R. Spencer Antiques is a lovely store! I found a wonderful tile from them when I visited Portland and did not end up purchasing it then, but later when I reached out email they were kind of enough to track it down for me, let me pay over PayPal, and ship it to my home. It was such nice customer service.

It was great to work with the Spencer family to sell a very special antique dresser that’s been in our family for over 30 years. I am confident they will make sure it goes to a good home. I will be using their services in the future for any other antiques. Great Portland business to support!

R. Spencer Antiques came down to Salem to purchase my parents 100 year old Luce Dining Room set, with 5 chairs, side board, mirror buffet, table with two leaves. They came down prepared to respect the furniture with an enclosed u-haul, moving pads, tie downs, and tools (if necessary). They recognized the value and quality of the furnishings they were about to receive. Treating this quality of furniture is important, as it isn't just some random thing to store old paint cans on in the outside rain. Their knowledge and expertise made it very easy to work with them and I highly recommend them for

They were great to deal with. Spent a lot of time going through each piece individually and weighing. I would not hesitate to do further business with them.

When my Dad died, I was left with his beautiful and very much treasured antiques. I was referred to Spencer's Antiques and little did I know how pivotal they would be in everything. They purchased items for their store and very quickly had them up on social media for sale. You could tell from the write up that they treasured them as much as my late father had-- it made me so happy. In addition, they provided much needed guidance based on their over 50 years of experience on how to honor my Dad's remaining antiques. Several were in disrepair but still quite beautiful and they helped me find the

This store is the best. We've been buying things here for ages, since the time that Sellwood was Portland's attic, where nearly all the stores sold antiques and, well, whatever else you might find in an attic. Spencer was always one of the best. They have great stuff at great prices. We recently bought a walnut dresser that's probably seen over 100 years and is built to see another hundred.
At prices that are competitive with Ikea, it's hard to know why you wouldn't go with something that will last (and comes put together). Plus, you can save money and buy tiny meatballs when you want them and

Last week we visited again after not being able to go there for a time. It is one of our favorite shops in Portland, and these days we are especially mindful of places and people in the community we appreciate. Purchased a lovely French antique mantle clock and got some great advice and help improving an heirloom table we have. Later looked around the house at all the other pieces we’ve acquired there over time and enjoy so much. There is always a great selection of furniture and collectibles, more than reasonable prices and friendly, very knowledgeable folks.

I have to tell you this family is honest and very pleasant. I took some things in to sell but we didn't make any transactions. To make a long story short. When I got home I couldn't fine the jade earings I had taken there. I called them later that evening and they found them on the floor. The son remember us being there. They put them in a plastic with a note belongs to a man and women that came in with snuff bottles to sell. Thank you so much for caring and saving them for me. You all are awesome. Carolyn

Last week I set up an appointment to have some antiques looked at today at 11:00am. I sent the company a detailed email and pictures of what my Mother-in law had for sale. I called yesterday and confirmed our appointment today. I explained I have two littles 2 and under and I'm coming from across town to meet them. So if they need to reschedule I'd appreciate advanced notice.

Today I packed up the kids and for those of you have forgotten what this entails with 2 littles during nap and feeding time this means the following: traveling high chair, kids potty, kids chair, lunch, bottles

Should retire tells you he will do something and doesn't. Makes appointment and doesn't keep it and you don't ever hear anything from him. Wastes your time and day. I strongly suggest staying away from them!

Bob and Marcia were extremely kind. I sold some crystal, pewter, and china here. Bob paid me a decent price for it all. He was fun to talk to. He really knows antiques! And when I had to come back later and retrieve the china my wife had intended to keep they generously returned the items without a fee. I was very impressed with this business.
