Lion's Paw Antiques & Collectables

We cannot thank owner Sammy enough for his professional advice when he came to our home to evaluate estate items we want to sell. Not from St. Petersburg we were at a loss as to how to empty out a house we had just inherited of its valuables. I have complete faith that Sammy not only knows his antiques and their value, but is so incredibly honest, straight/forward and generous in the amounts he paid us for our silver and other decorative items. The process was so easy. We had considered selling on E-Bay but it would have taken months and we no doubt would end up with the same profit that Sammy offered us or much less-instantaneously and with no pressure or work attached.. He is honest and frankly generous in his offers. Sammy has clearly gained his excellent reputation for a reason. We had the pleasure of visiting Sammy?s store on Central. Great finds and great prices. I am truly grateful to our friend who recommended Sammy. I couldn?t give him higher praises and thanks!

I?ve been to plenty of antiques & vintages stores from New York City, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course Florida and I want to say Lion?s Paw is my favorite! It holds such beautiful and unique antique jewelry (also high end such as David Yurman) and luxury bags. Gorgeous furnitures and home decor for home decorating. So many different collectibles imaginable. It?s a place you?ll find your treasures. It?s a MUST VISIT when visiting St Petersburg! Another awesome thing is that the owners were so nice. Sam was kind to give up some of his time to educate myself and my cousin about certain items. He was also reasonable with prices. Just ask!

Two days ago we sold a number of items to the Paw and received a fair price. The owner came in on his day off to help us. Amazing service. Great integrity. We also found the shop filled with a stunning amount of unusual and eclectic items. It's a don't miss!

What a lovely surprise to walk into the Lion?s Paw. They were recommended to me since I was interested in selling my mom?s old silver jewelry that is not made by any named jeweler. The staff was very helpful?.and what a fun place to discover bargains.

First impression was not good at all. Store was very dusty, broken cases that were taped and many items were way overpriced. When I was comparing pricing online, the owner was rude, got mad then refused to sell the item me. I left empty handed and very disheartened.

The Lions Paw is one of my favorite places. They have so many rooms filled with unique items. The owner doesn?t rush you?he spends time with you and will explain everything you want to know. Prices are extremely welcoming and reasonable. I highly recommend this shop it will not disappoint.

Sammy was a pleasure to work with. I had various collectibles to sell from an estate and he offered fair and honest amounts for my items. It is a challenge to know who can be trusted to provide service with integrity when selling collectibles. Sammy clearly takes this seriously when working with his clients. I will definitely work with Sammy again in the future.
