It is fitting that Keil's is on Royal street, each piece inside is fit for a Queen, or King. If you are after quality antiques to decorate your home with, I highly encourage you to stop in to Keil's. With 4 continuous generations in the business, these are the experts you want to speak with for all things antique. Situated on four levels, one dedicate to French décoré, another dedicated to English, you are sure to find the commode, semainier, chaise ou chandelier you have been searching for to complete you decorating style. Should furniture not be what you're after, don't worry, Keil's has a fabulous and I mean stunning collection of jewels! Emeralds, Rubies, Diamonds and Pearls. Cuffs, bracelets and chandelier earrings to add sparkle to your life. Gents, they even have the most beautiful cuff links I have ever seen. You need them, get 'em!Staff is extremely friendly and patient. My husband and I were allowed time to walk the floor without being hovered over but able to ask questions when curious about certain pieces. No pressure put on us to purchase right away. In fact, the owners are very experienced with shipping nationally and are familiar with other reputable antique businesses. Including one I frequent in California. If you've ever moved in the world of antiques, you definitely want to buy from a shop that knows other top antique owners in the nation! Keil's is definitely going to be my go-to when it comes time to decorate our home. They will definitely be my new favorite place decorate my fingers and ears too!! I love a good statement piece.

I went to Keil's with my friend with the intention of buying jewelry. Keil's is a beautiful store and has an amazing selection of high-end antique jewelry and furnishings. However, the service is extremely poor.I understand that I visited the store during a very busy time (Mardis Gras), but I was still appalled by the service I received from Maggie. Quite literally as soon as I entered the store I could tell that Maggie did not want me in there. I am pretty knowledgeable about jewelry and wanted to take my time to browse the selection before making a purchase, which is something Maggie does not apparently understand despite working at a high end antique store. I guess Maggie does not think anybody dressed in everyday clothes (linen pants and a blouse) should enter the store she works at. Maggie kept making pointed comments about how I should just look at their selection online, and literally told me to move out of the way at one point when other customers that appeared more desirable entered. Every time I asked to look at a piece of jewelry, Maggie would scoff and bring it out, acting as though I had asked her to scrape some gum off my shoe. I mentioned that I had visited Keil's a couple years ago while I was in college and loved a pendant, but wasn't able to purchase it since I was a STUDENT and of course was not able to afford a pendant that cost thousands of dollars. Maggie brought this up twice in a very condescending tone, one time even being after I had made my purchase. After Maggie saw that I bought earrings (that had a 4 digit price tag), her entire demeanor changed. She suddenly cared about my interests and made sure I packed my earrings safely. I would not have purchased the earrings if I had not met Roberta, who was extremely kind, understanding, and ultimately helped me make my selection. I was hoping that Roberta would be credited for helping me make my purchase, but this was sadly not possible since Maggie had been the employee to "help" me first. Keil's is a beautiful store, but I would not recommend it to any of my friends unless they could ensure that Roberta would be the employee helping them.

Cool spot for things like celebrity autographed posters and photos. Saw autographed photos by Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, etc. Would make great gifts for super fans.

Like many of the antiques shops along Royal, Keil's caters to a higher-end crowd with some eye-poppingly expensive furniture. But it was deservedly so; they pick good quality stuff to put in their showroom, and I'm sure they're doing well for themselves. I had to make myself leave before a pocket watch might have decided to follow me home ... and the next time I'm in town I'll tempt myself again in here.

Amazing place. Followed another review about this place and Roberta Ramsdell. Went there for jewels and stayed for the furniture. Bought a piece and she arrange shipping. I will absolutely go back next time I am in town.

Our third time in New Orleans, our third time at Keils, our third time being assisted by Roberta. Another amazing purchase! We hadn't been there for years and yet she remembered and she knew what we would like. I can't say enough good things about how lucky Keils is to have such a talented, kind employee. We returned yet again because of the fabulous service and the beautiful antique jewelry.

Popped in on a rainy Thursday to look at some beautiful rings I saw on the window. Employees were rude, dismissive, and one associate immediately started following my boyfriend (who is black, I am white for full disclosure ) around the store while staring daggers at him. If you don't want customers, don't be open. Disgusting.

A wonderful find on Royal Street, where we had a terrific experience thanks to Roberta Ramsdell. Incredibly warm, down-to-earth, and gracious, she spent so much time with me and my daughter. In a place that could seem intimidating, she instead shared all of the beautiful treasures behind the jewelry counter with appreciation and enthusiasm. We highly recommend this store thanks to Roberta's grace, humor, and incredible customer service!

We went window shopping for antique engagement rings and found ours here! Roberta helped us try on a few. She even remembered an intial price inquiry email I'd sent her a couple months earlier. We live in Atlanta & she helped coordinate staggered payments and shipping. They also carry some more affordable new rings made in vintage styles. We actually only looked at jewelry, which is right by the front - so I can't really comment on the rest of the store, but the service we received was great & we are very happy with the purchase.
