Cheshire Cat Antique Gallery is Raleigh's oldest antique mall, a huge store with 20,000 square feet of shopping pleasure. It features a very large selection of many lovely items including collectibles, furniture, mid century modern pieces, lighting, vintage clothing, fine and costume jewelry, primitives, Asian items, glassware, art, and a lot more. The space is filled with lots of fun trinkets, classic decor pieces, and vintage gifts across many mini booths, creating a generally fun atmosphere. It is always an absolute pleasure visiting this lovely speakeasy-style thrift store. The business also provides an appraisal service. While some prices are a bit high and the place can get a little muggy or have a strange smell, there is definitely something for everyone. Visitors are required to check purses and backpacks at the counter. The staff is great.
