The gentleman that greeted my daughter and me was courteous and friendly. He spent a good while explaining the provenance of the beautiful crystal Czech Christmas trees. Though we told him we were "just looking" he couldn't have been kinder. We had a wonderful time there and felt that we had seen an enchanting art exhibit. The antiques and collectibles are lovely and nicely curated.

If I could give this store negative stars I would. The rudest staff I’ve ever met. I was yelled as a 40 Year old woman for picking up a piece to look at pricing. Like literally the woman screamed at me! Why do you have pricing on a sticker on the bottom of pieces? I am not a child looking at antiques. It was a terrible atmosphere. They would rudely tell people to leave if they were only looking. I planned on purchasing a christmas jewel tree and I would never go back there. The woman sitting at the desk by the fireplace/mantle is a snooty nasty human.

I had passed this antique shop from time to time over the last few years always admiring the window displays but the last time I had gone in was years ago. I stopped by the shop yesterday and even though it was closing time - 5:00pm - and the owner (Lynda) was at the front door, she welcomed me right in. The shop has an impressive selection of majolica pottery and crystal Christmas trees. Lynda was so friendly and knowledgeable. We chatted about American art pottery companies and what we were collecting and she showed me the various fruit patterns of an entire group of 20 French majolica plates. My husband then joined me in the shop, and I showed him the plates and we also looked at some of the Christmas trees (he knows how much I love Christmas as a holiday) and Lynda explained some of the details of the history and workmanship.As we were in the last room, my eyes landed on a bolt of 1950’s vintage Swedish fabric. It was beautiful, like new condition (see photo below) and perfect for a pair of cushions for a vintage George Nakashima chair which I had left at the upholsterer for months. We bought the fabric and will come back to get a Christmas tree.

When I entered this pricey, chock-a-full shop in search of Chinese porcelain to add to my collection, I was “greeted” by a woman who immediately yelled at me for touching a plate (all the price labels were on the back) and whose nasty response to a question on the plate’s age was “I am an expert on porcelain and I can’t possibly tell you all I know).All this happened within about 2 minutes of crossing the threshold.I felt like I’d been slapped.I left.The plate stayed .I don’t think I’ve ever been treated sounkindly or unprofessionally in any shop anywhere.

They don't want to sell, they miss treat customers constantly, which makes me think this is some type of front for something, hopefully they will get caught soon.

I was interested in one of the crystal Christmas decorations on a mantle. I wanted to see the side, but when I touched it, she yelled “Don’t pick that up!” I was a bit stunned, and managed to say that I wasn’t going to pick it up, but she cut me off by snapping “I personally don’t care.” I would never give a penny to that woman — worst shopping experience of my life.

I would have loved to seen how nice this store was but as soon as we entered the store I picked up an item to see how much it was and immediately got yelled at. "Do not touch anything, there are signs everywhere!" There was no sign where I was so I was unaware of this. I wouldn't recommend this place just due to the snooty staff. They treated us like scum. It was absolutely ridiculous. If it was a kid then sure but I'm a grown adult.

Incredible collection of Czech crystal Christmas trees, probably the best in the world. Always worth a visit.

One of the best sources for Chinese Export, along with others ceramics and small antiques, in the country. Willauer is extremely knowledgeable and happy to share her expertise with those who wander in.
