Whitehall At the Villa Antiques

This is a spectacular antique store in the old Villa Teo building. It is more like going to a museum and is a place you could spend some time inside and out, just chilling. I understand from staff that the owners go to England and France wow ice a year and fill up shipping containers and bring them back. Prices are for the higher end market but the assets reek of authenticity. I will be back again.

Great antique store. Lots of variety. High quality and unusual pieces. Not a junk store. A real antique store. Anyone looking for something special and a nice browse should stop in. Friendly proprietors.

This place is surprising. Don’t let the ugly, low quality sign out front confuse you. My wife and I stumbled in here after picking up some coffee at Café Driade (it is right next store, kind of hidden in the bushes). This is not the type of place you carry coffee around in.
The building itself is like a bizzaro museum. It is breathtaking. Seriously, this place is so freaking cool. There are three stories of eclectic architecture cobbled together from a couple of OLD buildings in Durham. It feels like you’re in an old money crazy person’s Victorian era fantasy world somewhere in Europe. There is a conservatory in the center of it all, with a tropical palm that towers the full three stories above a perfect little pond. I’m CERTAIN there are hidden passageways and secret doors in this place that undoubtedly lead to mysterious chambers where all manner of twisted and delightful treasures were once stored and insane rituals took place. This is the closest I’ve come to my dream house in real life.
The antiques themselves are very high-​end 200 year old Victorian stuff. There are $ 20,000 sideboards mixed in with $ 2,000 lamps. A lot of the stuff has obviously had damage restored, which seems reasonable considering the age, and the fact it is a hidden antique shop in Chapel Hill.
Check this place out. You will not be dissappointed.
