“Beautiful shop, with a friendly owner and beautiful baby dog.
This store is full of unique and elegant items which are well priced. The owner is really welcoming and the overall ambience is lovely”
“100+ reviews and a perfect 5.0 rating? That's crazy. But if any store can do it, I'm not surprised it's Diehl Marcus.
The decor is the first thing you notice, and it's absolutely flawless. Wood molding, dark paints, curio cases with antique and odd objects. It perfectly sets the tone for the shop.
The shop specializes in teas and candles, mostly. The tea varieties are wide and delicious. They even have tea bricks, the type which were historically used for transportation of tea. The candles smell so good, are utterly distinctive, and are absolutely loaded with fragrance. They transform a room.
Even though those are the main products, though... It doesn't really feel like that. Yes, they have accessories, tea infusers, soaps that smell like the candles, shaving supplies... But even that doesn't to D&M justice. It's like every little corner and nook you look in has something fascinating. Maybe it's for sale, maybe it's not. But it makes you want to look and discuss with the staff who are all incredible.
D&M is a shop that does what it set out to do absolutely perfectly.”
“This the only oddity shop you need! There is no lack of fun and ethical goodies in this wonderful store. From prints and stickers to mounted heads you will find what you need. Shoutout Delilah for her help, I’m sure all the staff are as nice and helpful!”
“This store is frankly amazing! It is a store that you must walk through 2 or 3 times in order to take it all in. We bought several items. The best part was talking to the owner before we left. She had many words of wisdom especially regarding her Tibetan culture. The money people leave in the various statues is used to feed the hungry in Tibet. Just the way she described being kind, being thankful and giving back did make me emotional. Fantastic, unique store while supporting kindness. A win, win.”
“Very eclectic shop. Lots of great nautical and hardware items. You definitely should take a few passes through the shop. There's lots of treasures hidden here. And don't forget to look outside the building on both sides. Lots of great yard items out there.”
“This is primarily a shop that displays an impressive number of clocks for sale, and repairs clocks and watches. The gentleman and his wife who own the shop are old school, very charming, and very helpful. The owner/watch-clock repairman only changed my watch battery on the spot for $15, which is a fair price around here. And on a Sunday afternoon at that. But far more interesting and entertaining was conversation with other customers who were there for clocks and were obviously repeat customers. A first-rate place and conveniently located.”

“We stopped here recently while driving through Essex. This is a fun store on the local antique trail. The antiques here tend to be more on the "upper" end, focusing on furniture and artwork. There is parking available out front, and the owner was cheerful and welcoming. Well worth a stop if you're out hunting for antique furnishings. Check out their website for a taste of what they have for sale.”
“This store had a great selection of trinkets and cool items. The man working there (who I am assuming was the owner) was very warm and welcoming. He was more than delightful to give us information about the candles we were looking at. Fantastic service, definitely recommend, 10/10!”
“Great shop! Vinny was incredibly informative and helpful in our search for the perfect map. Would highly recommend this store for those looking for great prints or maps”

“I have bought & sold with David at least a decade. In my opinion he is very talented and connected. His collections quality is very good to great. Highly recommend.”
“Seeing the beautiful dog sleeping in his/her bed while I drive by always makes my day ❤❤ Best view in essex!! Instantly makes my day everytime!”
“Andrew and his shop are delightful. He is exceptionally generous with his knowledge and a true history buff, bringing an infectious enthusiasm to every object in his collection. His shop is well curated, and the prices fairly reflect the high quality of the antiques on offer. As someone newer to investing in high quality antiques, he made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in the shop, even though in the end I didn't make a purchase that day.
I ran into him a week or so after visiting his shop at an antiques fair, and he recognized me immediately, something I would not have expected after my brief one-time shop visit. In an industry that is often associated with gatekeeping and sometimes snobbery, Andrew and his shop are a breath of fresh air. Will definitely be back!”

“We were just passing through on a road trip from South Dakota and decided to stop by the antique mall. We’re so glad we did! If you’re into vinyl, don’t miss Stanley’s record section.
Stanley was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about music. He took the time to chat with us, answer our questions, and helped us find some amazing Bob Seger records we’d been searching for. The selection was great, the prices were very fair, and the whole experience felt personal instead of just another sale.
Thank you, Stanley, for making our stop so memorable. Meeting people like you is one of the best parts of traveling. We hope to make it back someday, and until then, we wish you all the best. Thanks again!”
“Nice shop with a lot of unique, estate-style pieces. There’s a lot to look at, though the space can feel a bit crowded and hard to navigate at times. Prices are on the higher side, but the items are interesting and well curated. Overall, a good place to browse if you enjoy antiques (on the expensive side) and one-of-a-kind finds.”
“The owner is extremely knowledgeable about all of his pieces, which are in excellent condition and lovingly curated. Gorgeous selection of mid-century modern furniture, but also art, home decor, and more.”
“It's the perfect little shop to browse and get lost in. If you're looking for a unique gift, this is the place to come as the prices are very reasonable for some really amazing pieces of jewelry or vintage hats, scarves, pins, too many items to name. If you're looking for something unique for your own home, this is also the place to be as there's something for everyone (tiny figurines, beautiful lamps, furniture, wall-hangings...). Harriet, the owner, is fun and friendly and knowledgable. Everytime I go in there, there's locals and visitors alike, making it feel very worldly yet homey. This place is a gem!”
