul is awesome, just don’t be annoying and he’ll hook you up!

Fun place to stop and look around. Paul was there and was very nice.

Guy who worked there was very nice, gave my wife and I a little horseshoe for moving into the area. Really neat stuff, bit of a hidden gem.

We loved this place. Very unique items. Unfortunately they will be closing the store.

Paul is very nice. Closing in 6 months (as of Mid-April) so if you’ve been putting off going for any reason. Go go go!

What a great place.  He has stuff from all over the world in there.  You have to see it to believe it.

Great experience. Every piece is a real treasure, and Paul is a fascinating person!

very unusual antique shop. It is a large store with many items I have never previously seen being sold. Sizes of items vary from quite large (Asian prayer windows and entrance doors), to very small things.  I loved the old stagecoach suitcases.  Absolutely worth a visit.

Really cool selection of unique antiques, especially the repurposed industrial items. Will be back to purchase a few items in the future.

Love it love it beautiful hand made heavy solid wood !!
I was in haven went I got inside the store 😍

Amazing collection of varied and fascinating imports (less antiques) of all types, sizes, and prices. Friendly and helpful as well!

Really nice shop with a lot of beautiful and unique pieces from around the world. Owner was welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Amazing place! All the pieces were so special, & beautifully restored with such attention to details!

This place is fantastic! Be sure and go early if btowsing as there are so many beautiful things to see. I ran out of time so will be back to explore the upstairs. Friendly service and clean envirinment.

What an amazing stop! My husband and I found an antique ladder to use as a blanket ladder and a beautiful round coffee table! We can’t wait to go back!

We had such a great time as we browsed the furniture on our own and was followed up by the owners sharing incredible stories of where the pieces came from! Paul and Paul were gifts to the experience, I cannot wait to bring friends here to check out the selection.

Beautiful pieces to enhance your home decor. Staff was very helpful.

I enjoyed visiting this beautiful store. Amazing selections of old and reclaimed furnitures. Tons of choices in different price range. Very helpful staff great parking space. This is a good to place for people anyone who is furnishings or update their home. I love this place.

Fantastic stuff! Has been a must stop for years when passing by Frederick. Paul will also ship to your home.

Awesome antique shop! Tons of great finds. The owner Paul was actually there and was super nice!

Great stuff.  Never know what cool items you'll find for your home . Old knife box refinished and reused.

A treasure trove of undiscovered finds. Need an old clock? They've got one. How about a Church pew? There's a few of those too. What's that you say; in the market for a civil war era apple box? Look no further, Great Stuff by Paul's got plenty of those too.

This is not an American antiques store!!! They used to be antiques  importers, so you'll find original things from all over the world. You'll also find old things repurposed into new things. Everything is always on sale. That's why the sticker prices are so high.

Interesting spot with a variety of rustic items to decorate your place with. I believe that this place is closing soon, so it might be better to stop by sooner rather than later

Great stuff but expensive. Still love to go and see all the unique items.

Beautiful shop with unique furniture and such.  Items from India and China as well.  We will be back.

Going out of business. All will be closed-gone by October 2023. We stopped in today and got the news. 40% off furniture over $400. Lots of things below 200 are bogo.

I must say Paul certainly does have some great stuff! ALOT of it! This place was almost like a well organized museum of relics from around the world! It has a very well laid out functional showroom with a huge warehouse behind it, then a scrap yard beyond that. Im usually one looking for potential bargains or furniture to repurpose so unfortunately I mostly struck out here but it was a fun, educational tour of old world wonders. Im no expert on antiques but Paul's to me feels like a place you go if you have an unlimited budget, not a place you plan to barter on.

On a side note they do offer storage of items until you are ready to pick up, paying in full required. Also they have delivery options available through outside contractors. Happy hunting!

First time visit, a very nice antique store with lots of unique pieces for decorating. Friendly staff very willing to help. Check it out.

I thought this place was amazing and creepy. This is not the place to go if your looking for deals or small items, IMHO.

Nice place, but the antiques aren't very antiques but more of imported goods. Seemed way over priced.

There are two locations, one in downtown Frederick and the other one here. They are both filled to the gills with a bunch of cool old stuff, but it's a little expensive. Someone with a good imagination and knack for interior design might be able to think of where to put things like old 1920s leather suitcases.

Sort of good selection. The owner is rude, condescending towards minority groups. High prices are not an issue but I just don’t like the feeling that if I am bringing you income, at least treat the customer right. For this, we simply walked out. Looks like the place will be closing soon. Elevated prices may be to compensate losses.

A few interesting true antiques, the rest piles of imports claiming to be "100 years old". Everything had a heavy, shiny shellac coating on it, which was odd.  Overall, disappointing.

Paul very rude from The moment me and my boyfriend entered the store my family works in antiquities so I was very interested in some of the history of his pieces that he claimed were from 750 years ago China Indo China different places when I simply asked do you have historical papers to back this up? He said no I just went to the country and bought it and I said well then wouldn’t you have paperwork showing that I’m not gonna get into this with you very angrily when I was just trying to verify the actual antiquity of an item He is pricing these items based off of them being an antique from a different country and time period When asked for any evidence or clarification, he becomes very angry and rude. When asked questions about items from Cultures relating to my own ethnicity such as Turkish and Persian he pretended like he had no clue what I was talking about and waved me off

Stopped in looking for something in particular. I'm not going to lie, there were some nice and interesting items in the shop but definitely overpriced. I was greeted by an older gentleman who at first was nice. He explained a few things about his inventory and then asked me what I was looking for. I told him and he said he had several in the back. When I explained that I wasn't looking to spend a fortune on a butter churn, he became irritated and basically dismissed me and told me to go look in the back. When I couldn't find what I was looking for I came back towards the front with a picture and he became very agitated and said that he had it but all the pieces were sold separately. He began to rant about the amount of money that I wanted to spend and was extremely rude! When I asked him why he was being so short with me, he told me it was because I was irritating him and wasting his time. I told him he was rude and his attitude was bad for business. From that point he followed behind me to the front door basically yelling goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. I actually did find an item that I was interested in buying, but after the way he treated me I wouldn't spend a dime in his shop. Rudest man I've ever met!

Short patience and ill tempered shop keeper. Uncomfortable customer service

Many poorly crafted fragile imports with a heavy inconsistent varnish. The old man is odd and rude. Seems he can’t have a conversation without humiliating someone, including his customers.

I used to frequent this shop being today would be my last day. The owner is very very rude and tries to pressure you as a sales tactic. When he realizes that you're not going to buy, he's very indignant! All of his pieces are way overpriced and if you try to bargain him on any damaged items he insults you. I was going to make him a bulk offer on items but decided not to based on his behavior! He's been having this closing sale every year as his prices are still in the stratosphere. He will be eating his inventory if he doesn't croak first.
His items are not so great and neither is Paul! A very distasteful and rude owner he is.

Owner was nice to us. I heard him asking another customer when she had planned on buying an item she was interested in......she said when she was ready, she would buy it.  He AGAIN asked her Well when?? Very pushy!! Weird stuff in here, it's Not really a normal antique store.

0/10 paul kicked me and my kids in the face when we asked about a discount. when we tried to call the cops he smashed our phones- posting from my computer furious.

Just called to inquire about selling a nice antique vanity and matching chair. The old man that answered was so rude he immediately cut me off when I was trying to explain what I had and he said "he didn't know what I was saying!" I stated i hadn't finished yet and he proceeded to interrupt by yelling a couple times. Perhaps the signal was bad. Finally he stated "were not buying anything!" and I said okay have a nice day. Then he proceeded to say "well what do you have?...i gotta do this quick" And I stated well if you're not buying anything whatsoever as he plainly put it, then why does it matter what I have? He laughed very rudely and said well maybe I can give you some advice. He said this sarcastically not genuinely trying to help. He was so rude the whole time and kept cutting me off  like i was just bothering him. If he didnt have the time to talk not sure why he would answer the phone or not put me on hold or even a call back. Its pretty simple customer service.  I used to purchase from here but I will not be going back due to awful personnel that apparently run this place. I just hung up as I couldn't keep speaking to a man who was so disrespectful to customers. After reading multiple reviews I've come across quite a few describing a very rude older man. Not sure why he is still employed unless he is the owner but people are definately not a fan of him.

This place seemed like it had a lot of "great stuff" and we were excited to look around; but as soon as we walked in, we were stopped at the door by an elderly gentleman who informed my husband that his face covering was not acceptable. My husband's face shield, which currently IS acceptable as a face covering, covered his entire face, but this guy wearing a bandana as a mask told him, "You know that doesn't count as a mask, right?" And would not let us in until he checked with Paul. No thanks. Educate yourself before you turn people away for stupid reasons.

Shop clerk yelled at me when I asked to check a price...." you are making my job very difficult"..outraged..I and my friend and I left WITHOUT making our purchase due to the rude older man...that I asked to do HIS JOB..how dare I?

I called ahead specifically asking if their place was handicap parking and if the inside was walker accessible inside. I was told yes. I was also offered the use of their ramp to get into the store, which was very thoughtful.
However, inside, had I needed to use my wheelchair or scooter, I wouldn't have been able to go very far, maybe 20' to 25', before needing to start moving numerous and very large pieces of furniture.
Even with my walker, I had to keep folding it up, to allow me to squeeze between all the merchandise scattered throughout the store.
There is one pathway that had no specific size, but changes as it leads you to smaller and smaller non manageable ones.
NO set structured isles to accommodate any handicapped persons needing the use of any mobile device to get around.
The only way I would have been able to "Very Carefully" move around,  would've  been to use my cane with the assistance of my daughter.  "Had I been so advised in advance, I would have prepared myself for that.
It was a very nice store from the little I was able to see. Would have loved to explore more, had I been able to look around without fear of knocking into everything.
