There are some great items in this store. Beautiful paintings. Lovely furniture. Cool, unique items. But the prices are prohibitive. I had a good time looking over everything, but each time I turned over a tag, I cringed. Maybe I have expensive taste, but I didn’t see anything less than $ 300. I’m not even saying the items aren’t worth it; I’ve worked in the industry, and it is rare that I see something that I haven’t encountered before. I did see some genuinely unique things here, but the prices reminded me of Old Town Alexandria more than sleepy Culpeper. Bottom line? If you’ve got deep pockets then have a field day, but don’t go looking for a deal.

This place was awesome. You can tell that everything in there was selected because it is worth something. The proprietor gave us 20% for paying in cash and a steep discount on something special. She was professional and knew where everything was in addition to the history behind it. She wrapped everything very well and opened with negotiations in a welcoming manner. Also, there is a lot of sterling silver. Did I mention that everything of value in the store is polished frequently?

I’m normally skeptical of main-street antique stores in cutesy little towns, and I only went in because I parked my car right in front of this store and was curious. But what a pleasant surprise! While I found the prices a bit high on some things, Quail at the Wood had some top-notch items, including a crotch mahogany julep stand that yours truly itched to bring home. The proprietor is lovely and knowledgeable, and I definitely recommend a stop here.
