Shaw’sAntiques:
in Nevada City
One might properly call the
look on his face "inscrutable"
.-.f0r it is all of that and more, ® .
and stops the passerby in his
tracks at first glance.
His war paint is fading slightly now, with the passing oftime,
but there is still a gleam on the
surface of the upraised tommyhawk..the feathered headdress
is standing stiffly upright, and
his beads and other items of
attire bespeak warrior status in
whatever tribe he represents.The "Wooden Indian" in thewindow of Shaw's Antiques, 210
Main Street, Nevada City, may
well be considered the self-appointed guardian of a store full
of antiques attesting to the fabled past of Nevada County.
And Maudie May Shaw, owner
and gracious proprietor, has a
genuine love for and appreciation
of that past..and for the facinating array of her "stock
in trade."
Shaw's is noted as the first
real "antique shop" in all of
Nevada County; and was earlier
known as the "Merchandise Exchange," circa 1948. Mrs, Shaw
buys from and sells to aclientel
which comes from near and far
to visit this "landmark" establishment.
For the serious collector or
the casual visitor there are
hundreds of items to inspect
and/or select from..and -several hours should be scheduled
for this purpose to really do
the shop justice.
Among the reminders of past
eras one finds old branding
irons, Indian baskets, beautiful
jewelry, clothing, hanging and
stand lamps from the Victorian
days of formal room decor; old
steamer trunks, Franklin stoves, carved furniture some
inlaid with stunning marble and
mother of pearl; many paintings and old prints, fanciful
figurines intricately designed
and carved; Grandfather and
mantle clocks; stunning candelabra in a variety of styles; kitchen utensiles and dining services..the list is seemingly
endless,
Outstanding items include the
old safe originally used in the
OWNER OF SHAW'S Antique Store in Nevada City is Audie May Shaw who shows some of the
many rare items available at the store.
Ott Assay Office nearby, in the
heyday of the County's mining
activity. It is in daily use at
Shaws.. and bears the name
of Emil J. N. Ott over the
heavy vault door in gold.
Then there are the old phonographs..the original "family
entertainment centers" of a bygone era. Two notable models
are the "Duplex" with the double
horns,.. manufactured some
time before the turn of the century; and a really-rare "Fairy
Phonograph" built into a solid
bronze electric lamp base..
a collector's dream, really.
Shaw's is open six days weekly, usually from 10 a.m. until
5 p.m., or by appointmentand it is closed on Mondays.
In her leisure time, Maudie
May delights in her beautiful
Victorian home in Nevada City,
where her garden is a primary
interest; and where she entertains many visitors.
Her other interests are many,
as attested to by her membership in such local organizations
as the County Historical Society,
Liberal Arts Commission, California Heritage Council, Community Theatre Group, and the
Order of Eastern Star.
A visit to Shaw's Antiques
may be considered a walk into
the past; and Mrs, Shaw will
warmly welcome those who may
care to browse just as she does
the prospective buyer of some
of her treasures. Her appraisals of antiques are based on
a keen knowledge and highest
integrity..she knows her area
and its people well, and is a
delightful conversationalist. At
your earliest opportunity, make
it a point to drop in and meet
her, you'll find the occasion a
rewarding and pleasant one.
