Antiques & Things!

I saw online that they deal in the type of collectables that was left to me from my parents who used to have an antique business in several parts of Texas. They dealt mostly in Wedgwood, Fenton, Lladro, Chokin, among other quality glassware, china. I have no use for many of the items left to me and no one to leave it to when I pass. So I called to see if they, or if they knew where I could take my things to sell. The woman who answered «Peggy», was very short, rude, and irritated as if she hated answering the phone at all, much less wanting someone to ask her a question. She assumed I had «kitchen items, plates» that I don’t have. I don’t think she knew what Wedgwood, Fenton, Lladro was. Well I’ve never been in there, and now definitely won’t ever set foot in there. It’s sad that one persons lack of friendliness can ruin any business that other venders might have gotten.

I bought 3 brand name vintage pieces. The woman who did the refinishing on the furniture gave me a huge spiel about how special one of the pieces was… how unique. When I got home I noticed that the piece she was going on about is a piece of garbage, and not the vintage piece she claimed it to be. I immediately went back to Antiques & Things for resolution. The refinishing lady changed her story to how she had warned other businesses to stay away from the dealer who had sold the booth owner the piece. I left my number in order to speak to the booth owner. I followed up on that call the next week. The booth owner ignored my calls…
My advice: Know your vintage. Look for stamps. Don’t listen to the people who work there.
I like 2 of the 3 pieces I got, so that’s why I’m giving them 2 stars, but they were less than forthright. Both the booth owner and furniture refinisher sold the piece to me under false pretense, or were vastly ignorant of vintage furniture themselves.
Nice selection in the store, just try to be 1 step ahead of the hucksters.

I like coming back to this shop because I find something new (or should I say old) each time. This place is well lit and not too cramped either which makes for a nice shopping experience. Most vendors can and will do better on their prices … just ask.

Amazing selection with great prices. Very helpful and friendly staff as well. Lots of mid century modern furniture to choose from. Also, many beautiful armoires and secretaires. If you are shopping for anything for your home or anything for a gift you must stop here first! Guaranteed to find something special for your special someone.

One of the nicest antique malls in town. The vendors have been there an average of many years, the quality of the merchandise is good, and it’s clean and bright. Much nicer than some of the other antique malls around. Great variety of funky fun stuff to pore over.
