By "younger" I am not referring to age but to someone who just fell in love with antique furniture like Biedermeier and wants to purchase and eventually collect.
This happened to me over 40 years ago when I started out as a YOUNGER COLLECTOR with limited funds and by now, it is a subject deep in my heart to assist YOUNGER COLLECTORS and to make sure they get off on the right foot and stay on the right track, so to speak.
Firstly, you don't need to be a millionaire to purchase authentic Biedermeier and other antique furniture. We offer a large range of "starter pieces" with lower prices, lower than you may expect.
Secondly, you should strictly purchase authentic pieces which represent their period. Do not compromise.
You already took the right first step by visiting our website or our 7000 square foot 2-level gallery at 35 East 10th Street in New York City in order to be on the safe side. Each and every item in our gallery has a detailed info tag with age, origin, price... and is sold with a research-based CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
