Brandywine River Antiques Market

This is a jewel of antiques, furniture, ornaments, historical artifacts, medals, old history momentos, toys, jewelry, books, lamps, etc. You can expend good time walking 3 levels, and keep finding many things... plus very close a very good coffee shop...

Cool stuff and great selection, overbearing with staff continuously coming up to us, and prices were quite high. Don't come here if you plan to stay on a budget. We weren't able to find anything that interested us that wasn't well above market price. Upper floor had many items with tags faded from the sun and covered in dust and grime, and were still charging a fortune.

Great variety of items, friendly helpful staff, and way more to look at than you could ever imagine from the exterior.

It is a wonderful place to wander around and find treasures. The staff was very friendly. The place is a lot bigger than it appears from the outside. We will have to go back to finish exploring.

Very happy with my "new" milk glass chandelier! Came already rewired by the dealer.

This place is super cool! If you’re looking for genuine treasure that is rich with history, this is the place. Fine antiquities and stunning pieces. Be sure to go through ALL THREE FLOORS too! I could spend a whole day in this place.

I visited for the first time purely by accident but loved it & found 3 very cute finds! I will definitely be returning with my daughter, who also loves thrifting & antiqing with me.

This place was a big disappointment. While the selection and variety of antiques was great, the staff were quite awful. One woman was trying to be friendly but it was not enough to overcome the pure unpleasantness of the lady we asked to unlock a cabinet to examine an item. She was prickly, and off-putting in how particular she seemed about the request to look at an old powder horn for sale. The entire time we were in the store, my wife noticed we were being followed by an elderly gang, who were clearly employees trying to be inconspicuous. It was uncomfortable and insulting, frankly — we stopped at five or six antique stores throughout our day for some fun treasure hunting and thrifting. This was the only one where we felt like we were being watched and treated poorly, and with zero justification. Skip this stop, there are much better options within a half mile radius where the employees/owners aren’t sabotaging their own business.

The place had 10 minutes left to be open as they already shut off lights. What happened to closing at the time specified.. then turning the lights off. The number one goal was to close the doors so they could go to " a birthday party!" Turning off lights while I'm there! And it smelled like sewage!!

Went here a few weeks ago when my mom was in town visiting as she enjoys shopping for antiques. I'm not into antiques much myself but I did enjoy browsing. There's 3 packed floors of items to look through, lots of interesting and unique options. I purchased a cute wooden black cat statue that I love. I marked this shop down a star because I felt items were a bit overpriced. Overall though I recommend this place!

Agree with the other reviews, this place has nice items, but is VERY over priced! Was also followed by one of the employees, which was a little annoying.

Over priced and you'll be stalked by an employee the whole time you're there. Only gave it two stars instead of one because they do have some cool stuff, but honestly just go to Pennsbury Chads Ford Antique Mall, they have a bigger selection, better prices, and a much nicer staff.

Wow. A very large selection. This place is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful antiques and vintage stuff including some really cool things for a man cave. I was tempted to buy a BSA motorcycle tank but decided to hold off. They had a lot of cases with a lot of estate jewelry. I am planning on taking some of my wife's unwanted jewelry in.

5 stars for the size and the great selection of Americana, farmhouse and country antiques. Over 40 vendors with very well curated booths.

Staff was incredibly rude. Arrived at 4:30 and was told they were closing (they close at 5). I asked if I had to leave, luckily they didn't turn me away - just said I only have a few minutes. By 4:45 they turned out the lights! On my way out I was told I should have come earlier. There was 15 minutes left! I kept checking my watch as I didn't want to stay later than their hours. I've never had lights turned off on me. I felt extremely unwelcome and will not be going back.

This place is absolutely incredible ! Most unique antiques and collectibles ever! You could spent an entire day here.

I was hopefully about this place since it was my first time antiquing in Pennsylvania. When we arrived the parking lot was packed. I should have realized then that this wasn't a place for me. It's very very upscale with tons of antiques. Mainly bigger pieces & lots of china. If you're looking for furniture & have deep pockets this is the place to go. With three floors & antiques packed wall to wall it made it slightly difficult to maneuver around. Especially with tons of people shopping too. Not bad but if you're looking for a bargain I suggest you go up two antique shops on right. You'll get more bang for your buck.

Very nice antique market in Chadds Ford. High end pieces mixed with lower quality merchandise. Many large furniture items which seem to move quickly between visits. Several sellers specialize in a particular vintage of items. Overall, a great place to marvel and dig.

Three stories of wonderful antiques and furniture. If you're into great furniture (made from real wood! not wooden plaster bits or thin sheets of wood over small bits of wood) then this is the place for you. It also has...a cafe...with food and tea and coffee...and its decorated with antiques to buy. You can say, i'll have a coffee and that giant retired ventriloquist dummy. Delightful.

This is a great place! Lots of quality antiques and collectibles from many dealers. Very nice presentation and reasonable prices. We live about a half-hour away, and stop in often. It's rare that we don't leave with at least one purchase. Many calling themselves antique shops are really second-hand stores with a few antiques thrown in. This place is the real deal.

What a great find! This is a phenomenal place!! I'm so glad that I wasn't discouraged by a puzzling 3 star review here from a year ago. This is a must see for everyone-whether you're a serious collector or just like to browse. The sheer volume is mind boggling. If you're looking for a place with a lot of large pieces-you will not be disappointed! Whether you need a table large enough to seat 24 people- along with matching Chippendale chairs, a new old piece of Scrimshaw for your collection, or a very early Ship model---this place is your best bet! This is a wonderful old barn with many levels & something like 30-40 dealers & It just feels like it goes on forever!! I cant wait to go again! (You should know that there are actually 3 reviews for the Brandywine River Antiques Market--One has been filtered by Yelp, which is a major disservice to this place of business. I was so bothered when I read the 3 star review here that I joined Yelp to let others know they should not be deterred into not making the trip here! My feeling is that if you're looking for super high end pieces that belong at Winterthur, or a grand collection on the scale of Sothebys, (like our other reviewer might be)---by all means, dont waste your time: go to New York or London or wherever the "elite people" go!!)

Throw some old stuff in a variety of glass display cases, mix in some junk, scatter bits of Americana here and there, and put the mix in an old barn and you've got the Antiques Market. There was some nice glassware and ceramics here and there as well as lots of furniture in the uppermost floor of the barn, much in the need of some TLC. There were a few vendors with some very nice pieces of estate jewelery, but lots junk, too. Still, with the Mushroom Cafe next door to provide some sustenance, it is worth a stop.

My mom recomended this place to my bestie and I who wanted to do some antique shopping. The ladies in the store were really nice and helpful. There were alot of neat things in the antique market. However, almost everything was very overpriced. Some things where almost double what I have seen other places which really stunk! despite that, we did find a few good bargain finds!! So by no means did we leave empty handed!

Please do not visit this store. I bought jewelry that was advertised as vintage but turned out the pieces were not signed. When I wrote to notify the store, I received a completely unprintable response full of swear words and profanity. Extremely unprofessional. Alan V.

Most of the Antiques were expensive but that's to be expected. There were some affordable things and it was fun to walk around and look at everything. I would come back again.

This is a very nice store with quality items. Lots of beautiful, early 20th century pieces and some 19th century. Tons of gorgeous copperware, wood chests, and primitives. The entire third floor is furniture. Unfortunately, everything is priced at nearly 2x market value. It's just too expensive compared to other stores. If not for that, I would have come home with an armful of items. Still, I will be keeping an eye out for sales.

Read David B. review it's quite obvious he doesn't know what an antique is! The barn is filled with some of the best antiques i have seen in a mall in a long time. I highly recommend stopping the quality is excellent. He got one thing right Mushrooms Cafe is really good i had the mikewiche roastbeef sharp provolone top with a mushroom gravy so goood!!
