Unique Antiques Mall

Really large. You will spend at least an hour in there. They have a book in the front of the store for the vendors where customers can put down what they are interested in or looking for in the mall. It’s hit or miss like every antique store, but it’s not bad. It’s up to the vendors on how they want their area to look.

Great mall. lots of dealers. Big variety of items with antiques scattered about. Reasonable prices in most booths. Plan on spending at least an hour.

This week I purchased an old wooden shot gun shell crate from Unique Antiques Mall. After I got it home I noticed it was infested with wood bores. Took it back to return it and was told that all sales are final. It says so right on the store receipt. OK my bad but you would think they would at least listen and provide some concern and maybe offer some suggestion on how to get rid of wood bores in antique furniture.

*Just a heads up if you’re coming to this store for the first time from Maryland– you’ll have to pay a $ 6, cash only toll to cross the bridge into Virginia. (No charge to go back into Md, though) I was really looking forward to my first time here the other day, but was very disappointed to see that most of the stuff inside is either handmade crafts, new items, or just.. . junk. Some vendors do have very nice, genuine antiques, but almost seem out of place among all of the flea market-​y crap. Still, the staff was nice and it was fun to look around, but if you’re looking for actual antiques, you’re better off going down the road to Glory Days in Newburg, Md. For about the same prices you’ll find quality things without the thrift store atmosphere.

As the previous poster stated it is essentially an indoor flea market. Some vendors believe their stuff is gold plated and their prices reflect that. Others are very reasonable. Again, just like any flea market.
I enjoy antiques and older collectible things. There seems to be more of the newer collectible types of things popping up there, I hope it is not a trend as I don’t find them appealing.
My experiences there have all been positive, though I don’t always find what I am looking for, I typically always find something of interest.

We’ve been to many antiques shops throughout Virginia, and this one is worth the drive, near or far!

While the place has some decent items, all in all, it’s an upscale flea market. There are some vendors that do stand out with some quality items for a small shop in a small town. Prices are OK.
However, the owners are likely the rudest people I’ve ever met. I visited several weeks ago and found 3 oil lamps I liked. One was $ 375, one was $ 300, and the other I don’t remember. I wanted to make sure they would work in my home before buying. I wanted to purchase 2 of them and drove ~ 1.5 hours to get there before they closed at 5 PM. OK, it was Super Bowl Sunday so I’m sure they wanted to go home and watch the game. This is their business and they can provide bad service if they want. I pull into the lot and go to the door and a women says loudly «we close at 5». I reply, it’s 4:52 so I have 8 minutes and know exactly what I want. She said «no, you have 3 minutes. I go in a man’s say’s we’re closing. I said, no problem, there are 2 lamps I want and pointed to them. He said «well make it quick». I said sorry, I rushed to get there and wanted to pay for them. He said I should have come early and he was «sorry that I didnt agree with their hours». Again I apologized… it was now 4:56. I just needed to pay for them. He mumbled something and I told him to forget it. I asked him to tell the dealer that he basically refused to sell $ 675 worth of items to me since it was 4 minutes to closing.
If you can get there 2 hrs before closing (so by 3 PM), it may be worth visiting. I really feel bad for the dealers who work so hard to earn a living and then these jack@ss owners treat customers so poorly.
