The Antiques Depot

At The Antiques Depot, we take pride in being a family-owned and managed antiques center that has been serving the Connecticut shoreline for over 25 years. Our story began in 1989 when Gary and Myshel Woods founded our business, and since then, we have become known for our vast selection of quality furniture, decorative accessories, and antiques at affordable prices. We take immense pride in maintaining a clean and well-organized store that is a delight to browse.

Our Story

Gary and Myshel Woods, the owners of The Antiques Depot, have a deep passion for antiques and collectibles. They started their business with a small collection of antiques and gradually built it into the renowned store that it is today. Over the years, they have developed a keen eye for spotting rare and unique items, and their extensive knowledge has earned them a reputation as specialist appraisers.

Inventory and Appraisals

At The Antiques Depot, we have a vast and constantly changing inventory of antiques, used furniture, china, glassware, clocks, lighting, artwork, carpets, military items, collectables, nautical items, bronzes, art glass, garden accessories, and outdoor furniture. We receive new shipments daily, and our knowledgeable staff is always happy to help you find what you're looking for. Whether you're an avid collector or simply looking for a unique piece of furniture, we invite you to explore our extensive selection.

Appraisal Services

Our expert team of appraisers has been providing high-quality appraisal services for estates, insurance purposes, and probate for over 25 years. Our extensive reference library and subscription to online databases enable us to research and value your items with precision. We offer appraisal services for a single item or an entire household, and we can usually respond to your inquiry within a few days. Our appraisal fees are competitive and fair, and we can travel to your location or accommodate your appointment at our store.

Selling to Us

We understand the importance of preserving family heirlooms and prized possessions. At The Antiques Depot, we believe in refurbishing and reselling quality jewelry, sterling silver, and other valuable items, rather than melting them down for scrap metal. We offer exceptionally high prices for gold and silver jewelry, coins, sterling silver items, wristwatches, pocket watches, and bullion from renowned designers like Tiffany, Cartier, John Hardy, Judith Ripka, David Yurman, Pandora, and others. We also purchase other valuable items such as antique and used furniture, china, glassware, clocks, lighting, artwork, carpets, military items, collectables, nautical items, bronzes, art glass, garden accessories, and outdoor furniture.
