Great selection of rare maps at the place. Always find just the right gift and the staff seems to genuinely enjoy helping. Bought a view of Princeton for my wife and she loved it. Thanks Arader Galleries! You were spot on.
My wife and I decided to pop in here on a whim after having lunch around the corner. The window display with antique maps from all over the world is what really caught our attention. We decided to head in to see if they had anything for our new apartment. The atmosphere of this place is absolutely one of a kind. The staff were so pleasant and helped us look through drawers and drawers of prints that they have for sell. My wife and I are just settling down in Philadelphia and couldn't decide on anything that day, but they were kind enough to help us out with ideas and told us if anything new arrived that we may interested in, they'd get in touch. We'll be back for certain to look through the artwork again, this place is a gem.
This place was super cool. Just looking through the gallery was interesting and I could have spent hours doing that. The staff was a mixed bag, so their customer service is probably inconsistent for most people. The prices are fair, but the selection of products is all original and historic, so they can be very expensive depending on your perspective. If you are interested in art or maps in particular I would recommend stopping by.
The collection is excellent and the staff is extraordinary!
Wow, what a neat gallery! Lots of old maps and botanical paintings. We spent almost an hour looking at old prints before settling on a group of yachting prints for our living room. Wish we had more time to look around, but we will come back next trip!
I stopped in to ask about valuing some prints that I own, with an eye toward possibly selling them. The male staff member on duty was the opposite of welcoming and warm. My wife got the heeby jeebies, bad, and pulled me out of there. When I realized the door locks you in as well as out, I felt it too. Weird
W. Graham Arader III specializes in antique maps and rare books. They also have a great reputation for custom framing.
My first interactions with them was via phone and email. I had contacted them about my old NYC map that was originally framed by W. Graham Arader in King of Prussia.
After actually visiting this retail location, I can t imagine trusting my piece to anyone else.
Female Staff was one of the rudest persons I have ever encountered doing business. She would not listen, nor would she answer my questions, would not let me speaker and insulted me by telling me I could not be a CEO of my business which is No. 1 in the World.
What a great find! While walking down Walnut street I stumbled upon a beautiful window of old maps. I could have spent hours in there looking at the vast collection of prints! The staff was extremely helpful and efficient in assisting me with finding what I wanted. Will have to go back soon!
