“No one else would even touch my steamer trunk project. Wade surpassed my expectations bringing this trunk back to life after it spent 50+ years in a shed in Mississippi!”
“Tricia's Treasures had a lot to check out when we visited today. There was a lot of furniture and smaller items to browse. You should check it out when you are in the area!”
“I had a bit of time before my hair cut at French and Towers this morning. Wanted to kill some time and decided to pop into Antique Market on Linden. What a hidden gem this spot is. It's located right next door to Caveat Coffee and has so much to look at. From furniture, kitchen ware and even some self care there is so,etching for everyone. Since I was just killing so,e time, I did not take the time I wanted and needed to really appreciate the shop, but from what I did see, this was a fantastic spot. I was greeted by two employees inside, they asked if I was looking for anything, but I was not. Just looking around. I did feel however that there were eyes on me at all times. Overall, cool spot. Lots to look at and appreciate. Will I go back... not so sure, but happy I gave it a chance when I did.”

“As a fellow handmade rug business owner, I deeply appreciate the quality and uniqueness at Henhouse Antiques. Their curated collection and super-friendly staff made my visit 10/10. It's clear they share a passion for craftsmanship and history. Highly recommend for anyone who values charm and quality :)”
“I was visiting Birmingham from out of state and I'm so glad I stopped at Urban suburban antiques. They had so much amazing stuff. It's a great place to find mid century modern items in great condition and tons of vinyl records. Everything was a fantastic price, definitely one of the cheaper and better antiques in the area. Will come again when I'm in the area”
“One of the most fabulous thrifts stores that I have ever been in! I've been thrifting since I was a child (in the 70's & 80's) along with all over the country, throughout the years, including when I lived in Southern Cali (I'm from Wisconsin) And by far, this truly is the best. The people are sweet. The selection is eclectic & fabulous along with exceptional organization! It's a beautiful hidden gem where you never know what you are going to find.”

“I found a really neat item in this Antique Mall, Lot of items to look at, great experience, seems the store has received some bad reviews by some for some really strange reasons. Go there and have a beer at the downtown micro brews!”

“It is a cozy antique store located in the old Piggly Wiggly building in Bluff Park. There is great looking Amish furniture and antiques available for purchase. If you happen to be in Bluff Park looking for antiques, this is the place for you. If you are hungry afterwards, the Electric is right around the corner.”
“I have an oil-on-canvass painting in an antique-looking gold frame that was missing a piece of the moulding at lower right corner (see the gaping hole on the frame in Pic1). So I visited Christopher House Antiques in Birmingham, Alabama, and spoke to Mr. Stephen Kao, its owner. He is such a nice gentleman, and very pleasant to talk to. He examined the frame and said he would be able to repair it. Basically he made a copy of the moulding pattern from another part of the frame and inserted it into the gaping hole, and touched it up as needed with gold paint. Now the frame looks fantastic (see Pic2), and I can’t even tell if it ever had a gaping hole ! I highly recommend Mr. Stephen Kao and his Christopher House Antiques for repairing antique pieces including frames and art pieces. He told me he also repairs antique furniture.”
“Mr. Pyle was such a friendly and cordial gentleman to me. He was so knowledgeable and informative on clocks and so willingly to explain everything about my clock. He told me things about it that I would never have known. That meant so much to me. I certainly do highly recommend him to everyone needing clock work. You will be very happy you chose him. His charge was much LESS than I had anticipated .”

“This place is huge!!! I visited with friends and we were very motivated to see everything -- but we had no idea how much that would be! Upstairs, downstairs, the collector's nook... all good. My friends and I have different tastes, and we all found something to love. The booths are well curated and seem to have a high standard of presentation, which is always nice. The staff was friendly and gave us some good advice about where to find things we were looking for; they know their stuff! Will definitely visit again.”
“This is absolutely my favorite store in Homewood. Drew and his associates provide the best service all the way around. His prices are awesome and he always has 1000 things I want. Whenever I am in town, I head straight to Argents.”
“Spending time in this store is like going on a fail proof treasure hunt. You might not find exactly what you're looking for, but will always encounter something interesting and dear.”
“A few of my friends & I came antiquing today & my sugar started to bottom out (I have sugar issues) & one of the sweet ladies at the front went to her car to get me her own personal snacks! Such a sweet lady. And on my birthday too :)”
