Two Sisters Antiques & Collectibles

I went in to browse, and at first it seemed like a nice place. It’s pretty packed and a bit hard to maneuver around the store, but there were some interesting pieces. As other reviewers mentioned, the owners do follow you around to make sure you aren’t stealing.
I picked up two old books that I was interested in. Both books had a price of a few dollars written on the inside cover. When I reached the register, I was laughed at and told that those were not the prices and that those prices were from the 1800s when the books were published. Interesting that books in the 1800s cost a few dollars, seems a bit of a stretch given inflation. The woman joked about a customer who was very upset when he was told that a book that was labeled a few dollars actually cost $ 500. She then looked up the prices of the books. I assumed this meant going into a database to look up the price, but this actually meant searching on Google. She couldn’t find the exact books on the internet and concluded that the books were «very rare» and were probably worth several hundred dollars.
I can only speak to my experiences with books here — many of the other items were labeled with prices, but they did seem overpriced. I was not impressed with the business practices at this store and do not recommend it to the casual antiquer.

Avoid! These two ladies are frightening, wildly rude and they follow you around like they assume you are a crook. I frequent the area and have stopped in maybe 4 – 8 times over the years but their behavoir is just very odd. And one of them smokes in the store doorway making coming and going an unpleasant experience. Last time I was there they kept me blocked inside as one of them pawed through some junk some would be seller was trying to sell just inside the narrow doorway. One tip: EBay.

I dropped in to this shithole with our 8-​yr old daughter about 6 years ago, the first week they opened, to buy a little porcelain doll. Haven’t been back since. These dolls go for $ 20 tops and the lady wanted $ 100. Huh? So I tell my husband and he goes in a day later to check it out. He sees a hammer, basic hammer, nothing special. No price on it so he asks how much? $ 35. These two foul-​mouthed (yes, we overheard foul language as well), cigarette smoking hacks apply whatever knowledge they do have of antiques to maximize profits and get over on their customers. They are rude, untidy, and an embarrassment to West Medford Square. Clean up your act and be decent to people or please get out. I’m surprised there aren’t more negative comments about this place. Oh, and stop wearing white tank tops to work and hanging around on the curb smoking.

This place is the pits. The staff here are unbelievably rude, and they basically are selling junk at mark-​up prices. I can’t wait for the day for this place to disappear.

Had a bunch of items that I was looking to get rid of for my mother. She is downsizing and there were some collectibles she just couldn’t keep. They helped us and were fair even though the market is terrible for such items.
They also helped by buying some jewelry she had but would never wear again. Gave a fair price for the gold and make the transaction simple.
Worth stopping by if you have some jewelry or want to check out a wide range of furniture, antiques and collectibles.

Something for everyone! Sisters were very helpful in assisting me in finding the perfect gift for my friends who were getting married. They picked two perfect items that I liked so much I got both. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely support this local business again!

This was my second time in the shop. First time was neither good or bad, but I didn’t buy anything– I did remember feeling like everything was quite expensive for a thrifty looking store.
I stopped in again after browsing some other consignment shops looking for a very small piece of artwork. Something to fill in an art wall for a client, so it need not be of any provenance — just original. I found a couple pieces no more than an 8×10″ size. I asked how much one of them was and she told me $ 500! Ok, if its really a known artist — then its worth something, but she couldn’t tell me anything about it. I was looking in the $ 50 – 100 range, and she rudely said I wouldn’t find any art in the shop for that price. When I asked her about the price on the second item, she said «I don’t know» call me in a hour after I look into it”.
She also said they don’t just buy anything, but to my eye (which is a trained eye), much of it IS overpriced junk. There is a saying that something is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. If looks like a thrift shop, smells like a thrift shop… well you know the answer here.
I will not be going back and certainly won’t be recommending it to any clients.

This shop is chockablock with treasures — need a vintage light fixture? a sparkly cocktail ring? a mid-​century sofa? The two sisters have them (well maybe not the sofa, it’s in my living room.) Their inventory is amazing & spans styles/​periods/​continents. Definitely stop in, introduce yourself, and find some amazing treasures!

Sauntered in here the other day to see if they had any furnishings for the new crib. The lady practically kicked my arse out! I explained the aforementioned situation, my wife and I just moved, looking for a corner table maybe… She said they’re painting the walls of the other half of the store, and there’s more in there. She suggested I come in with the wife instead. HEY! how do you know I’M not the one making the decorating decisions here? Sorry to catch you when you didn’t feel like talking to a customer… maybe next time put the «Back in a half hour» sign up on the door.
Randomly she had a Squire (made by Fender, not bad but not as good as a real Fender) bass guitar for sale… I asked how much, she said $ 400. She will be lucky to get $ 180 as that’s what they go for. PEACE I’M OUTTA HERE
I understand you’re painting and I don’t fit the stereotype of an antique shopper, but don’t rush me out, devil woman!

One would call the sisters «comically rude,» if it were funny, but it is not.

I love antique shops, particularly the kind that are jumbled, a little dusty, and remind me of somebody’s grandma’s attic. The fact that this place is, in fact, run by two sisters plays even more into my idealized version of antique stores.
Mostly filled with furniture and glasswares, there is a selection of jewelery and the occasional dress and hat collection. I have yet to afford or have space for heavy delicate pieces of furniture so unfortunately I don’t pay much attention to that stuff, but I have found some cool necklaces and one of the sisters readily gave me a discount on a fake pearl necklace after I hesitated over some faded looking beads.
