Hamiltons Of Pelham
We are a retail outlet bringing to the area a selection of first-quality, affordable home and garden art. The accessories we carry are art-inspired. Combining our travel experiences and appreciation for quality work creates an interesting and eclectic collection of must-have gifts. Our pieces fit well both in the garden and the home.

Their origins stretch from Vietnam to the Island of Crete, and their age from nearly new to hundreds of years old. Each piece is one of a kind, though variations of the same piece are available. Our chimes enchant, bringing pleasant and distinctly tuned melodies to your garden. Created by Grammy award winner Garry Kvistad, each chime transports you.

Hamiltons of Pelham was opened in December of 2012 by my parents, Dick and Janet. They brought to Niagara a passion for art and unique gifts that could be shared with anyone. And when, in September of 2020 they decided that it was time to retire, the opportunity to purchase Hamiltons of Pelham and carry on the family business was a great fit.
It is not enough to see these globes in a picture--to get a true idea of their essence, one must see these globes up close! Constantly rotating, Mova Globes use a sophisticated motion mechanism powered by ambient light to drive the globe's continuous rotation. Our unique spinning globes combine power from ambient light and torque from the earth's magnetic field to create soothing rotations.
We offer a beautiful line of glazed Vietnamese outdoor pottery, and indoor pottery. Our collections include high quality frost resistant pottery of all shapes and sizes as well as styles suitable for indoor decor. From island of Crete, the pots in this collection continue a centuries-old Greek tradition.

Heritage going back to the mighty civilization of the Minoans 4000 years ago, invests pride in today's potters of the Thrapsano region of Crete, creating pots and pithoi using traditional techniques, materials and designs from their Minoan ancestors.

The pots are made from local clays - carefully sourced form two different mountain areas - which are hand thrown on the wheel and then fired at 1150c using residue from the island's olive harvest to fuel the fire.These high temperatures guarantee quality. Originally the large pithoi were used for storing olive oil, wine, grain and honey etc whilst the smaller pots stored olives, pickles, cheese and salt etc.

As we are still in lockdown and shopped online I was greatly impressed with how they answered my telephone questions. Thrilled as well that they wrapped my purchased as it was a Birthday Gift. My friend loved the choice as well. Thanks for the guidance, much appreciated. Looking forward to returning again to your unique shop once the lockdown is over. Hamiltons of Pelham will be my first stop!

Nice friendly staff and store. A bit pricey for day to day stuff but they have some fantastic show/conversation pieces. Plus they give some history of each piece. Like the artist, material, region and what inspired each piece or artist

I've purchased a number of items for my own home and as gifts for others. Interesting and often very unique items. Recently, I purchased a small collector piece as a gift for a loved one. The item taken out of the display case was not damaged but when my gift was opened by the recipient it was slightly. The store owner had gift wrapped the item for me. This gift was in a gift box and was hand delivered and not mailed so it was definitely not damaged from purchase to delivery. I suspect Hamilton's replaced the display item with one that was in their inventory but were unaware this replacement from
