Jefferson West

Whatever you are looking for… you will find it here!
What a pleasure to walk through the rooms at Jefferson West. The owners, Doris and Charles, have exquisite taste and are so charming and helpful. They have everything: bedroom sets, dining room sets, lighting, armoires, gorgeous desks, small tables, benches, paintings, sculptures all one of a kind and extremely unique. They know their stuff and their inventory is constantly evolving. Have fun!

This is an «antique» store in the true sense of the word. As in, there are pieces up to several hundred years old.
There are 3 small rooms on the first floor surrounding a giant warehouse (where the most impressive finds are), plus a small upstairs area. The most jaw-​dropping thing I saw was an intricately-​carved wood bed from the late 1600s; it was a sort of canopy bed but also had partial walls all the way around, giving the impression of a small room. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I’m betting that they get a good chunk of business from the nearby studios; this would be prop heaven for many a period piece. The ladies on duty Friday mentioned that they get a lot of professional decorators in as well.
Speaking of the ladies, even though it became painfully apparent right away that my mom and I couldn’t afford to shop there, they were still friendly and shared interesting stories about some of the pieces we were looking at. I really appreciated that they didn’t dismiss us as looky-​loos.
This is not a store for the average Joe. This is a store for the discerning collector, who would have no trouble finding an awe-​inspiring, one-​of-​a-​kind treasure.
