Turn of the Century Antiques

Don’t waste your time with this place! Horrendous service! I walked in and there wasn’t anyone around to greet me or say hi. There was a younger woman taking dolls out of a box and she glanced at me but never said a word. Then this other lady walked out from around the corner and just looked at me with a look that made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. She finally asked if I needed help and I explained why I was there. Long story short, she flat out said my family’s stuff that I was inquiring about was worthless. I understand that there are things that aren’t as valuable as other things, but there’s a way to tell someone that and she failed, miserably. My advice to them: Greet everyone with a smile no matter what they look like and learn how to speak to people when it comes to telling them their stuff isn’t as valuable as they had thought. Again, don’t waste your time here. There are a number of antique stores in that area, go to one of those instead, trust me!

Neon open sign on. Person Inside. Door locked… Two stars for looking like a store I would enjoy. –3 for neon open sign while door is locked and women inside behind the counter just glaring…

Lovely people to deal with! The shop has exceptional dolls and doll related items, and the staff is very helpful, in everything that they do!
I would definitely visit the shop again when I’m in Denver!

On a stretch of South Broadway packed with antique shops, Turn of the Century Antiques stands out for its great inventory and its owners’ commitment to the success of the neighborhood. Rachel works tirelessly to promote the LoBro area and its small business owners. A fabulous store with a truly great vision for the future of this historic neighborhood!

Highly Recommend this store has parking out front their beautiful store very nice!
The ladies are very nice and patient with me as I was taking much time they have such a great selection and I found many choices love this store!

I have been purchasing Dolls from Diane and staff for a number of years. Their quality is wonderful. The clothing just as it should be. The staff of course are helpful and knowledgeable. I would never hesitate to buy from her website. The Dolls are just as advertised. I would encourage everyone while in the area to stop in and view and learn.
See you in Texas in July.
Fondly,

I had a late flight out of Denver on October 3, 2013 so I thought I’d drop by this shop to buy some dolls.
I walked in and my first impression was that it was so crowded with «stuff». You could barely walk in the door. However, when I did make it past the entry, a woman looked up from behind a counter and looked at me… just looked. I spoke first and greeted her. Most of the dolls were inaccessible from the «stuff» in the way. No one spoke to me or asked if I needed any assistance. Granted, I may have just spent 2 weeks in the mountains but I had plenty of money to spend. I collect French Fashion Dolls. Need I say more?
At this point someone delivered lunch to the 3 people working behind their desks. And there they sat! Eating and working on computers. Not one person got up and assisted me!
When I did find an item I was interested in I was told, «Oh, that isn’t marked yet». So, I guess there was no one there qualified to appraise this item. In other words, they did not want to sell me something. Absurd!
I’m in Denver quite a bid and I will not be returning to this store. They seem not to value customers.

I had a few old dolls that my grandmother’s mother had handed down to me and I was looking to sell them or at least figure out what they were worth. I searched multiple stores on Broadway and found Turn of the Century to be the most knowledgeable and give the fairest/​best offer.
I was greeted kindly at the door by one of the employees who offered me something to drink since it was really hot out. (very nice of them since they totally went out of their way to get me a bottle of water) They handled my dolls very respectfully and inspected them carefully. A young lady behind the counter was very knowledgeable and described to me in detail the history of the doll and what she thought it was worth based off the condition. The owner of the store gave me very reasonable prices (i had researched them and compared them to the other stores).
Everyone was very respectful, very professional and I had a wonderful experience. Will definately shop here again!

I went into this store looking to sell some old toys, specifically some 1950’s Barbies and a train set. I walked up to the counter and was seen by the lady behind the counter (whom I later found out was the co-​owner of the store, along with her husband). She stated she would be with me in a minute. That would be perfectly fine if she were helping another customer, or actually doing some work, but instead she was clearly gossiping with another woman about that woman’s relationship.
After standing there for several minutes, another, younger girl (apparently the owner’s daughter) came over to see if she could help. I explained my purpose for being there, however, this girl didn’t have the first clue how to help me, so she asked her mother to help. The mother became very defensive for having been interrupted from her gossip session, and with much attitude said, «I said I’d help her in a minute!» The mother and daughter proceeded to argue right there in the open for a good 2 minutes.
Just as I was about to take my things and leave, another woman said that she could take a look at the Barbies, and have the owner (referring to the husband) take a look at the train set. Both items were handled very poorly, with complete disregard that I was attempting to get these items sold in the excellent condition that I had kept them. I was shocked at how brutish the employees of an antique store handled these items.
After a quick glance, it was determined that they could not buy the train set. Fair enough. However, after close scrutiny of the Barbie dolls, the woman attempted to grossly undersell me. I had done my research and knew very well how much the dolls should go for, and opted for selling them at an antique store, rather than hassling with eBay. However, it seems as though with the rude and unprofessional demeanor of the employees of Turn of the Century Antiques, eBay is definitely the way to go.
