Unfortunately, my experience with this antique shop wasn't good at all. I was there for the first time last Thursday, on the 23rd of January 2025. First thing when I entered the premises I felt like sick, I don't know the reason, but I felt sick. Two men at the cash desk, looked alright, but keep this information 👌 Plus, there's a weird smell in the shop, they should sort it out! As soon as I started to see the glass cabinets, and all the stuff around, it looked like a mess, and disorganised, plus, I have checked the prices, and I observed that most of them were overpriced, something in my head suggested me to leave that place without looking back, but, I didn't, instead, I continued to look for "treasures". I love antiques, pottery, figurines, etc. So, I finally found a beautiful figurine from Beswick, cat and mouse "watch it" collection, which got to my attention straight away, so I asked for it, one of the shop assistants took the key for the cabinet, and took it away (not in front of me), while I was looking for another stuff around (there are so many stuff in the same place that you get mad), so I was looking for some earrings around which I was interested too, so I asked them to take them.for me (also, overpriced). When I got to the cash desk, my Beswick figurine was already wrapped up...I found strange but in the same time I felt grateful, so it would save some time, as I could pay straight away and leave the shop happily with my figurine and earrings, but I was wrong. As soon as I got back home, I unwrapped it, and I found that the mouse was loose from the base of the figurine, which wasn't my fault, I am sure that problem was there in the cabinet, they knew it, so they wrapped it up straight away while I was looking for the earrings, in fact, the 2 men opened the cabinet and in the same time they took away the figurine very quickly while I was distracted looking away the other stuff. Next day, I called the shop to make a complaint, and the first thing he said was that I should ask the shop assistant to unwrap the figurine for me to check(so he was trying to blame me for their dishonesty), and he added that I could take the figurine back to the shop, and see if they could exchange it, or fix the figurine, however, when I said I was interested in a picture I saw there, he said, that I could only exchange for the stuff displayed in that cabinet from the same dealer...the shop rules! Also, no refund offered, he said he don't refund...why? The law says otherwise...so, the shop have their own laws, as much as the shop states they don't refund or exchange for anything else in the shop, it doesn't apply. I was very close to go back to the shop the next day with the figurine, but instead, I decided to not confront anyone there, because I knew it would end up with the police involved there, because they can't do whatever they like with the consumer rights, their stuff is expensive, I paid £48 for that figurine, when in ebay I could find for much less and without any problems or cracks,etc. The earrings were beautiful but still overpriced too. Obviously, I won't be back to that place. There are too many around, principally in London and with better customer service.
Visited today. Very nice place. Everyone can find something interesting. Bought a silver ring in a good price. Will definitely come back again.
Deserved five stars but downgraded to one after the cashiers rude comment on checkout. We travel the world retrieving antiques and collectibles and traveled from Washington DC to England and happened upon this antique shop in Lichfield under guidance of Google Maps on our return trip from Cambridge to Liverpool. It was an easy stop and car parking was plenty and reasonably priced. We enjoyed browsing the three or four rows of locked glass cabinets containing various collectibles and jewelry. If you want an item you’ll need to cite the cabinet number and inform the cashier who will retrieve the appropriate key and unlock the cabinet. Collectively, on our trip we spent several thousand dollars on antiques and collectibles and in Lichfield, we inquired if there were any discounts offered for multiple item purchases. The elderly lady (cashier) behind the counter said she would entertain discounts only on checkout. A man behind the counter working with her also stated “we can offer a discount on anything over 20 pounds” and after the lady tallied our items at 183 British pounds, she looked up and said “unfortunately since you shopped so frugally, I’m unable to provide any discounts” We weren’t worried about saving five or ten pounds. It’s your mouth that deserves the one star rating lady.
My favourite Antique Centre in Lichfield chockfull of lovey and interesting and antique and vintage items of all kind below some of the items I purchased I’m very pleased with them all !
