Oriental Antique & Art

I must have met a different person than the previous reviewer, which is totally possible.
I stopped in here while browsing other shoppes next door and was greeted and had a really nice conversation with the gentleman behind the front desk.
Among his really unique and varied items from all over the world, he has some amazing beads and creates some really beautiful necklaces and bracelets in his spare time. Most of the beads are of semiprecious stones, and he knows all about them and where they come from.
He showed me around and told me a little about the history and places of where the items came from. I liked that he was so knowledgeable and really interested in the artwork and objects in his place.
They did also have a few estate pieces, jewellery wise, which were fun. There are also rugs and furniture in the rear of the store. Seems just from glancing around, all countries and areas of interest have a representative in this collection of pretty things. (I saw everything from flow blue to nautical!)
All in all, I’d stop in if you’re in the area. There’s a lot to see!

Note: please read my 1-​star review as truly a zero-​star rating.
I visited this shop with my father, in hopes of finding décor for my upcoming wedding. We got toward the back of his shop where there’s a doorway leading into another room with more antiques which were (very clearly) on sale– they had price tags and there was no signage suggesting it was a restricted area. Upon entering the back room, the store associate (owner?) yelled, «What are you doing back there? There’s nothing for you there.»
I asked, «Are these items not for sale?»
His response (still yelling from his front desk):
«I don’t know what you even want or what you’re looking for. There’s nothing for you here.»
My father and I made our way back to the front, and I said, «I see this isn’t the best place for me to spend my money.»
He then went on to point toward his security camera system and said, «You see? I have cameras everywhere. I see everything.»
Thumbs up, asshat. Good for you.
On a more objective note– The store had well-​curated stock, but overpriced. I recommend going to Alabama Antiques around the corner for a more welcoming environment that offers AMAZING deals.
