Antiques in Tampa, FL

“A very nice and relaxing environment, the restaurant sits next to the Hillsborough river. The staff isnvery friendly and professional. We had some food and a few drinks and enjoyed all of it. Today, it was sunny but cooler than usual. We'll be coming back. If you're visiting Tampa, this is must see place.”

“I had caning done on an antique chair and a bench. Great folks and a pleasure to work with at a resonable price. They did an excellent job for us. Real craftsman.”

“I recently visited La France, and I was thoroughly impressed by the experience from beginning to end. It’s not often that you find a business that combines exceptional service, attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere so effortlessly. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority, and that commitment was reflected in every aspect of my visit.

One of the first things I noticed was how clean, organized, and inviting the establishment was. The environment was comfortable and thoughtfully maintained, creating a pleasant experience for guests. The atmosphere felt both professional and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy my time there. Every detail seemed carefully considered, which immediately gave me confidence in the quality of the business.

The staff was another highlight of my visit. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, courteous, and eager to help. They took the time to answer questions, provide recommendations, and ensure that every customer felt valued. Their professionalism was matched by a genuine enthusiasm that made the experience feel personal rather than routine. It’s always refreshing to encounter a team that truly cares about delivering excellent service.

What stood out most was the quality of everything offered. Whether it was the products, services, or overall presentation, there was a clear commitment to excellence. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it was obvious that a great deal of care goes into maintaining high standards. Every aspect of the experience reflected quality and consistency, which is something that customers greatly appreciate.

Another thing I admired was the efficiency of the operation. Despite being busy, everything ran smoothly and professionally. The team worked together seamlessly, ensuring that customers received prompt attention without feeling rushed. That balance between efficiency and personalized service is not easy to achieve, but La France does it exceptionally well.

The value provided was also excellent. The quality of the experience far exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling that I had received outstanding service for what I spent. Businesses that consistently deliver both quality and value are becoming increasingly rare, which makes La France stand out even more.

Overall, my experience at La France was exceptional. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and commitment to quality created an experience that I genuinely enjoyed. It’s easy to see why customers continue to return and recommend this business to others.

I would happily recommend La France to anyone looking for a business that values professionalism, customer satisfaction, and excellence. My visit exceeded expectations in every way, and I look forward to returning in the future. It’s a place that leaves a lasting positive impression and deserves recognition for the fantastic experience it provides.”

“This little store is amazing. I could get lost looking at all of the historical and vintage pieces for hours. The prices are fair for pieces that have that have such value. I am looking forward to returning.”

“The owner and employees are really great and have been overly helpful on many occasions. I have had a relationship with Vintage Post for over 10 years and have had nothing but awesome experiences with them every time.”

“Awesome book store and really nothing like it in the immediate area. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable of his stock and will work with you on price. I will be back more than once in the future!”

“Very interesting selection of salvaged design & architectural items. Somewhat pricey but they're unusual pieces. Worth a stop if you're looking for unique accent/decorative pieces.”

“The only real antique shop in Tampa. Exquisite 18th, 19th and mid-century modern furniture, decorative and collectibles. This shop offers a wide range of continental Antiques for every taste. Robert and Richard have a depth of knowledge and sense of style that sets them apart. It is an education every time we go in the store and we have done business with them for over 20 years.”

“The best antique shop in Tampa, in my opinion. Skews toward classic and traditional design, but with a mid-century or modern piece every now and then. Chandeliers, garden ornaments, urns, wall decor, upholstered pieces, architectural salvage make for a fun shopping experience. Parking at the door.”

“Amazing, eclectic shop full of wonderful vintage finds at excellent prices. Store owner Vicky is very knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated to her love of vintage. I’m thrilled I found this gem of a shop.”

“I will start by saying Evelene the store Owner and her Husband, are wonderful people to meet, very kind and knowledgeable of what they have in their stores! My wife and I are only temporary in town from Jacksonville for an event here in Tampa for our daughter, so we didn’t have a lot of time to go through everything. I will say things in this store are not cheap, but I do not believe some of the reviews should reflect negative ratings based on their prices, the pieces of history they have in their store are found, cleaned to see their natural beauty and researched for accuracy of pricing and purchase that’s why the prices are where they are at. You can shop here and know what you bought is LEGIT! you can’t do that at 95% of Antique Stores! My wife and I also have an Antique Booth and these beautiful pieces you find at Gaslight Antiques are at the higher end of current retail, so we can not purchase from here in hopes of reselling anything. With that said, we can and will travel back from Jacksonville Florida to see Evelene and her Husband again and purchase some beautiful items for our home! This is the store you can only HOPE to find when you want to purchase some of the most Beautiful Furniture and Chandeliers etc for your home at a reasonable price!

It isn’t easy finds in this store, it takes years and years to find the items in this BEAUTIFUL STORE! And we can’t wait to come back!”
