Kevin Stone Antiques

If I could give zero stars I would. The owner is cranky, mean and pissy. All along Magazine street we met beautiful people. Kevin Stone is so full of himself he’s a snob. I’d rather spend my money elsewhere where folks enjoy what they do. Go home Kevin… You’re outdated.

Let me say this, Kevin Stone Antiques is really the Louvre of New Orleans. I am transported each and every time I’ve been in. The owners are knowledgeable funny, intelligent, and completely engaging with their tales of going on «The Find». It’s a place that contains such a plethora of REAL Antiques I’m a bit afraid to breathe whilst navigating my way through two floors of exquisite beauty. If you are a real collector and respect knowledgable, honest Antique dealers RUN to Kevin Stone Antiques in New Orleans you won’t find better furniture or better dealers.

So we must have looked like quite a pair, dragging our sweaty selves in after hoofing it around Magazine Street for what felt like a decade. In my cargo shorts and T-​shirt and guzzling a large jug of water, the proprietor must have thought we were there for some free air conditioning.
Bad call, Mr. Proprietor. Yes, we were hot and sweaty. Yes, the air conditioning felt good.
And yes, I have money to spend. Yes, I collect antique furniture. And if you had taken the time to even acknowledge me, you might have found out that I’ve gone so far as to use dendrochronology to authenticate a few of my pieces. Serious collectors come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s dangerous to judge people that walk through your door like that.
The pieces I saw in our brief walkthrough looked to be good quality, but this shop isn’t the only game in town and you can definitely find better service.

Avoid these complete jerks at all cost! There are many lovely antique shops along Magazine. Kevin Stone Antiques is NOT one of them! I recently purchased a trumeau mirror from Kevin Stone for $ 5500+. When the mirror arrived it was clearly NOT the authentic age claimed and had been very badly altered. I called Kevin and told him that I was unhappy with the piece and asked if he would be willing to issue me a store credit to be used in the future. He could not have been more rude and told me that, «he was in this business to make money» then hung up on me. These guys are SCAMMERS. BEWARE ALL!
