I DO NOT recommend this business! BTW, the sales person said if we got it home and it had issues we could return it. The store manager said they never allow returns and called us a liar.... again think twice before doing business with Anitques Mall of Madison. No value here.​

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!

But, in a lot of ways, you don't even need them, because all you have to do is go and find that unique something, grab it, pay for it, and you're out the door.
