Canal Street Antique Mall

Great place for treasure hunting, 2 floors loaded with 70 dealers, differently put on your to do list

I like exploring these antique markets, which are more of a blend of thrift and antique. They have dozens of vendors who sell here, and there is new merchandise week to week. The staff there are very helpful and friendly. To the individual who felt as though he was being followed or accused to being a thief, it is standard protocol for many of these antique markets to bring your items to the counter for you, one reason, there are many vendors who sell their items at these markets and all too often a patron will change their mind about purchasing an item and just place it anywhere in the store instead of putting it back in it’s proper place. This place is similar to the one in Cambridge with lots of random items and something for everyone. Sort like treasure hunting but no pressure at all. Last week they had some complimentary homemade soup in the lobby and it was amazing!

Huge building with lots of vendors and good variety. While prices are the standard variety with some booths higher than others, there’s always a deal to be found.

I have always liked this place, until today 5÷3÷15.
The week prior I spent a large sum of money on a piece of furniture, I’m in there at least once a week giving this place business, well not anymore.
They seem to have adopted a new policy of following customers around, I picked up a old tea kettle and wanted to purchase it, well I noticed a very fat blotchy gentleman hovering a round me, when he saw I was holding onto the kettle he approached me and said that would take the kettle from me and bring it to the check out. Well to me that is calling me a thief, I gave him the kettle and said well I guess I’m done shopping, I wasn’t done but his actions forced me to be done. I kinda felt like a common criminal being watched and not trusted, it’s a shame I’ve always supported this business.

I could spend hours in there, so much stuff and plenty of free parking. Worth the drive!

Stopped in there on a weekend to see if they would be interested in buying some antique furniture that i need to sell (because moving from area). Employee or person in charge with big untrimmed mustache asked what I had to sell, and showed him pictures of what I had. He said they looked like they were very nice and asked me what I was asking. I said I was not sure, but seen some prices on craigslist and was willing to sell for less than half of that. His reply was «u don’t want to hear my price» Then I asked, «well, what is your price/​? and he repeated «u don’t want to hear my price» and rudely walked away. I was standing there dumbfounded at his rudeness. That was my first and LAST visit to that antique place, and I am an avid antique fan and frequent many places.

I love it here! I live in Los Angeles, but whenever I visit at home, i always make time to stop off here to see what’s new. It’s so large that the prices are mixed, but you’ll ALWAYS find great deals and some really cool items. Also, you’ll find many of the vendors having % off their booth sales. It’s a really great place.

so basically I shopped and ate today! Three consignments stores and breakfast so this review will be short!
Lots to look at, kinda pricey, some very unique pieces. I look forward to their auction in November to see what thats like.

If you are searching for antiques (or used furniture), it is definitely worth a visit. With over 50 dealers, plan on spending at least an hour or more to browse through everything (or 10 to 15 minutes of your lunch hour for a few days in a row). Everything is there, from flea market stuff to 18^th Century items. There is a second area in the building that is part of the business where antique and used furniture at very reasonable prices can be purchased. Discounts are available for the asking. The staff is extremely nice and very knowledgeable. There was a dresser that we wanted to buy, but I knew it would not fit in my car. Fortunately, I mentioned to the manager that we would return with a friend’s vehicle to buy and pick it up. It was then that I learned that they deliver for a fee. (The fact that they did deliver was not posted anywhere). So if you need an item delivered, it can be arranged. The only other minor problem was parking. There are about 20 spaces in front of the building. The day we visited, all the spaces were occupied. We had to park in back and walk around to the front. (There should be a back entrance.) We almost decided not to visit, but afterward we were very glad we did!

I frequently visit and the inventory is always different. The prices tend to be very reasonable and the selection is quite diverse. I have picked up some very interesting pieces here. Mostly antiques with some collectibles.
We go antiquing all the time and this place is one of the more interesting venues in the valley.
Its near the train station so it would probably make a great ½ day trip from Boston, and just off 495 if traveling by car.
Be sure to poke around the obscure corners, thats were some of the real interesting stuff can be found. The owners are nice and have answered many questions for me, including how to best repair broken vintage pieces.

Not a bad antique mall. Dennis and I stopped in on a snowy Sunday morning to browse.
Housed in an old mill, this mall has 50+ vendors. Furniture, art, dishes, home and garden, junk and all kinds of items from yesteryear.
One can spend a good hour just going through. Also on the other end of the mill, the same owners have more (just furniture and art) all the way down the long hallway.
Prices are fair to decent. I got a nice Italian pottery pitcher for $ 6.
Parking is in a very narrow side lot next to the building along Canal street.
