We, the husband and wife team of Ellen Hughes and George Thompson, moved from Fairbanks, Alaska to Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1989 to pursue our dream of opening an antique store. Collectors since childhood, we began our part-time antique business by exhibiting at numerous antique shows and malls. As our inventory and breadth of knowledge grew, we purchased a large commercial building in the historic district of downtown Carlisle.
At Antiques on Hanover Street we maintain and abide by our pricing policy. We do this in order to be fair and consistent with all of our customers, whom we value greatly. We make every attempt to keep our prices reasonable and when we price our items we do not leave room for negotiating. Our policy states that we offer a 5% discount when paying by check on non sale items.

The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 star is because it lacked items of my interest and desire to be poor. Majority of inventory was large antique wooden furniture with hefty price tags which I am not keen on. If furniture is your desire than by all means this is the place. As for me, I will most likely not be back.

Overpriced and not very friendly. Also, will not negotiate at all. I wonder how they are still in business? Very little customer service also, and push offish.almost like you are bothering them to be in their store or god forbid, ask a question! 2 each their own but if you serve the general public, and have a bad day (if that was is the day I was there) try to at least put on a face happy face temporarily for me. Thank you.

I have been buying and collecting furniture for over 40 years. One of my favorite shops in central Pennsylvania is Antiques on Hanover. Ellen and George are always willing to share their knowledge as well as their enthusiasm about each piece when asked. Every time I have seriously inquired about something they point out even the slightest nick, scratch or minor defect -- never have I felt they were hiding anything regarding condition. When I look at some of the sophisticated things I have bought from them I smile and think 5 STARS!

Stopped by one day with a friend and the person tending the register apparently decided we were not serious customers - after glaring at us for 10 minutes, she actually turned the lights off on us. Most of their things are misidentified and overpriced. Also, the shop positively reeks of furniture polish. That's always a very bad sign because a good scratch cover polish can hide a lot of damage. Update - I read the response posted by the owner. Seemed to me more of an advertisement than a legitimate response. Nevertheless, I stand behind every word I wrote, with the exception of the part about the register - I can't honestly say I specifically recall seeing a cash register.
But the furniture polish, the turning off the lights on us, the misidentified and overpriced items - absolutely accurate reflection of my experience in this store. And yes, I do know which store I was in.

What a pleasure it has been working with Ellen and George! I am an on line buyer who has purchased many antiques in Europe and the US over the last 35 years. After seeing the RJ Horner vanity on line, I contacted Ellen. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and answered all of my questions. After that conversation I decided to purchase all the matching pieces!
They were delivered yesterday by a shipping company Ellen selected. The pieces arrived to Colorado in perfect order. Peter (shipper) helped set up all the pieces. The antique furniture had special attachment mechanisms for mirrors and he did a wonderful job. I am so pleased with my purchase. This set is so gorgeous that I smile when i see it. Thanks for an awesome buying experience.
