Manhattan Art & Antiques Center reminds me of the Louvre des Antiquaires in Paris.
Multi-level building filled with stalls of vendors selling all kinds of antiques, ranging from furniture, to crystal / porcelain, to art / sculpture, to precious jewelry. Pieces also range from unsigned to ultra high-end, provenanced, designer lovelies from the likes of Oscar Heyman, Tiffany's, VCA, Cartier.....you get the idea
Not all pieces are vintage but are in vintage-style so pays to ask if you cannot already tell. Prices at all the stalls we visited were negotiable, so I imagine this is common throughout the Antiques Center
Very quiet place, very few visitors, & there were more than several stalls empty / under construction.....but even so, this is well worth an hour or 2 to browse the clocks, vases, statues & sparklies & who knows? You just might walk out of there w/ a treasured trinket or bauble
And if you live out of state ( like we do ), there's no sales tax & they'll ship for free!
Best tip I read was something about many of the vendors not being open on Saturdays, so we visited on a Friday & just about everything that could have been open, was.....we also noted some of the stalls that were not open, did have signs on their doors stating they were appointment-only
Final side note not specific to this place but for all vintage establishments: Whenever purchasing signed antiques, you *definitely* want to do your homework and make sure you get authenticity-refund guarantees / provenances / etc.... IN WRITING - since there are unscrupulous people out there in the world. Don't get fooled!!
