I have walked past Brodney's a number of times, and I finally was able to have some free time to stop in today. This is a beautiful antique & estate store, and it has been family owned for 75 years. There are so many beautiful items in here, from jewelry to decor to art. There's many collectors items that you cannot find anywhere else! Olga helped me pick out some beautiful diamond earrings, and we had great rapport speaking about different items from jewelry, to watches, to the beautiful Russian malachite obelisks in the front that always catch my eye in the front window.

She was extremely patient and welcoming, going into detail about each item I was looking into. I didn't feel pressured to purchase anything, even though I spent an ample amount of time looking around at absolutely every item. The owner was also very nice and helpful. If you have the time, I definitely recommend stopping by. There's something here for everyone at practically every price point.

Always fantastic! Too many pretty things to choose from! Owners and staff are so knowledgeable. I often walk in, state an occasion, age and a little about the person and they will always present several options. Not only is everything beautiful and unique, you have the satisfaction of shopping at a long-time, family-owned business. A great place to find a special gift for someone special, or something special for yourself &/or your own home.

I would give Brodney's 12 stars if that rating were available. Great selection of merchandise, superior, awesome customer service and fair pricing. I hadn't been shopping in a long time, thanks to Covid, but what a way to dive back in. This is a MUST stop for jewelry hounds in Boston! Thrilled with my purchase! They did exactly what they promised to make my ring ready for me! I'll be back the next time I'm in Boston!

We found this quaint antique shop while waiting for a restaurant to open. Although we had to be buzzed in-which can be intimidating, the staff was friendly & welcoming. They showed us any item that caught our eye. My daughter found a pair of earrings with hand painted portraits on them. I was intrigued! The lady told me hey we're over 100 year old buttons from a mans vest-retooled into earrings. I bought them & adore them. I recommend stopping here to find an ancient treasure!

Very nice people with a truly unique curated collection. I purchased two pieces of fine jewelry and couldn't be happier with their professionalism and quality. They even shipped them to me with minor modifications. A+ Thank you!

Wonderful family owned antique store. Fantastic collection of antique jewelry. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are super kind, patient and understanding with indecisive &/or unconfident shoppers! The store has great history, with important Boston connections (be sure to ask about the Brodney paintings in the State house!).
