In Short
Shopping here is like taking a stroll through a museum of slightly warped history, with every nook and cranny filled by unique curios from various cultures and eras. The proprietor has amassed the world's largest collection of Limoges porcelain boxes from France, as well as vintage jewelry from the '20s and '30s. Fenton art glass, stained-glass lamps and oddities from Japan, Africa and more exotic locales round out the store's remarkable stock.

I don't normally like shopping, but shopping at this store is fast and easy. I do all of my gift shopping there. I am in and out in little time and find unique, interesting gifts at very good prices. I would be paying much more for lesser quality elsewhere. The owner is fair, honest and makes shopping a fun experience. This is shopping without stress. The owner helps me choose what to purchase and I trust her judgement. She makes me feel like it is very important that she offers a good product and the best price. I feel her enthusiasm for the store and the items that she sells. I have never been in a store with such interesting merchandise. You really should check it out.

I have been shopping at Gaslight & Shadows Antiques for over 30 years. I am a faithful customer because of the owner, Phyllis. She knows my name, looks for items I collect, and gives me very good prices. She is so friendly, makes me feel welcome. When I need cheering up, I visit Gaslight & Shadows and always leave feeling better. I have experienced how the store has changed through the years. It always feels fresh, having new and different items. You never know what will be in the store. Phyllis has always had a passion for vintage Bakelite and has a wonderful collection of Bakelite jewelry. She also has the largest collection of Limoges Porcelain Boxes, they are everywhere in the store. When I first started shopping here, there was a lot of furniture, now it is mostly smaller items. She also has beautiful porcelain dolls at very low prices. I have purchased my most cherished jewelry at Gaslight & Shadows. Phyllis has a gift for finding items that are unique, unusual and special. She has a passion for her store, you feel like she is there just to please you and be surrounded by beautiful items. You feel like you got a good deal on anything you buy and that it was chosen with love.

What an incredible store. There are so many beautiful items to choose from. A great place for gifts. There are porcelain dolls, unusual lamps, vintage watches, bakelite game pieces and many other different collectables. This store is packed with super affordable costume jewelry. I find incredible vintage Bakelite jewelry here, a large collection. When I shop here, I always walk away feeling happier. Phyllis, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. The prices are great. This store us unlike any store I have ever been in. I highly recommend it!
