Antiques in Hamden, CT

“I bought a pinball machine off of FB Marketplace and the ball return and ball count were broken. I called Tony and he was able to fix everything in a day! He is so nice and does a wonderful job. I just got done playing my pinball machine and it works like new! 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again Tony!”

“Don is an absolute legend. So many antique galleries are little more than junk shops or thrift stores–not Don’s though. His collection is truly unique. His space is filled with an eclectic assortment of high-end art, antiquities, furnishings, vintage tin and cast iron toys, bronze sculptures, antique sports memorabilia, pottery, fine carvings, jewelry, cultural artifacts and much more. While his core competency is his museum quality collection of masterful paintings and visual art, it’s worth mentioning that maybe the finest items in his shop aren’t “things” at all–rather they’re pieces in the library of Don’s mind. He has an incredible knowledge base and an equally impressive network of contacts that make him an ideal reference if you're looking to sell, and that continue to yield him quality pieces to enrich your space if you're looking to buy.”

“If you are looking for vintage tools, machines, or any industrial items, materials, parts, work benches, or any of the thousands of incredible things ,then this place is absolutely amazing!Just know that this is not Ikea or Harbor frieght- the vast assortment of items here at brooksvale artisans are dusty, dirty, and stacked and piled in a way that those who know the awesomeness of what we have can appreciate.We go far and get dirty ourselves in finding and aquiring these items and we pride ourselves in being able to tell you the purpose, and history , of everything we offer.We are here for those of you who appreciate and love what we have and for those people who appreciate finding and buying the exact tool , work bench , or machine, that they need for their business to get the job done.Lastly, for those of you like the obnoxious and belligerent woman who threatened us with horrible reviews on every social media platform today because SHE mistakenly read information wrong and could not have things as she demanded- well, hopefully you and your therapist can work on your bitterness and anger and sense of entitlement. If you work your issues out, and your therapist thinks it's ok for you to return to the scene of your meltdown, come on back and I'm sure we can come to terms on the item you so much wanted.BROOKSVALE ARTISANS - WE AIM TO PLEASE.”
