Capitol Antiques

Great place! So sad that they are closing. Another antique/​junk shop leaving our city. They are offering 20% off everything. We bought an old office chair 1930’s and a fireplace mantle surround early 1900’s (square nails were used) and we negotiated 35% off. Get there fast if you want some great things from the past.

This is a great place to treasure hunt for cool décor and big, beautiful antique furniture for a great price! I always love seeing what new things are hidden in the labyrinth of rooms full of unique items! Ive bought some of my favorite furniture and decorative pieces from this place and dont regret it!

This place is kind of a dump… actually not kind of a dump. It’s a total dump. I came here with a friend to see if they had anything interesting. I had a few pieces that I felt were missing from my home and since we were in the area, why not check it out. When we entered, we were greeted by the proprietress who informed us that they do take credit cards. We started exploring the rooms. The layout of the store is a bit, ummm, nonexistent. There’s hallways that lead to dead-​ends and rooms that keep turning into other rooms until you end up at a pile of furniture. Most of the piles seemed a little precarious. The furniture itself has definitely seen better days. There were lots of moth eaten, sagging arm chairs and couches, torn diner chairs with matching tables with stained Formica, broken hat trees, and an inexplicably large number of bird cages. Nothing really seemed to be higher end or marked by designer so the prices seemed wildly out of whack. They had very few housewares and as a lover of mid-​century kitchen kitsch I was a little disappointed. The few things they did have were typically things given away for free. For example, they had a mugs that said «Welcome _​_​_​twins» with their date of birth in 2012. They were priced $ 2 each. That seemed ridiculous considering that #1– not an antique, #2– If I knew this family, the probably would’ve given me a mug when those kids were born. #3– Since I don’t know the family, why would I want a mug with their info?

LOVE this place! Have already bought an armoire, gossip bench and a serving cart. Lots of furniture and they offer layaway. Don’t be put off by the outside of the building, or by the first room as soon as you walk in. Just go down the hall to the left & you will find a maze of rooms packed with awesome finds! My sister in law purchased a Cavalier cedar chest with working lock & interior felt-​lined shelf for $ 75! And my husband bought a set of Mizuno golf irons for $ 5 a piece. Unbelievably sweet old couple running the shop. Don’t skip this place! Its too awesome!!!

Great place to find big old furniture!

This is an interesting store, far beyond the usual path I discovered by accident. There wasn’t a great deal in it to tempt me, but I did buy a vintage bird cage and a little art deco bar at a very good price. The staff there are friendly. It’s worth checking out. NOT high end, a touch on the junky side with the wares, but good things can still be found.
