On our way to dinner in Williamsburg while visiting family nearby, we stopped at The Velvet Shoestring to check on their latest antiques and consignment pieces. My sister has scored several niece paintings and decor accessories here over the years, and I was close to purchasing a beautiful dining room set a few years ago that was offered at an incredible price. But for the shipping issues, it would be in my Bucks County home today. We were free to wander around the crammed warehouse-like space without disturbance from staff. I found several Asian pieces (wood carved, metal cast, crystal and pastel ceramic) that were tempting and priced to sell. Didn't pull the trigger because I needed more time to consider which would be best at home. But, still had a good time searching, and may give them a call about safe packaging for the two I am most attracted by. No doubt, we will be visiting again this year (2024), and will stop in again, so even if those things are gone, there will be new and perhaps even better ones to capture my imagination.

We've been enjoying the Velvet Shoestring for more than 15 years, both consigning and buying. The selection is always great with the fast turnover in inventory, the delivery guys are always on time and careful, and Mary Jo and Joanne are terrific. It's our favorite store in Williamsburg!

I am working on my home and decided to get rid of a lot of antiques knowing my kids will never want - As i walked into this lovely antique shop it was well represented, very clean and made this transaction easy and effective. I highly recommend putting out your antiques on consignment and let them handle the business end- Thanks for a great job well done! 50% back

This is a nice, somewhat large consignment store but in my opinion is just too expensive. I saw many nice items, although nothing unusual, but everything I saw was much higher than I expected it to be, except for 2 items. One was a very small short and chipped marble pedestal for a bit more than $100 and a statue I already own they had for $79. I also saw it in Richmond for $135 recently so I guess $79 is cheap. My mother got it years ago at a garage sale. A painting I liked was $600. Everything I saw seemed to be hundreds. Williamsburg has a reputation as an overpriced tourist destination, so maybe that explains the prices. A very similar consignment store in Greater Richmond has I think a better selection of items and is more reasonably priced. I wouldn't stop in this place again.

The Velvet Shoestring is a wonderful place to find just the perfect piece for your home. Go frequently because they have a fantastic turnover and there are always new pieces to consider. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very nice place with lots of antiques most items have a very healthy price tag on them. I recommend going to see all of the pieces from years past, however it is not a place to go if you are on a budget

What an interesting consignment shop. Very high quality. Mostly home furnishings and accessories. Interesting to note that some items are marked with dates at which their price will be reduced. But, if course, you risk missing out on an item if you wait.and it sells before the price drops

Personally, not my kind of place because I'm not really looking to buy used furniture or knick knacks. However, for somebody that is looking there is a really huge selection of items here in all kinds of styles. This the kind of store that just keeps going and going going once you get inside. They do have a markdown policy based on how long the item has been on hand.
