Editorial Review for Fellenz Antiques – by John S. McFarland
The Plot
Imagine this: You're looking for architectural antiques in St. Louis, a fireplace, perhaps, or some ornamental iron or decorative tilework. You might check the malls and neighborhood antique shops. You might find the occasional rusted mantelpiece or Beaux Arts newel post. But let's say you need one spindle to match one missing from the bannister of the old house you just bought. After your sixth stop with no sucess, you'll need to check in with the final authority on the subject, Fellenz Antiques.
The Denouement
Fellenz is a warehouse-like building with a familiar bust of Jupiter in the window. Inside, it's a dusty, half-lit cavern of wood and iron. Grab a flashlight at the counter. You'll need it. There are a million items piled to the ceiling and on into the darkness at the back of the shop. Old doors and mantels stacked in layers leave only a path a few inches wide to walk on. But if you're lucky, agile and persistent, you'll find your spindle.

once you enter the door you're hooked. it's eye candy from rafters to floor. if you are looking for the perfect piece to restore your home to it's vintage splendor or adding a new (old) piece to your home, business, office or anywhere THIS IS THE PLACE!!! doors.............. windows.............art glass........... mantels........ iron gates................ so many things it's to hard to mention. come in and meet Mr. Fellenz. he is most helpful!!!! when you have made your selection there is hardware, as well, if needed. i was looking for old exterior store double doors and pocket doors..... got them both and great hardware as well. couldn't be more happy.
Pros: the variety is endless, personal service
Cons: paid parking
