“First time coming to the shop, absolutely gorgeous set up. Pricing was on point and the staff there were so welcoming and helpful!
I highly recommend this shop for vintage and antiques!! They have a gorgeous pie safe and various primitives!
Plus they have the best selection of Halloween decor!!”
“I love Industrial Treasures, and every time I'm there I see not just one or two new things - more like 1000 that were not there on my previous visit! Anyone looking for that unique piece (including lots of framed art, I might add) for their home will find it here. Plenty of vintage/antique lighting options, plus everything from glass lantern slides to books to jewelry to cast iron pieces to postcards. Magazines, sports memorabilia, cups and saucers, signage, ephemera, vintage toys, glassware, collectibles, stoneware, furniture, even barn ventilators. If you can think of it they probably have one (or a dozen or more). Affordable prices across the board. If you haven't been there - check them out ASAP! One of my favorite businesses in St. Charles!”
“Nothing but the best experiences every time I go there. I live over an hour away and pass many other dealers to drive to this one. Staff is amazing and takes their time with you and answers questions. Highly recommend them.”
“Amazing store! So much jewelry and I got an adorable bracelet for only 6 dollars. Workers were so helpful and genuinely kind even though I'm young, which is rare.”

“A mix of shabby chic and serious antiques. Prices for some items made me cross-eyed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The shabby chic stuff really let the side down. Probably profitable for the owner a let down for the serious antique collector.”
“Prestige Creative Markets has the most fantastic assortment of vendors and goods of any multi- vendor market I've seen! It's my year-round go-to place for shopping for home decor, jewelry, vintage pieces and gifts!”
“Just visited for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of treasures in this seemingly small space! SO many incredible pieces waiting to be discovered. Give yourself plenty of time to explore all the different floors!”

“First time visiting (two Sundays ago) and I loved it! Super cute shop and great prices. The lady that was working was fantastic! So helpful and friendly. I wish I had gotten her name because she really made my visit nice. She helped me find the vintage tablecloth I was looking for and I really enjoyed our chat. I definitely will be back even though it's a bit of a drive. It's worth the trip! Thanks 715! ?”
“This is an awesome little shop. Got a few things my first time in. If you like old monster & horror stuff like me you’ll love this shop. Support small business.”
“Just left the collector's kid and wow what a cool store. They have a wide range of old and new collector inventory. The Service was friendly and they were more than willing to answer any questions I had. Ill definitely be back maybe even tomorrow!”
“Highly recommended. Purchased 100-year-old cabinets expecting to have to do some work on them. I found them in the show room with the pieces already cleaned & restored with fresh stain. The items in their stock are treated like the treasures they are. John provided an excellent experience. He answered all of my questions and gave all the historical information about them. Looking forward to purchase from Ye Olde Shoppe again.”
“I at least come one time a year and I always find beautiful treasures. The staff are very friendly and the place is clean and have a variety of stuff, I usually buy jewelry.”
“Real beautiful consignment shop along side the Fox River. A variety of eclectic things that include user friendly stains and colored powders to make paints. Best parking would be limited street parking or one of two lots at the parks. The lot in front of the store too small for me. Ramp to front door. Nice owners. Great place!”
“All staff was superrrrrr nice here. Super good vibes. They offered little snacks and did a free trivia giveaway. Prices are more than reasonable. Had a great experience here! ?”

“I was very impressed by Kathryn and her staff's outstanding customer service, flexibility, and personalized attention, when I had to special order some products. I love the decor and unique items in the store, which make beautiful gifts. I highly recommend Bench492!”
“Such a charming antique shop with an incredible selection of vintage and antique jewelry - brooches galore, bracelets, earrings, and unique pieces everywhere. I loved that most items were out in the open for touching and exploring, with fun low-price trays and bins mixed in with tagged treasures. The staff (two wonderful women) were so kind and engaging - we had a fun conversation about the shop.
Unfortunately, the ringing-up process was frustrating and felt chaotic. Purchases were split by dealer, but without a clear tally or saved tags, double-checking was nearly impossible (tags got mixed with others from earlier sales). It left me unsure if the final total was accurate - $95 or $115 makes a difference! I wish there was a better system for transparency.
I adore the nostalgic, hands-on feel here and the amazing inventory, but the checkout experience might keep me from returning soon. They also put all of my pieces ($111 worth of jewelry) into one organza bag- nothing was protected. Still recommending for anyone who loves digging through real antiques!”

“Cute shop nestled between several great restaurants in the downtown Bartlett area! Great furniture pieces in there and at very affordable prices! I was very surprised how fair the prices were for the solid wood furniture!”
“This delightful antique store, housed in a charming old house, is a truly enchanting experience. The owner's warm hospitality and wealth of knowledge made my visit even more enjoyable. The collection of vintage jewelry and art is simply exquisite, each piece telling its own unique story. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just browsing, this is definitely a must-visit destination for anyone with a penchant for timeless treasures. Highly recommended!”
“Friendly people inside with a pretty sizeable selection of various goods from different years. Several vendor booths some with sales and some with normally low prices it seems.”
“We love this store! I have bought everything from outdoor furniture to paintings and it’s always so clean, organized and inviting.
The staff is always kind and helpful.”
“Tired of following signs that advertise 'ANTIQUES' only to find a buiding full of Beanie Babies, 1970s kitchenware, and your high school yearbook? Sign of the Whale offers none of that. What you will find are authentic antiques - not reproductions - pleasingly displayed in a clean and organized setting. The owners are knowledgeable and friendly and I'll be stopping there whenever I am near Glen Ellyn.”

“This is a beautiful shop with many candles, decorative items, and furnishings. The prices are a bit high, but the quality of the products seemed to be decent. The historic old home is the best part!”
“An Actual Antique Store
When they say antique, they mean it. The store owner was lovely, and honestly, I wouldn't mind coming here more often. I live far away, but she was very knowledgeable and got some connections. If you are looking for period pieces, vintage, or just quality, come her. She also got the hottest tea about history and the latest on who's who in vintage.”
