The Attic Antiques

One of the better antique stores in Bryan. I’ve known about this place for a long time, and occasionally browsed it, but really only recently have become aware of how much cool stuff is here.
So, last week I forked over a fair amount of change for a French oak cabinet, circa 1900, that was exactly what I was looking for. The very nice owners helped load the thing into my too-​small car, and now I own a very nice antique that simply looks fantastic.
I’ll be back for sure.

This is an alright antique store. Not the best I’ve seen, and certainly not the best in this area. I liked others in Bryan much better. Although the man who works here is extremely nice and he will try to help you find what you’re looking or as much as he can.

This is a great antique store. The selection is HUGE. Furniture, textiles, framed art and photos, old photos, light fixtures and lamps, china, silver, fishing gear, hunting gear, cauldrons, tools, everything your heart desires is here, antiquely speaking. The lady working at the counter was nice and let us browse to our hearts content. Things are kind of laid out in no particular order, although there is a nautical themed section in the far back left corner and a tools and sundries section in the very very back.
The location for this store is ideal too, since it’s in the happening downtown Bryan district, close to some great places to snag a bite to eat. It’s all good.

This store is a genuine antique store, from the typewriter erasers to depression glass and beyond! I like «hunting» for what I collect (hobnail milkglass), so this place made me feel like I was going to find the crown jewel in my collection at any turn. I went very slowly, looking at everything, and was so fascinated by the things they have. This is how antiquing should be, not just scanning shelves of junk looking for a rarity.
I did find two hobnail milk glass lamp globes, but I passed on them because I collect the smaller pieces. They also had an old cash register for over $ 1000, which got me all excited because we have two in similar condition… I love it!

This is an awesome antique store. My wife and I were walking down the street with my parents during First Friday and could not help poke in here for a «few minutes» as the owners were open past 9pm and standing by the front door waving people in. And we were pretty well impressed. This is the best antique store we have ever seen, and my Mom and I have seen quite a few from California to Texas.
Unlike the way too many places that call themselves «Antique Stores», when they are only offering junk like a glorified garage sale, this IS an Antique store. And it’s huge. We had no idea how large this was when looking at it from the street. And all I can suggest is try to set aside at least an hour or more to just gaze at all the cool stuff in here.
One thing we thought was funny is that they have stands of original black and white photos that they call «Instant Ancestors». haha! (see our photos).
The entire store seems to be very well organized into sections, and if you have ever collected –anything– in your life, you will find something here that you want. I had to really compose myself, as I found a huge collection of toys that I used to have as a kid, and totally forgot about. From Star Wars action figures, to Tonka trucks, Hot wheels and even things you totally forgot about, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of the hundreds of thousands of items they have on display.
And here’s the real shocker. Everything is VERY cheap! I found an old Lionel train for $ 5 that has to be worth hundreds. My father found a book that he has been looking for, for years, for $ 3. Last time he saw it online somewhere it was $ 36. So he bought that and was very pleased.
I think that’s about enough said, as there’s no way I could fully describe this place in the text allotted for this review. Just check it out yourself. 5 stars and two thumbs up! (And take a camera as you will be glad you did!)
