I have always loved finding small treasures, studying their intricate craftsmanship, and selling them to customers who share my enthusiasm for the skills and ingenuity of artisans from bygone eras. More than 35 years later, Silver Quill Antiques and Gifts continues to grow here in Warren, Michigan.
My original passion was for glass, china, pottery and jewelry from the late 19th century--but that was just the beginning. I soon discovered the many wondrous objects the 20th century has to offer, from the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Deco to Retro and nostalgic fun stuff from the '50s and '60s.

Our collection of handpainted lacquer boxes is represented by four different villages of this Russian folk art: Palekh, Fedoskino, Mstera and Kholui.

It is so light, so gentle, so escaping from the idea of death, that with a lock of hair belonging to a child or friend, we may almost look up to heaven and compare notes with the angelic nature - may almost say, 'I have a piece of thee here, not unworthy of thy being now.' BRACELET c. 1850 - 60. GILT FITTINGS WITH WOVEN HAIRWORK AND HAIR IN FLAT WEAVE UNDER BEVELED GLASS.

The best Antique shop I've been to in a long time! Many treasures hidden in this Gem of a shop off Van Dyke. Lots of cool crystal sculptures and plenty of collectibles to find. Many things I saw I was surprised how cheap some items were and was happy to find a deal! Their collection of sterling silver jewlery was extensive and high quality, will definitely be back soon to scope out some deals!

I LOVE this shop! It's jam-packed with beautiful antiques, collectibles, and gifts, especially glassware, ceramics, and costume jewelry, all at good prices (including some true bargains). The owner is very knowledgeable about the items. It's not an enormous store, but they've packed in all it can hold, and it's almost too much for your eyes to take it all in (in a good way), so plan to be in there for a while! They also package your purchases very well. They currently have a strict mask-required policy in place for all visitors, so please expect that and respect their choice.
