“In April 2024, I visited Blue Whale Books. The shop is well organized and has a great selection of quality used books. There is a nice selection of old maps and prints for sale too. I bought an antique 3 volume set of books and the lady who owns the bookstore shipped them for me. Her customer service was great, and these books arrived undamaged because they were packed so meticulously.”

“The best antique shop in Charlottesville by far! I have found so many great things here, above and beyond what I ever expected, and very reasonable pricing on most items! The staff is efficient and friendly, contrary to what some dishonest reviewers have said. I live close to Circa and go frequently. Everyone there is always friendly (and in a good way, not in a pushy annoying way).”

“This charming vintage shop is a true treasure for Charlottesville! Its uniqueness and prime downtown location make it a standout. Although it might be a bit tricky to locate, a quick Google search of the address will lead you to a bounty of fantastic finds. I adore discovering shirts here that perfectly complement my outfits for trips or special dates. My son has also stumbled upon some awesome items, like cool toys and stylish sunglasses. The staff is wonderful and always recognizes us, which adds to the lovely experience!”
“I could have spent hours in this store. What a wonderful blend of the old and new. I went to buy a small hostess gift and ended up with several birthday presents and beautiful small ceramic XMAS trees for myself. Items are reasonably priced and the selection is amazing.”
“Charlottesville is so lucky to have such a fabulous shop…. Best spot in town! Great selection of French and English antiques, both furniture and small finds for any home. Kenny is so warm and friendly, it’s always such a delight to stop in!”
“My wife and I have visited Eternal Attic before and I had the opportunity to spend the day there yesterday. What a hidden treasure this place is! I had a wonderful experience searching through their inventory and talking with the staff. Everyone is so genuine and customer service focused, a skill that is lost in retail these days. Thank you Jane, Sonny and staff!!”
“Husband and I had wonderful experience around Christmas Last year just randomly popping in. Came across a special estate brooch, owner shipped to our home out of state very quickly. Very impressive collection for a small store, tasteful jewelry with hard to find designs. Owner was very kind and lovely, can’t wait to visit Charlottesville again just to go see what’s currently in store.”
“I've shopped at this store for many years since arriving in Charlottesville. The selection of beautifully restored late Ching dynasty pieces is superb and rarely found in this part of the country. The owners are honest, friendly, and provide excellent customer service. I have recommended this unique store through the years to all my friends and family for high quality Chinese gifts and antique furnishings.”
“Geoff is amazing! You must visit this fabulous store when you come to Charlottesville. Bought a ring, earrings and a cloissone piece of pottery. Reasonable prices and cool stuff!”
