Wakefield-Scearce Antiques Gallery

My mom & I were in Shelbyville for a craft fair. After the fair we decided to stop in at Wakefield. My late great aunt used to stop in & wonder about during the holiday season. My mom visited with her a couple of times when she was a child. This was my first time here.This place felt so special & was a great way to start the holiday season. They have antiques, candles, children's toys, & home decor for sale. There is a restaurant connected to the antique part of the building. There was a wait, but the waitress said we could sit at the bar in the courtyard or anywhere in the courtyard & eat. However, there was a caroler singing holiday music in the courtyard area which was lovely, but we couldn't carry a conversation because the music was so loud. We ultimately decided to go somewhere to get a bite to eat. Definitely recommend checking this place out! & we will definitely make reservations next time for the restaurant!

Made our first visit here today & it is a really impressive place, a cross between an historical treasure, a wonderful museum and a terrific shop for antiques, art, furniture and Home interior items. Fabulous inventory array to explore; some of the items are really pricey, but, prices were not out of line for the items I examined, including very old items, original art and silverware. We spent an hour there & could easily have been there for 2-3 hours more. Purchased quite a few decorative items for the holidays from their extensive offering. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. We will return often!
