I thought I'd reviewed Elder's before. No? Ok... The place is huge. Deep building. Three floors. Many antiques, including so much furniture and each piece I have seen in excellent condition. I usually buy smaller pieces here, including old photos (nerd that I am, I look through the ones that have legible names on the back and find descendants of those depicted). They offer a sizeable discount if you pay in cash. No mask requirement, but vaccines have been available for quite some time and the place is big enough to space yourself many feet from the nearest person. read more

My wife is a designer out of New York, and when we come to her hometown of St Louis, she always insists on coming here. Elders is a treasure trove of unique and beautiful antiques. The selection is vast and diverse (THREE floors), with something for every taste and budget. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they go out of their way to ensure you find exactly what you're looking for. The prices are more than fair, and the quality is outstanding. I highly recommend Elders to anyone in the market for high-end antiques at reasonable prices. read more

Elder's - Antiques Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Best antique shop in St. Louis. I've purchased numerous items from Elders to include cedar chests, antique radios, antique chairs, cabinets, you name it. Always priced well and I love the staff. They always get a lot of new items in. I read some of the bad reviews, and those are pretty much political attacks from local "progressives" which stemmed from the owner thanking police for increasing patrols when crime increased. The shop made national news because local communists put a sign on their store threatening them by saying "pig supporters not welcome here. Flag goes down or you go down." Marked with hammer and sickle, and MLM (Marxism, Leninism, Maoism. The communists then followed through by breaking the shop's windows. Elders has been on Cherokee antique row for decades, almost half a century. They didn't deserve this treatment, and I'm thankful they continue to keep their shop in this neighborhood. Oh yeah, the communists also like to rip down her American flag and throw it on the ground when walking their dogs. Seriously, its insane. So, ignore the negative removes. They are purely political because the owners, with the main owner being of Syrian decent, love the United States and flies the flag. Their clientele is extremely diverse as well. I was in the shop the other day and one of their African American neighbors stopped in to say high, and it was mentioned how the owners invited him to enjoy Thanksgiving with their family. Honestly, yelp should remove the bad reviews that are obvious political attacks from extremists minded people. Bottom line, their two shops are awesome, and I don't know of any better in the St. Louis Metro. The owners and staff are great people. read more

Wow. What a great shop! We hit up several shops in the area this one was a best. Very clean. Woman working was way friendly. Very nice personality. There are three levels to this place. So make sure you have time to check it all out. Great selection of goods. Really clean and organized. Wasn't that weird smell in the air either. Lol. They have a nice mix of antiques. Different time period. Quality was excellent. You can tell the owner and staff takes pride in the shop. Prices were great. Staff even gave me a two for one when I checked out. Downfall was they don't take credit cards at that location but their other shop next street over they own that does. So you just skip over there and pay and go back with receipt to pick up your items. read more

One of the great vintage antique stores on Cherokee Street reasonable prices and lots of interesting items well worth the visit.

First off the place had air conditioning, that in itself is a plus. Then the owner was very friendly and even got us bottles of water. She was helpful trying to find the items I was hunting for and finding prices. If you are looking for china patterns this place has tons. read more

Used to love this store and have bought many many pieces over the years from the pink fireplace bench, the blue metal cabinet, China, Waterford pieces, cake plates, napkin rings, fostoria, knife rests, etc etc. Went to both shops today and encountered the daughter in the main shop. She was talking g very loudly to a man, making racist comments about the "mexicans" the "chinese", etc and how it is so unfortunate that we have to be so inclusive...it went in for several minutes and the man with her was agreeing with her. We.just ended up turning around and leaving. However, we decided to return to the other store down the street to let the mother/owner know that her daughter's behavior cost her two of her best customers. The mom just defended the daughter's behavior and comments...stating...you dont understand having to do business in this neighborhood with them...how offensive...the apple didnt dall far from the tree in this case. Too bad because the shop is great and we always find a few things to buy every time we go in there, but I cant support racist behavior and folks running a business need to realize that not all their customers share their beliefs and they shouldn't be shouting about their racist opinions in front of their customers.... read more

LOVE this shop. Top end antiques. The owner, Cherri, is a delight and so much fun to talk to. She is knowledgable, helpful, loves her business, and is totally honest about what she sells (will tell you what is a knock-off and not an antique). Most of all, she loves St. Louis. read more

Wife and I have shopped and purchased items from Elder's approximately a dozen times. Yes, their front is boarded up, but I do not blame them one bit due to the violent enablers that use an excuse to commit hideous acts against small businesses in the name of justice. Those types are despicable and have no place in a civil society. They remind me of the self righteous zealots that history has written about and they never build, only to destroy and force others to conform through terror. Yes, they can be a little pricey but it depends on what you're looking for. My opinion is most items are reasonable and I do some research before purchasing anything so I do not overpay. Wife and I are collectors of vintage and antiques so we can display beautiful items at our house. We buy to save beauty and do not intend to resale and canvas other antique stores in the county in hopes of finding to preserve items from the past. If you are into vintage/antique furniture, crystals, silver pieces, Elder's is a very good stop. We love beautiful handcrafted mahogany furniture and have purchased a couple of pieces from them that we proudly displace to admire. Of course, some TLC was applied to restore the luster of the wood but it was well worth the effort and price. I can tell most of the negative reviews are from the hateful angry sort that have the "conform or else" mentality of the crazy despondents roaming the streets like wildlings. Just ignore them and see for yourself. Oh, I am a minority and care less about loud opinionated people and their rudeness, I only care how I'm treated individually and Elder's has always been respectful and friendly towards me. Even gave us extra discounts for being repeat customers. I patronize other business that might have different political beliefs than me, but I only care how they treat me if I'm being polite and respectful to them. If they conduct themselves badly, I just won't go there again and take my business elsewhere and obviously post a negative review reflecting my DIRECT ENCOUNTER with the establishment, not based on an assumption because I judged the book by its cover. I try to give everyone the chance to prove their worthiness and I expect the same from myself and not be a hypocrite like so many others out there. Grow up people and maybe you'll induce a little happiness into your life...or not lol. read more

The owner (I forgot her name) was incredibly friendly and I had a wonderful time talking to her. She was also able to remember the name of a shop I had been looking for but had since closed, which I was so grateful for. The store itself is incredibly clean and organized, especially considering how much merchandise is there. A shop down the street was quite dusty and over crowded. They could use the advice of Elder's! I will most definitely be back on a regular basis to browse this beautiful little gem of a store. read more

Fantastic business leaders in the St Louis area. Please support this Great family business. Great service and great prices and they support the police in St Louis. Nicest people that want to help their cuStomers! read more

Elder's Limited is the best antique place on Cherokee. They have two floor of stuff. Most of what you will find is furniture, which for me is great. Since going there I have had a bedroom suite put together, matching pieces of course so it does not look all freaky and thrown together. Most of what this place has that I have sees seem to have pieces from the early twentieth century, so basically things from the 1940's to the 1920's. Things tend to move quickly through this place. Also a great thing about this place that I really enjoy is the fact that if you mention their 10% discount, they will give it to you. You have to mention the discount though, or you won't get it. Elder's Limited is a great place to find great finds of classic furniture to adorn your home. read more

It was thought that I was going to do business with some actual decent people. Well was I wrong........ It was in fact my mistake to send someone else besides myself but I didn't think the owners and their daughter would take advantage of someone into thinking he was getting a great deal when they infact basically robbed him blind. I sent my buddy with a fairly large amount of oriental pieces for them to look at. Not only did they show him some low prices online that some pieces had been sold for that were well below fair market value. My friend who isn't knowledgeable thought they had done him and myself a solid. Well the more I unpacked the more I realized he had been robbed these are extreamly dishonest people. When I did in fact ask them about them they told me to get my junk....... Bring them back their money. When I said I would they haven't returned my messages. I'm a father who uses this to help provide for his family and I'm so happy these people believe in taking from the hard working class and who gladly took advantage of a situation. Hard to find good honest people to do business with this day and age. Too bad I can't put a negative rating read more

Lovely antique shop on antique row on Cherokee Street. This shop is packed with two floors of antiques with a focus on furniture. Most of their pieces are in excellent shape and there is sure to be something for everyone's needs. The staff has always been friendly when I have browsed here. There is also a nice selection of antique postcards in the back of the first floor available for $1 a piece. read more

All of their items are super overpriced and no one that works there was wearing a mask. There are much better antique stores nearby.

A great selection of unique antiques with an amazing, knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend you stop by and see this beautiful shop!

Great place!! One of my favorite haunts in St. Louis for antique and older furniture; also unique china, crystal and decorative items. Very friendly owners who are knowledgeable and helpful. Lots to see. An anchor on Cherokee Street. read more

We had been looking for a narrow, tall wardrobe for months. Found it here. The folks working were very friendly and helpful. Assisted with getting the wardrobe in our car the next day. read more

By far my favorite antique shop on Cherokee. Apparently they have so much goodness that another store (same name) opened up a block away. I have yet to check that one out, though. Nice, clean, well-kept items are displayed in a way that one doesn't have to dig through junk to find that one amazing piece. Staff are always knowledgable and helpful. New treasures each time I go inside. Bring cash and make them an offer!! read more

We have family in the area and try to come in whenever we are driving through. We have purchased seven beautiful stain glass windows over the years. Their prices are the best we have found anywhere. We have enjoyed getting to know the family and staff of this family owned business. read more

Very confused. I walked into the store and was stared down by the owner. I said "hello, how are you?" which was met with a very terse response. When describing the item I was looking for, I was told to go to a different store. I don't know how I could have possibly offended this woman within the 2 seconds of entering the store, but clearly I was not welcome. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! If there was a way to give a negative 5 stars, I would give that to them, instead of the one star that they do not deserve. I am a 72-year-old widow. When I was still in mourning and trying to sell my house so that I could move into a smaller apartment, the husband of one of the employees at Elder's Antiques--who was my long-standing computer tech--offered their services to me so that they could remove property that I viewed as "junk", and that they would sell as antiques. Well, what they wound up doing was leaving me with a good deal of the true "junk", and packing my expensive living room antique furniture and a few other expensive items into their van--BEFORE OFFERING ME AN APPRAISAL. I had assumed that they would give me an appraisal first, and then I would decide whether or not I wanted them to buy my antiques. At the time, I was rather depressed and overwhelmed with the process of moving, and wanted to get the ordeal over with. One of the owners of Elder's gave me a preposterous $350 in cash for my furniture which was likely worth well over $1,000. I tried to be civil about the matter, because I was still in mourning and did not feel like arguing at the time. They kept trying to come back time and time again for the rest of my furniture, and I gave them one tactful excuse after another. Finally, I emailed the computer tech and told him that I was "hurt", and felt that they had not given me enough money for my property. I believe innocent people normally respond, while people who feel guilty practice avoidance. I tried to contact the tech several times, even offering him work setting up my new computer, and he has not responded at all. At this point, because of this lack of response, I feel that I may have been intentionally ripped-off because I was viewed as vulnerable at the time. read more

Great store in every way! Love the workers in the store as they are knowledgable and helpful. They have lots of cool things in all price ranges. I, also like that they support the women police officers on their street that work there and help make sure everyone is safe. It is fun to shop in a downtown like area. read more

We stopped in here on a Sunday looking for a chair for our house. Elders has a great selection of beautiful pieces and well laid out. Unfortunately we did not find a chair but we saw so much we wished we could have bought. It was obvious they take great care in finding quality, detailed pieces. read more

Love this store! Go here and add some vintage to your decor! The staff and owners are very helpful and great people

Very friendly and supportive staff!!! Great selection!! They go out of there way to provide great customer service to everyone.

This is a really great place to find china cabinets, dining room furniture, bedroom sets, and all kinds of eclectic and unique things. I come here often to find just the right kind of decorative pieces for the staging of houses that we do, if the style required something old or could be enhanced with a bit of nostalgia. They have victorian things, art deco, art nouveau, arts and crafts, etc.. Basically you can find things here that you wouldn't expect and their inventory changes all the time. So I enjoy visiting often. Lastly the owner's are very helpful, knowledgeable and willing to talk to you about their passion for anything old and collectible. I love this place and it is one of my favorite antique stores in the St. Louis area. Dave Meintrup Estate-Prep.com read more

Awesome people. Great products to choose from. If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist.

Love this shop! It's one of the best ones on the row of shops. They had a great selection of many different things here. Everything is laid out so that you can see it.

I will definitely stop by when I am in the area again! read more
