    Not much to see here. Most sellers aren’t present and most antiques are stored in a lackluster way. The items are for a very specific clientele which is definitely not the ordinary person looking for interesting pieces. It could be viewed as a museum, however none of the pieces are put in the forefront. If you are looking for an interesting afternoon in a museum-like environment, then this is the place. If your looking to buy antiques, this is most likely not the right place.

    I've been to the open-air Bermondsey Market and a number of others in London, in Amsterdam and Antwerp, over the years. Contrast them to a collective indoor consortium down the block from Sutton Place. Here, there are real professional-specialist types as to paintings, clocks, furniture, jewelry, sculpture, lighting, rugs, antiquarian books, Judaica, tapestry, china, crystal. Some dealers are approachable, some appear apathetic, but not one acts as if they're doing you a favor. Like any time you need to spend discretionary resources, or sell what you hold, you need to do thorough research. Be sure of that authenticity. Once you do, you can be overjoyed with your prized possession(s) ! Pertinent: Many vendors are closed on Saturday.

  • 3/5 Joe W. 7 years ago on Google • 1096 reviews
    Imagine all your oldest relative's attics, furniture and fine silver tucked away in one location in individual 'stores' of varying themes and prices. Many of the stalls are closed with contact information so you can only view with your face pressed against the glass or grates. Other stalls are open and staffed by friendly and not-so-friendly owners who seem bent on not selling their antiques. A mixed bag, but lots of fun to shop and worth the journey to the east side of Manhattan.

    Very happy that the Art & Antiques Center is open...Sunday was my first time to return since March. Public spaces were spotless. The main entrance was manned by a very pleasant gentleman, professionally dressed with a tie. After saying good afternoon, he politely asked that I sign the guest book (for tracing, if necessary), took my temperature, then welcomed me to the Center. All very civilized. The Center is a treasure trove of virtually every possible period with something for every collector. My favorite shop is David Meyers Antiques on the lower lever just off of the spiral staircase. David is extremely well versed in his collections offered in his shop...one area of import is Chinese Export. Also an excellent range of European pieces. A very polite and articulate dealer...affordable prices, too!

    Highly recommended. Very interesting spot. There are literally dozens of independent stores spread across 3 levels. There are all sorts of treasures to find and deals to snag. They after open on weekends, even Sundays! Unfortunately many of the independent dealers are closed though. For the best experience, try to go during a week day.

    Incredible treasures to find there. Its basically on of the best 'museums' in Manhattan - and you can actually shop there. Even though you may need the necessary changes and space for some of the items. Incredible things to see in the many stores. Check it out for yourself :)

    Well-decorated but expensive boutique antique store. Everything is great, just the prices are debatable and a visit is recommended (it doesn't cost anything to look, so why not?).

  • 1/5 PengyBoby 3 years ago on Google
    First impression was awful. I wrote an urgent(even put urgent in the subject box) and brief email to this building asking a simple yes or no question. Three days later no response or sign of them even opening it. I can imagine its busy over there, but three days straight of busy to where you cant read a 3 sentence email and say yes or no? Nah.

    Newman is a pleasant person but they don't purchase art anymore. The owner sells, restores, and frames art...
