Why Just Looking Antiques?

As a shop owner and show dealer since 1996, I can't count the times I've asked pleasantly if I could help someone, only to hear the equally pleasant response "just looking."

Well, it never hurts to look. Because you just might find something you can't pass up. At Just Looking Antiques, we certainly hope so! Use the Contact Us link below to tell us if there is something special you are looking for.
