Gaslight Antiques Tampa, Florida

Gaslight antiques is far above any antique store I?ve ever been to. Not only the best antiques, but the friendliest, most knowledgeable owners. Definitely worth checking this place out!

I always enjoy shopping at Gaslight Antiques! There are countless unique treasures. The owners do an excellent job providing the perfect selection. I always find exactly what I am looking for!

I can?t stop thinking about visiting this place and seeing a number of anachronisms. Some of their pieces are legitimate, but they also appear to upscale cheap modern things to pass off as antiques and charge exorbitant prices for them, or they repaint older items to meet modern sensibilities of what antiques ?should? look like. The pieces are beautiful, interesting, and clean, and the collection is well curated, so if you?re mainly looking for nice decorative pieces this may be the place for you. If you?re looking for collectible antiques and authenticity is important, you may want to consider having a second opinion from an expert before you spring for something since originals and doctored pieces are intermixed throughout the store and the prices aren?t cheap. Update, in response to owners? commentary: it should be noted I am not the first reviewer to make comments of this nature, including other reviewers who noted they bought things they later discovered were fakes. Perhaps the owner is speaking the truth that they do not repaint things, but then I would wonder where they source things like this apothecary trunk from the 1870s that is clearly painted with the word mescaline even though mescaline was not isolated until 1897 and wasn?t synthesized artificially until 1919 and was additionally unlikely to have been synthesized in quantities large enough to have justified an entire trunk being devoted entirely to hauling it around with the word mescaline painted in it. Perhaps they should vet their suppliers more carefully. Sincerely, a historian of science writing a book on the history of psychedelics.

This store has a wide range of antiques and collectibles. The merchandise and selection is outstanding. However, the couple who own this business, over-price everything. The prices are extremely exorbitant; compared to other antique stores in the Tampa Bay area, I would never shop there again! A friend of mine tried to sell them an exquisite bronze statue on a marble base. The statue was appraised, several years ago, at 5k. Two different appraisers certified that it was indeed, bronze. The owners of the store, told my friend that the statue was not bronze, and that it was worth about $100 dollars. These two owners are not truthful or fair in their dealings. About two months later, I went into the store, and the same exact statue was being sold for $6500. I would never do business with them again. They buy low, and sell high. I get that people need to make a profit, but these two owners will never get my business again.

I absolutely love walking through this place and the lady who owns this place is the nicest person in the world. I don?t know anything about antiques but the prices are ridiculously high and out of my budget. Wish one day they start dropping prices so I can?t afford something without feeling guilty buying it.

My wife and I recently spent some time at Gaslight Antiques, and we thought the place was incredible. The owners were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Everything on the floor was high quality and very authentic. If you're looking for a great place to find that unique piece, or just to look around, this is the place to go. What a selection!

Went here to service the store's AC and was amazed at how great the store was. The store owner is friendly, polite and extremely helpful. Will definitely return as a customer.
