Great Christmas gift shop. I should not have taken my wife in. People are great and they have some good sales. read more

Absolutely gorgeous artwork can be found in this Russian centric Christmas shop. From stackable dolls to ornate statues and hand painted bulbs and the list goes on and on. My only gripe about this business is the price which seems quite high and clearly is going after the visiting tourists. I am not an expert on price when it comes to this type of work but I clearly recognize beauty and craftsmanship when I see it and the merchandise they sell at this business oozes it! This is a must visit if you are a collector of fine Christmas ornamates and if you can afford it you will find yourself in Nirvana (: read more

The store was clean and inviting. They had so many different themes of Russian Nesting Dolls. They were beautiful! Unfortunately, they were very expensive. The employees were nice. They also had Russian fur hats. read more

Russian American Company - Fur Russian hats - Antiques Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Not sure what I was expecting, but this store blew me away with its gorgeous merchandise and expansive selection, both Russian and religious (Orthodox). Certainly this is not a store for those looking to save their pennies, but it does seem like a store for those looking for authentic wooden dolls, iconography, and other Russian merchandise. The woman at the register was very nice, and we had no issues. Note: there is a sign that states they support Ukraine. Note 2: would not bring children into this shop! read more

This is one of my favorite cruise ship port stores. It is full of beautiful items--some very pricey. However, there is also plenty to buy that would fit any budget and it was easy to find a few reasonably priced gifts to bring back home. My husband (who hates gift shops) ended up purchasing a beautiful handmade knife--made by an Alaskan, not from China. That's probably why he didn't complain about my endless browsing. On every trip, I have come home with something from this exquisite shop. read more

Could've spent a fortune here, instead just the rent. Kidding. But really, such beautiful and exquisite objects, and a trip to Russia isn't needed. The lacquer objects, my favorites. Enjoy! read more

Large store with a variety of things you could buy. Just coming in and looking at some of the historical pieces they have is worth going in.

We were walking down the street in Sitka and saw those Russian hats that are huge and fun? We went in to try one on jokingly and ended up spending a fortune here. They have exquisite Russian porcelain which was blue and white and gorgeous. I started out with one tea cup and saucer. By the time I was done (two visits) I had purchased 4 teacups and saucers, 4 dessert plates, a tea pot and a cookie plate. They shipped it all home and it arrived the same day I did. It looks magnificent on my buffet. I love it but the price, well, you have to pay for quality! read more

Russian American Company - Blue and white china! - Antiques Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

This is almost more a museum than a shop! On this second floor of a nondescript commercial building you'll find Russian antiques from the 1800s for sale. Several are over $1000. There was a $16000 Faberge cigarette case. This seems like the flagship store of the Russian American Co. which has several locations in the Inner Passage. I say this because it's the only one with antiques, curios, and expensive items for sale. They also have a bigger jewelry collection. Like other Russian American Co. locations they sell Russian folk art, nesting dolls, lacquer boxes, and Christmas ornaments. read more

That this town was once the Russian capital of Alaska is evident in its distinctive architecture, and this shop is a treasure trove of quality traditional artwork, antiques, and handicrafts imported from reputable dealers, with the authenticity of every item guaranteed. Among the merchandise you'll find are Faberge eggs, jewelry, and gift items, lacquer boxes, porcelain dolls, enamelware, and Christmas decorations. A small section is devoted to Alaskan sculptures, scrimshaw, basketry, and decorative glass. Seeing a lacquer box similar to one I had purchased in St. Petersburg for $50, priced here at $750, made my day, to say the least. You'll find considerably less expensive items on display as well. read more

This place is AWESOME! I wish I had more time in Sitka so I could have spent more hours in this shop. My friend and I had a lot of work to do but noted this store on our previous walk around town and made it inside within 15 minutes to closing. Olga generously stayed beyond closing while we made some final shopping decisions and was very helpful, carefully wrapping up our purchases so that they would not be damaged on our flights back home. This store is FULL of neat finds, some of which are *very* pricey but you are paying for some really awesome items. I bought a tea and saucer set for a gift and my friend got a stacking doll set. Both of our gifts were well-received by their recipients. The selections are amazing -- you'll find something even if you have a small budget. There's tons of trinkets, collectibles, and beautiful items. I felt like I was in a very fancy store, not some babyshka's cramped living room. Everything was organized nicely and easy to navigate. Olga was great and answered many questions. Definitely a place to go if you want very unique Russian wares! read more

Olga was rude to me and my husband when we tried to take a picture to send to my daughter to see if she was interested in the nesting dolls. We would not buy here cause of the way she talked to me. This store has some beautifully things and an ok selection of Santas and matryoshkas but the staff was not nice. Stay away! read more

This is an amazing selection of authentic Russian Art that is so hard to find in Russia nowadays! Russian galleries are just as expensive and maybe even more, in some cases! Delightful read more

Wonderful place to visit, and their selection of Russian and Alaskan Native art is not to be rivaled. Their on-line store is easily and safely accessible and gives those of us not lucky enough to visit Sitka in person a way to see their beautiful things. read more

The store is very clean and beautiful so I entered and fell in love with a Mills Creek art sculpture worth over $500.00. After speaking with the store's clerk who mentioned that they have the Certificate of Authenticity to prove it was an original item, I purchased the item and received it by mail in perfect condition except it arrived without the Certificate. You can only image paying over $500 and the piece will not be worth anything without the papers. I have called many times and was told by the clerk many excuses including that she needed to look for it, not know where it was at, call me back later, etc. Its been over a month now and have my credit card company involved. Be careful with them!!!!! read more
