This 40-dealer antique mall offers functional furniture of American and Asian origin, scattered among a jumble of collectibles..
The Scene
Don't expect an official stamp of authenticity from this country-esque store; many of the items here lack any dates, attribution or specific origin. While interesting stories may lurk behind each item, you might find yourself with more of a conversation piece than a show piece. Each dealer works the floor once a month, so expertise varies. With so many items to choose from, it's easy to take something home precisely because of the mysterious draw that brought you antique shopping in the first place.
The Goods
Many dressers, dining room tables, mirrors and re-upholstered chairs that lean towards the newer end of antique wait for you in plenty. Also in the mix are old tools, crockware, antique linens and mass-issue silver. There are plenty of goods to decorate your child's room, but don't expect any fine art.
