1 star - Buyer Beware I purchased jewelry from Summerhill expecting to walk away with something authentic and fairly priced. What I walked away with was a lesson. I later found the exact same piece on Amazon for a quarter of what I paid here. That alone is embarrassing enough, but what really bothers me is what it implies about everything else in that store. If the jewelry is mass-produced Amazon merchandise dressed up with antique store pricing, how much of the rest of the inventory is the same? Are you actually buying vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces, or are you paying a massive markup on stuff anyone can order online in two clicks? I can't speak to every item in the store, but I can tell you that my trust is gone. Shop here if you want, but do yourself a favor and run a reverse image search or check Amazon before you hand over your money. I wish I had. read more

Summerhill Ltd is a wonderful shop to visit. They have an assortment of antique items. The owner really enjoys what she does and knows her craft very well. I definitely would recommend her for your next gem of a find or if you have something special that would fit the store's aesthetic, I'd definitely have Summerhill look to see how she could help you~ An overall staple to the community of Orange. read more

My group of friends and I were very impressed by the selection found here but with half of us being Hispanic we very quickly found that we weren't welcome in this establishment. The owner watched us the entire time that we were there only provided discounts to the white passing members of our group and also called one of us exotic. Do not go here if you are a member of a minority group. read more

Years ago I was looking for a 48" to 60" wide chandelier for our entry. Although we live in a huge house and furnished it with rare and expensive items, you wouldn't know it by looking at us. We're just low key like that. I walked in and asked the owner if they had anything like that. She looked me up and down and after saying "oh darling (or something like that), there are only a handful of properties that can handle that size" she turned and walked away. So condescending. Little did she know ours was one of them. Never went in again. Now Summerhill is selling cheap rhinestone jewelry. Poor thing. read more

This place is a scam. I was sold 3 jewelry items that I unfortunately looked up later and discovered everything is $10 on Amazon, marked up to $45-50 each. They would not disclose where they find their items when I asked in the store, and I understand why. She alluded they were from estate sales. Absolute ripoff and will never shop here again. Very disappointing to spend a lot of money and be made to feel you are treating yourself to something nice. read more

Years ago I peeked inside Summerhill because nothing makes me happier than French furniture! I was a bit intimidated because I'm not a monied OC customer. BUT, once inside, Denise greeted me with genuine warmth and I soon learned that even a starving artist can collect gorgeous antiques. Let her become your personal shopper because it will always be correct. She knows the historical periods, countries of origin, period style and what goes with what. Because she knows the pieces I've bought over the years, all I have to do is tell her what direction I'm going and she'll start to look for the right pieces to complete what I'm doing in the new residence, blending what I have with what I want to achieve. You will not find better quality or pricing. The advice you receive at Summerhill will be spot on and honest. read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place deserves it. The service was great I wish I got the name of the lady that was helping me but she was the kindest person ever. And the items they have are so special I think if you are having trouble finding a gift for someone this is the best place to buy something that is sentimental and special. A must go to place even if it's just to look around. read more

Summerhill Ltd - This is a bear pin that you can put on a newborn, a great gift idea - Antiques Near Me - Orange, California

This upscale boutique is gorgeous inside. So many rare French antique treasures. Too much to look at you need to walk through a few times. A bonus is the downstairs basement which is a 50% off sale. Highly recommend. read more

After our breakfast at Kimmie's Coffee Cup, we decided to walk off our food by going up and down the street, looking at the different stores. Summerhill's door was open and inside you can see a medley of different chandeliers twinkling. It looked like a quirky store, so Stephen and I stopped inside. Along the walls were mirrors of all shapes and sizes, artwork, and quirky objects. It reminded me of going to my grandmother's house, or some sort of eclectic B&B. Vintage furniture, tea sets, chairs, oriental lamps, lounge chairs, tables... anything you can think of to add character to a home. I would have loved to give this place a 4.5 star for just the character of the store alone, but the staff paid absolutely no attention to me or Stephen. No greeting, not even a "may we help you". Perhaps they're used to "lookie loos" but it a simple greeting could have been a potential sale. read more

Summerhill Ltd - Chinese table - Antiques Near Me - Orange, California

I wish I could put 0 stars. I was looking for Christmas gifts in the many antique stores in the area and the lady running the place was so rude. When I was looking at the jewelry a young man asked about an antique pen and she told him to put it down because it was $80. She was clearly being rude and when people started staring she tried to laugh it off and claimed she's just bossy. I don't know what would possess a business owner to talk to a customer like that but I had to leave immediately. I hope if you read this you chose to go to one of the many other options in the Circle instead of here. read more

Friendly staff. Extremely helpful. Lots of beautiful things in here. It's hard to pick just one thing you want. Most stores with nicer things have a very elitist vibe. Most people don't expect someone my age to buy some of the things I do so unless I'm with an older friend I get stared at a lot in nicer antique stores. No such feeling here. When I asked to look at something I was interested in, they took it down and let me look at it. I ended up taking some sconces home that didn't sit completely upright and they had no problem with me taking them back to be fixed up and sent home again. read more

I love this place! I purchased a few pieces of furniture last year, never came around to posting a review. I was recently in Orange for a breakfast date, and walked by Summerhill thanking God that it was closed. ( it's easy to drop some serious cash here). Anyways, customer service is top notch, and Denise, is absolutely amazing! I bought a set of antique study chairs, which Denise helped me with picking out swatches for later reupholstering, and a 1950's Bombay chest that I absolutely love. True these specialty antique shops can be pricey, but you go in here knowing your going to spend some money, if you are serious about collecting. I will definitely be purchasing more pieces from here, maybe in a few months.....it's hard to resist, especially when you're down at the Circle. read more

See all

Summerhill has the most amazing display of antique chandeliers I've seen. It is a must stop destination for the antique enthusiast. Beyond the wonderfully curated selection of antique lighting, furniture and accents it's the amazing people working at Summerhill that make it a complete experience. Denise and Katherine are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in their craft. More importantly they are charming and funny. The complete package! read more

Although the products in this store are absolutely exquisite, I was appalled at the service (or should I say lack thereof). My best friend and I came for a lunch date and thought we would browse through. We were never greeted and completely ignored. I thought I must be mistaken but I made a point to pleasantly ask for help (giving the associates the benefit of the doubt, I work retail and know how difficult it is to tend to a busy store). We were completely blown off by the women working at the store who were not busy. In fact I complimented one employee on her dog and she yelled at me. Could it be that my friend and I didn't look like we had thousands of dollars to spend?? Or are you people prejudiced because my friend is African American? I have never experienced such blatant discrimination. I would like to add my grandmother is an interior designer as well and has a nationally known custom drapery and bedspread business...... You never know who you are meeting. Maybe you women shouldn't be so judgmental. Shame on you! read more

I have been shopping the Orange Circle for 30 years. My entire house is furnished from those stores. Summerhill has long remained as one of my favorites. I have bought countless pieces of furniture, light fixtures, some French novelty items and jewelry for my mom. Dining room charis are my most recent purchase. Oh, and the chandelier. Love Denise and Katherine. They don't pester you when you shop, but they know their stuff. They even told me what not to buy. read more

The chandelier selection is Astounding! Denise the proprietor is Knowledgable, Warm and very accommodating . Summerhill is not only a must see but also an Experience . read more

Here you will find genuine, upscale, fine antiques mixed with a few classy modern items. They have frequent turnover, I see something new every time I go. I find it funny how another reviewer said she felt ignored by the staff because they didn't say hi... but she never actually needed or asked for help. That person is needy and their review is misleading. If you need something, just ask! The times when I've asked for help they have been very friendly and attentive. I personally love how the staff (I assume they're the owners) chat among themselves and leave you alone while you peruse the store. It is a casual, pressure-free environment and feels more like a place to hang out. Things I have seen and loved here: French antique marble-top items including dressers and nightstands, burl wood, Louis XV bombay chest, Victorian chairs, beautifully upholstered armchairs, ormolu jewelry boxes... all in immaculate condition. Prices are moderate to high depending on the item; many one of a kind, very nice things. read more
