The Chapman Collection — Local services in Solana Beach

It is with great pleasure that I write this review about Melissa Chapman, owner of The Chapman Collection. Melissa has been immersed in the world of antiques at a young age, having been raised by an antiques expert in London.

Melissa opened her first shop in London when she was only 19 years old. During this time she also wrote a book on Persian carpets. “Unveiling the Mystery That Surrounds Persian Carpets.”

She eventually branched out from her specialty of Persian carpet and into antiques. Melissa has not only followed in the footsteps of her mother, an antiques expert, she has also paved her own way and navigated the business, which is changing rapidly, and grow her antiques business in this day of technology. At the same time Melissa has continued that tradition of showcasing and selling fine quality antiques and craftsmanship with The Chapman Collection, which has beautiful pieces that are stand-alone works of art.

Regarding the antiques and Persian carpets, Melissa is a seasoned antiques expert with over 25 years of business experience and is very knowledgeable about every piece. The pieces she carries hails from all over the world, of which she also personally travels to obtain. Melissa is very friendly and helpful and has an eye to what a client would want in their home, almost like a personal shopper for your home! If you are in search of a conversation piece of art or a high-quality piece furniture Melissa is the person you will...

I cannot say enough good things about The Chapman Collection. What an absolute gem! They have some of the most beautiful pieces (and I'm hard to impress with a very niche style in home furnishings), and even better staff. They have amazing variety, their prices are fair, and the quality is unmatched! Melissa (the owner) has been amazing to work with. She not only gave us a great deal, she treated us like family the moment we walked in. She happily talked us through every question under the sun and was genuinely passionate about each piece we inquired about. She is experienced and her number one priority is customer satisfaction. They have hundreds of imported fabrics in case you love a piece but not the upholstery, and are happy to help you find/create the perfect piece for your space. This place deserves all the recognition in the world. Couldn't be happier with my purchases and cannot wait to...

The best customer service you will ever have! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa and Ron over the last six months as I found carpets for my new place. Their collection of authentic and certified Hamadan carpets is like none other in QUALITY, UNIQUENESS, and PRICE. (Search places like Etsy for years and you wont find carpets like these let alone for the price). They are so incredibly lovely and flexible, allowing me to take home a few carpets to try, and bring back the ones that didn't work! They also have complementary delivery and Ron stopped by to see the space and give advice on carpets and sizing. They have kindly held items for us as well. You will never worked with kinder or more lovely people than the folks at The Chapman Collection. All photos taken in natural light with no filter, each carpet will appear differently colored depending on which side you...
