Editorial Review for San Carlos Street Antiques – by Pamela Russell

The Store
When you're not in a hurry, roam four well-stocked rooms, a patio and a carriage house full of grand old goods. Newer items are intermingled with antiques, adding an element of variety. Co-owned by dealers who purchase estates and single items, and occasionally make daytime house calls, it's an inviting collector's playground. The collectability factor is great throughout, with high-end glassware and porcelain figurines kept under lock and key. The store is relatively busy on weekends.

The Goods
Wonderful finds include lots of decorating, design and gift-giving possibilities. Beer signs and steins, beautifully seasoned furniture, beveled mirrors, working old radios, dolls, magazines, soda fountains, photography, classic typewriters, timepieces, sports memorabilia, jewelry and much more. Most pieces are in excellent condition and reflect the painstaking handiwork of late-19th and early-20th century artisans and craftsmen.
