The Great Treasure Hunt
Continues. Somewhere within our catalogue is a unique gem waiting to be discovered. It
could be a small but delicate piece of silver plate or a massive dining set. It matters
not. The pursuit of beauty and the excitement of its eventual capture will be fondly
remembered for years to come. What is important is the pleasure the prize brings you. The
renewal of our faith in craftsmanship, design, and the beauty of human work is our reward,
and that is what encourages us to continually search for the rare and unusual.
Collecting offers a thread from the tapestry of our past and a bridge to the future. If
we allow our culture to be discarded and lost forever, what will become of our glorious
Heritage? It is our aim to reclaim pieces from our wondrous past and make them usable.
Our in-house shop specializes in restoration as well as custom modifications to suit
your individual needs. Beautiful bed suites become practical because we can expand them to
king size, ornate cabinets can be converted to entertainment centers, and sideboards can
be transformed into bars. There really is nothing we are not prepared to tackle in order
to fulfill our customer's desires.
Our inventory contains over 10,000-museum quality pieces-the finest examples of 19th
and early 20th century. If you cannot find your piece in this catalog, it is still likely
we have it. We have a sophisticated computer system that can provide pictures and a
measurement to assist with your telephone inquires. We are able to e-mail your requests
the same day we get them. Be sure to check out our website at www.AntiquarianTraders.com
for updates.
In our catalogue only, each piece lists both the retail and net
price. The higher number is suggested for retail, reflecting current replacement value; we
sell to you at the lower price. Prices normally include top quality
restoration of the antique to its original condition, however we do offer pieces in an
as-is condition, if requested.
Antiquarian Traders is well known in the film industry. Set decorators can rent the
finest selection of mint condition antiques at reasonable rates at our showroom, or shop
at our warehouse for unrestored pieces. Many pieces have been used in films and TV and you
might find a piece seen in the "Titanic" or the "Beverly Hillbillies".
We accept all major credit cards and can arrange for financing some of your purchases.
All items are subject to price change and prior sale.
Sincerely, Mark Slotkin |
