“I've had Pender's refinish several pieces and their work is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The owner is very engaging and committed to his company's craft. I won't go anywhere else.

“This was quite the surprise! We never would’ve guessed this place was so big. There were so many cool finds, including tons of vintage items and clothes. We had such a fun time browsing and ended up taking home a few goodies, including some beautiful brass planters. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Charlotte is a national treasure and UCC is one of my favorite places. Every trip requires at least three loops through the shop to take in the sights. There is always so much to see! Charlotte has the best inventory and I always leave inspired… if you’re looking for a little (or big) something special, you’ve got to go!!! You’ll leave with fantastic finds and a new friend.”
“Omg! Exactly what I’ve been looking for!! I’d been trying to find an antique store in Raleigh and this one is so perfect. It is BIG, I was there for easily at least an hour just seeing everything they have. Prices are a little high on some things but I can also appreciate the value on so much of their things. I wanted to get so many things but I was on a budget 😭 I ended up getting what I believe is an original 1700s print, and two newspapers, one from 1937 and the other from 1969. Very awesome. I’d been thinking about how cool it would be to get my hands on an old newspaper and I did!
TLDR: a hidden gem with so many gems inside. If you’re like me and are obsessed with old things, go there.”
“Very much enjoyed the display of the antiques and wide selection of furniture! Found a cute pair of earrings. Looking forward to another visit next time I’m in Raleigh.”
“We had an excellent experience working with their team! They bought our Bird Ceramic Candle Holders, Fish Ceramic Candle Holders, and our Hand-Painted Bunnies Ceramic Candle Holders from us. Be sure to stop in :)”
“Cute little place. The best staff. My daughter really enjoyed the locket one of the smallest village helpers helped me pick out. We love this place and will come back.”
“This is a hidden gem in the North Raleigh area located on Durant Rd. This place offers mini antique shops, candle store, pottery store, nursery, paint store, and Blacksmith shop. The atmosphere is fantastic, the owners of each store are very friendly and welcoming. The products offered are beautifully crafted, perfectly curated, and unique. The candle store even offers classes and the lady owner can also tell you about the history of the building. This place is really neat, different in a really good way. So I invite you to stop by and buy from local small businesses.”

“I just spent my afternoon going between the two sister stores, and could not have had more fun! We just happened to find the first store by chance as we were driving on our way to a different store, and just happened to see their sign while waiting at a light. I am SO GLAD THAT WE STOPPED! Each store is AMAZING! Each of their 2 stores is a TRUE antique store- which is a very rare thing to find these days. As my husband said, it’s part antique store, part museum! They had antique chairs made from a tapestry from the 1600’s- unbelievable! They had so many beautiful European antiques, but what makes this place truly unique and special is that their prices were more than fair. I am an antique dealer, myself, and I was able to purchase things at each of their stores that I will be able to resell at my store, which is amazing. Even my husband had fun walking around and looking at all of their beautiful wares, and even found something for himself (which is unusual for him). If I could afford to get rid of everything in my home and furnish my house with their fine antiques, I would be one very happy girl! I can not say enough about the quality of their merchandise, how beautifully it is all displayed, and how truly kind each of the “2 girls” were to my husband and me while we were shopping at their stores! I am planning to come back here often to fill my booths (and my home!) with their treasures.”
“So this place is in an antique shop called Cheshire’s cat. We had a hard time finding it at first because there was no store front anywhere. Glad we found it! The entire antique shop was huge and super cool but this place was our favorites. Lots of vintage books, magazines, and more. If you like historical relics this place is for you!”
“Such a cute spot! Stop by for the perfect little something you never knew you needed!! They have a small selection of clothes, more home decor. I'm definitely going to keep this one in my thrift rotation.”
“It is no longer named antiques emporium. It is now called Chesire Cat Antique Gallery. Very friendly and helpful staff and they do have a small restroom. They also recently added a Christmas shop.”
“We had the BEST time here! Found some killer treasures including some funky clothing and the most amazing dishes on the planet. The staff were fun and helpful. Can’t wait to come back! Thank y’all!”
“This shop is one of the gems of the city. It is down in a dungeonlike space below the block of normal shops at the street level, it stretches forever and you sort of get sensory overload after walking past dozens and dozens of little stalls jam packed with assorted oddities and antiques.”
“Craig did a wonderful job cleaning and restoring my crystal lamps! His attention to detail and the restoration of a lamp is fantastic! I love his shop! He also has many beautiful lamps for sale and a great inventory of high quality shades. I am so glad Craig’s shop is in Raleigh. It is quite a challenge trying to find this type of lamp repair service in Wake County!”
