Review of Robert Young Antiques

I love this place. When I was first going to visit, I had assumed that because it was antiques, it would be a shop full of dusty bric-a-brac that I would spend 5 minutes in browsing and then leave. As it turns out, I spent a few hours there, and I wanted to go back as soon as I could. Not only does their treenware collection contain some of the most beautiful objects I have had the pleasure to see, but the smell of the place and the attention to detail really, really surprised me. I didn't know I loved "naive" and "folk art", and maybe I wouldn't if I hadn't visited such a lovely place to start learning. I now own a few pieces of my own from RYA and look forward to receiving their catalogue (3 times a year!)
