Re-Unique Antiques

I met Akill this weekend when my husband, son and I stopped by his shop.

What a beautifully displayed shop. Even the smell of the shop was so pleasant, not musty and stuffy like most shops.

My son purchased a metal sign and I some specialty soap. The lemongrass soap and the other green soap. I forget the name. The smell of the soaps was so soothing. I exchanged my connection to the lemongrass one with Akill.

Akill is such a knowledgeable, interesting, and kind man. I did not meet his wife but I read that she designed the layout of the shop. I’m sure she is just as interesting as he is.

The short time we spent chatting he made us laugh, smile and travel the world looking at his collection. He took his time to explain some of his cherished findings and we loved listening to the background and history.

I wish I could have bought more. Maybe another time.

I am so glad we stopped in and believe I should share good experiences. We hear so much bad in the world. I like to highlight the good.

So if you find yourself in the area stop by and walk through his shop and look at all the beautiful pieces he has collected.

The hidden gem of Old Saybrook; perfect place for antique lovers. Everything is so unique, collected from all over the world by the owner. This is my favorite antique shop!

Akil is an exceptional purveyor and person with a large array of worldly antiquities with the stories to match. I look forward to our next visit and purchase!

I was browsing the pictures the shop posted on facebook. I saw a small hutch with upper glass doors. It is exactly what I want to store my colorful fabrics in.

Lovely shop lots of great items and plenty of art and unique items....

Excellent, warm and friendly customer service with an ever-changing, wonderful selection!

Very friendly. Interesting things from around the world.

I've bought a bunch of stuff from this place over the years. the gentleman there has always been very polite. He's always very friendly. He seems extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend the place to others.

This shop definitely had interesting items. I kind of felt like I was in a museum. However, everything in the shop is in the hundreds of dollars range. Nothing is within the standard range thar I've experienced when antiquing all over the country and coasts. I did enjoy the French music that was playing, but all in all I'd skip this stop our next time through as it just wasn't for us.

I did not buy anything here, but the antiques here are definitely unique… some were a little creepy lol The owner was kinda pushy and tried to get me to buy his all-natural soaps so that made me hesitant about exploring the store further. Anyway, seems like a great place for unusual antique finds if you are into that.

The owner is pretty dishonest. I’ve asked about the same item three times in the past year (hoping he’d lower his outrageous asking price), and each time he came up with a different backstory about the item. I guess he didn’t remember me. Sleazy car salesman type - you’ve been warned!
