Sherman’s Antiques

Hanari Solomon

A little disappointed by the etiquette shown by one of the building managers when I went in the other day. I'm a historical costuming specialist and sometimes I stop in to the antique stores in the area to look for items or inspiration. I've frequented this antique store before and found and was given the opportunity to purchase an absolutely gorgeous vintage 1800's wedding gown. It was truly a too good to be true find and I've been coming back regularly since. However, my most recent visit left a sour taste in my mouth, and I can only accredit it to the poor behaviour and condescending tone of a manager I experienced when I came in looking for gloves. When I walked in and asked about clothing he told me very rudely "We're not a closet.", Which, yes I understand, but I also understand that clothing is an important part of antique history, and as every booth is individually owned I knew there was a small chance I could buy something. I walked by a display and offhandedly commented on something that I personally collect being a bit overpriced, and he became very short and quipped with me, saying in short terms that I don't know what I'm talking about, saying the person who put it out knows better than me, and calling me "Sweetheart" several times in a very condescending tone. I felt very looked down on and patronized while looking for what I thought was a simple item to find. I am young, so I understand it may be difficult to believe someone like me knows about anything regarding antiques, but I felt like he was upset for me being there. The woman who led me around was fantastic and very understanding and we talked about 1800's glassware collections. She was a gem. They have a dog mascot for the building and they are the sweetest little thing. I really like this location and I really like the variety they have to offer, but the condescending treatment I faced from that one manager left a sour taste in my mouth. I was afraid I offended him but, really all I was looking for was a pair of gloves. I hope that next time if/when I come in looking for something I'm knowledgeable about, I'm treated like an equal, or god forbid a respectable customer, instead of a burden.

Very nice place for antiques. The gentleman working there are both knowledgeable and polite

Sara Smith

Very clean and organized. The prices seem to be steadily increasing, so it is really hit or miss across the booths. World's largest collection of fake grapes.

Frank Howard

Very nice selection of antiques but very overpriced. The man behind the counter was extremely rude. He tried to overcharge us and then blamed it on the tag was hard to read which wasn't the case as the other gentleman behind the counter was able to read the correct price.
