She's apparently an owner who opens and closes when she feels like it. I walked 45 min to come to this "amazing" antique store only to find it closed. No hours posted on door. She has mail stuffed in the bars in her door that make it appear she hasn't been open for days. Hugely disappointed but I learned a lesson to always call these small places that aren't made to follow hours.

It was so nice to spend time in our son's friends studio and see how the artist created his works, displayed them and greeted all of the visitors. Each studio was unique and impressive. This visit was 10/3, but I am eager to return again in the early spring to explore further. I will say, while most artists and shop people were friendly, a few were a bit standoffish. Maybe it is exhausting hosting so many people who are flowing through all day & evening. I loved the whole concept !

I'm happy that a glittery window display caught not only my eye but my cousin's too as she and I were strolling down Charles St. What we noticed in particular were some stunning pieces of vintage jewelry. We discovered that in addition to some beautiful pieces of antique furniture and some exquisite oil paintings, Bridge Antiques has quite an impressive collection of antique jewelry both fine and faux. On that day last summer, my cousin ended up buying an intriguing and quite bold emerald ring from Turkey with mysterious designs and inlays that included evil eyes. It needed a bit of work from her jeweler at home to restore some aspects of it but she did get a great deal. Respectful bargaining on price seems to be okay here. When she wears that ring now it is out of this world different and attention grabbing. The owner is a pleasant woman with an adorable dog that sometimes keeps her company in the shop. She doesn't mind folks like me who browse for a long time. She will happily take anything you might want to see out of a case for a try-on. Some other shops on Beacon Hill suffer from the snob factor but that's not an issue here so it's a comfortable experience. While things can be pricey, the quality of most things seems quite good. Not to undermine the furniture and art here, most of which is lovely, for me this has become the place to check out the antique jewelry. It's not to be missed if you are a fan of jewelry that comes with history.

The style is definitely traditional overall, with a combination of Impressionist, Academic, and Boston School artists represented, to name a few genres. The gallery itself is in an old townhouse that is furnished to look like a home. Don't think they're closed -- you have to be buzzed in to enter. And yes, that's because the work is just THAT valuable. I've said this in other reviews, but I prefer going to galleries over museums when I want to see traditional artwork. The admission is free, and if you ask the staff politely you can probably learn about how the artist painted the work, etc. There are always free flyers you can bring home for your art notebook, too.
