Chancery Lane Antiques, which was founded in the fall of 1995, is the outgrowth of a lifetime interest in antique silver. Doris Matthews' mother was in "the business" back in the fifties. Her father started the silver collection at Cheekwood, a local museum. He was president of the English Speaking Union here. When owner Doris Matthews discovered her first pair of Matthew Boulton Old Sheffield salts in England in the late 1950s, a personal passion was born. Named after the location of the famed silver vaults in London, Chancery Lane Antiques specializes in fine antique silver, unique small antiques of tortoiseshell, ivory, mother of pearl and shagreen as well as jewelry from the British Isles. The collection includes pieces from England and Scotland produced during the years 1650 to 1950.

Simply the Best for Antiques 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been shopping here since they opened their Belle Meade Galleria store. The merchandise is consistently the finest in Nashville for small antiques. The owner, Doris Matthews, really enjoys sharing her knowledge about each item. She works by appointment only now so CALL AHEAD. Yesterday, I found an unusual tea/coffee service in its own custom-made wood box - perfect for my son's wedding gift! There were so many one-of-a-kind items that it was hard to choose. Loving cups, marriage cups, candelabra, trays, tortoiseshell boxes were a just a few of the selections. I love this store!!!!

A very neat store with lots of ideas for gifts specially at this time of year when the holidays are upon us.

Local Antiques Store Featured in National Publications 5 Star Rating - World class

Our very own fantastic Nashville antiques store is featured in the Nov 06 issue of Martha Stewart Living in an article on Old Sheffield Plate. Many of the article photographs contain items taken from the cabinets at Chancery Lane Antiques. See the "credits" in the back of the magazine.
Last year, I found an article in Oct 05 issue of Traditional Home magazine that not only featured some items from the Nashville store but quoted the owner - Doris Matthews - as a specialist in Georgian "fused" plate.
Great selections thoroughly researched in a comprehensive in-store library.

Pros: Friendly staff - with a "story" for each item. Unique pieces not seen elsewhere.
Cons: Cannot not do free appraisals and identifications. Fee is $100 per hour. 3 hr min.

Very Fine Store 5 Star Rating - World class

I have visited museums all my life. This place comes as close to a museum as I have seen in an antiques store. The owner, Doris Lebo, shares her knowledge of anitque silver, tortoiseshell and ivory with grace.

Pros: Large inventory, Wide range of prices, Collector quality
