    Much improved over my last experience. Why? I don't know. It was just like dealing with different people.

    Beautiful antiques. I love that the owner gives you a history of each piece. If you are looking for…read moreone of a kind this is definitely where you want to take the time to view all the beautiful treasures.

    What an amazingly fun an enlightening experience it was to visit this beautiful collection of…read moreantiques and their owner, Jane. I was greeted by Harley the dog who emerged from his hidey hole under Jane's desk to greet me. We wandered around for a bit until suddenly Lily, Harley's sister(?) I think, bounded in to say hello and check out the new customer. If you're not a dog lover Jane will put the dogs in another room so you are not disturbed, but honestly, they are just lovely. I decided to look here for some furniture after looking at new pieces in various furniture stores and being very disappointed. But the real treasure here is Jane herself with her encyclopedic knowledge of the pieces in her store, the history, the kind of wood furniture is crafted from, how it's made as with hand cut dovetails and hand turned legs and how to tell if a piece is original by running your hand over the bottom of a drawer to feel the imperfections in the hand planing or the look of hand blown glass and how they managed to make glass window panes like that. There are also really fun pieces of jewelry, china and accessories like lamps and porcelain figurines that also have a history and stories that are incredibly educational and fascinating. I had 2 pieces of furniture delivered--a lovely old rocking chair and a small work table--they were examined and things needing tightening, like legs on a rocker, or fixing, like shelves needing a little shim to be leveled were taken care of by a carpenter friend of Jane's. (I'm sorry not to recall his name right now.) They delivered the pieces to my home in perfect condition. There are occasional sales at Janet's and they do have a lay-away plan which I'm using to purchase a beautiful table made with tiger wood!! (Ask Jane!) and a lovely old hutch. I also found an amazing delft painting on a long framed tile that is a small work of art, all in blue, and some plates also, as well as a few lovely old mixing bowls and a couple small brooches, one with Persian turquoise and the other with "apple juice Bakelite" and hand carved and painted sunflowers. So pretty!! And there are stories and histories in Jane's memory for every one of the objects I bought or looked at. If you ever wanted to go to Antiques Roadshow but don't have anything to bring, go to Janet's antiques!! You'll have a chance to learn the journey of many periods and types of furniture and many other objects from the past. And if you find a piece that speaks to you and decide to take it home, Jane will write out the history of your purchase for you and send it to your home so you don't have to memorize it before you leave. I found that talking to Jane about the things in her store and their histories is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. If you're looking for a unique, well-made, high quality piece of furniture for your home I hope you stop in at Janet's Antiques!! It's one of the small treasures we are so fortunate to have in Madison!

    New FRED G. IS SCAM ARTIST, SCUMBAG. He charged me to pick…read moreup and clear out my home BUT DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB HE PROMISED. Fred left about 1/3 of the furniture and told me they could come back another day but I'd have to PAY for his FUEL round trip...AGAIN. (Cost of Gas was NOT mentioned in Freds phoney sales pitch) Fred also claimed I would receive an itemized list, AND BE PAID WHEN MY ITEMS SELL. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. Fred never got me legitimate receipts for tax purposes. NEVER heard from FRED G. again on any consignment items. Fred didn't return texts or calls. Fred G. steals from vulnerable clients. I've read customer reviews... same experiences and complaints about Fred G. and his SCAM resale shop.

    Read other reviews... And Fred's ridiculous responses, that only back up complaints that many have…read more I've got a review below. In short My family estate was 920 Geneva st. in Lake Geneva... We let Fred's team into our home because he promised: Photographic inventory of the items we trusted him to take without us there..... we got nothing. He ignored emails from my sister and myself for months. He promised monthly checks as well.... after months of no responses from Fred, my sister asked me to go in to his shop. I did. Fred bumbled around came up with a bunch of bizarre excuses. Including saying my sister said to only work with her... she is the one who sent me there to confront him as to what stuff he took, and why he hadn't paid or communicated in months. He tried to bizarrely blame her. Anyways. Read other reviews and his attempted brags in his responses about how many clients he's had... which just support all the other reviewers stating how he ripped them off during tough family times. He's also been trying to get a review I left removed... Yelp admin... if you ever need receipts for any of these facts Fred tries to get taken down, feel free to contact me.
