There are lots of rug galleries in this building. Our favorites: Les Looms, for old Caucasian rugs, Turkish Oushaks tapestries, and French Aubus-sons. This midtown counterpart to the Chelsea antiques zone is home to 100 galleries selling just about any kind of antique furnishings, jewelry, paintings, tapestries, and clocks you can imagine.

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.

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.

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

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.

A wonderful collection of true antiques. Fine art, statuary, furniture, cultural relics. I've added a few exquisite 19th century paintings to my walls from this place.
While the inventory is amazing, some -- but, only some-- of the vendors are not as charismatic, helpful, or friendly as they could be. It can be like pulling teeth to get a price or information on a piece you find interesting. I've actually had to walk away from a space here because it was too much trouble for a vendor to show me a work or get me a price.
Perhaps I just don't look like someone who can afford

This is the only antiques center of its kind in the USA. You could drive around the entire country and walk into every place that has an "antiques" sign out front and be hard pressed to find one antique inside. But here you will find thousands upon thousands of genuine antiques from all over the world. Three floors of galleries filled to the brim with art and antiques. Just about anything you could think of is in this place. A must see for anyone interested in antiques and now a whole section on contemporary art with rotating exhibits. Many galleries have their own hours and best to go

All the items look like they belong in a museum. Very nice, 3 floor antique galleries with various items from around the world. I had a great time exploring this place with my sister. We were the only people there so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. I would say the friendliest gallery owner was Hadassa Antiques Gallery.

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

What an absolutely amazing, fantastic building. A 3 level gem, hidden in the middle of Manhattan, with 80 dealers selling everything from silver, jewelry, art, books, furniture, chandeliers, statues, vases, bronzes, marble, paintings, Oriental etc. etc. Even a vintage perfume bottle dealer. This has to be seen to be believed. Something for everyone. Monday to Friday all year round.
