"Walking through the front doors of Anthony's is like walking into Narnia— completely awe-inspiring and wonderful. Their collection is vast, and you could get lost for hours looking through all their rooms. Not only do they have beautiful things for purchase but I found the staff to be friendly and knowledgable.

"The best way to describe this place is a Wonderland. Seriously, They have a collection of art that would make the queen of England jealous. Art from around the world and from several centuries going back all the way to the 1500's I believe. Micah is amazing and knows the story to almost every piece in the place. When art has a story it becomes so much more than beautiful. I highly recommend that you go check this place out and see for yourself."
