Metropolitan Fine Arts & Antiques

What an incredibly special experience. My husband and I took our daughter to NY for Christmas and saw these beautiful antique boxes in the window before our carriage ride in Central Park. We were so taken by their craftsmanship that we came back just to see them in person. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with such kindness and patience while our daughter found the box the meant the most to her. David provided an exceptional experience while there, and we could not have been happier while enjoying our last couple of hours in NYC. Thank you for making our visit extra special. We look

Do not go here. Workers have the worst and most disgusting attitude, and they were caught selling ivory.

I do not recommend this shop to any person.
Bullying tactics used to force sales, fake stories told to make sales, over priced goods.
My child was actually terrified being in the store taken up to another floor from where the goods actually were on ground floor originally on display.
A single woman and child I was very scared and in the end had to buy something before being let out the store.
I was shocked this type of selling is legal in a city like NY!
So do not go there and steer clear of David the owner. Gross bullies that have no respect for the customer - it’s like shopping in a 1950

Terrible attention, especially the old man who can hardly even move, really patent his deal! I was horrified by that predator. Be careful please !

I bought a lot of goods from this shop And they always do right by me. They have such Magnificnet items. My wife and I love to go and look around at the special pieces they have. The jewerly is magnificent as well. I always stop in whenever I am in the city.

Selling illegal ivory. Now they've been heavily fined and all the ivory has been confiscated to be CRUSHED!!!! I foster orphaned elephants because their mother is killed and their tusks were poached. The baby is left crying and sometimes die over their dead mother's body! Sometimes the innocent baby is poached for what little ivory they have! Their trunks are hacked off when they are alive, too!!! So shame on this place!!!

Fantastic shop. Like a museum, but you can bring the stuff home with you. I highly recommend it.

Caught with illegal ivory.. Disgusting. You should be trampled by the elephant's you helped kill.

Hope they go broke and die a painful death just like those innocent Elephants. Hope it was worth it. Had to put a star or i couldn't post comment.
