I've been to a fair amount of antique stores throughout the country, but this one rivals them all. The collection of unique outdoor items is unparalleled. The interior section is surprisingly large as well as it feels like you are in a maze with more interesting pieces around every corner. I'll have to admit that I've been trying to go here for years, but rarely find myself in Newport during the week from 10-4, but I'm glad I got to finally stop it.
One of the salespeople, Harrison, was very friendly and informative as well. He also mentioned that Aardvark Antiques will do personal, custom castings as well. Like someone else mentioned, bring your checkbook though. The pieces housed here aren't your run of the mill things.

Incredible collection of large architectural components. Both inside and out. Unusual collection of antiques throughout the interior. All laid out to flow you through the building. Don't forget to look up. Many amazing items hanging from the ceilings. We found a great charcoal rubbing framed picture that goes well with one we already have. This place is not loaded with little trinkets as many other places are.
It's almost as if they followed the "go big or go home" idea. So pick your day, leave yourself some time, and take your time strolling through this great collection. Hopefully you'll find something wonderful to take home!

Always a fun and entertaining place to look for just the right piece of statuary or outdoor stone or masonry. Helpful and accommodating service. Can also do welding repairs.
