Antiques near Tonawanda, NY

“One of a few excellent vintage-y stores in the area with a non-stuffy vibe, The Mulberry Tree seems to be the most eclectic and largest of the bunch aside from the Old Chapel a few blocks away on Robinson. You can purchase anything from a used guitar (like I did!), to rare glasses and mugs, to antique clothing and wood furniture. No 'throwaway' stuff here. The gentleman who was behind the counter the day I purchased my guitar also gave me a pack of strings and offered a free tuning any time. One of those places you hope is always around, even if the hours are limited.”

“I called to inquire if they had a particular glass shade for a Fenton Hobnail Lamp and they assured me that they me that they have them. I packed up my lamp and drove right over. Very pleasant, caring and knowledgeable team. They unwrapped my lamp and provided a replacement and without asking he tightened the bulb receptacle and repaired the cord to eliminate the damage and replace a new plug. All this in less than 30 minutes. Great people, very helpful, great integrity and skills. Go visit you won't be disappointed in their inventory or assistance. This is what old Buffalo really is all about! Best to them Mark”

“Adorable shop. Smells wonderful, wide variety of gifts at reasonable prices, thoughtfully arranged displays and ideas for how you can make your home equally inviting. Owner takes her time to chat with customers. Cannot wait to go again.”

“I was lucky enough to be a vendor at the Old Chapel Antique market for the past 3 months and loved every minute. I am a frequent shopper as well . There is always something new to see or buy! I love how creative the WNY area is. The staff is always great! Dave and Jennifer are always there to help and support the vendors as well as the clientele.”

“I’ve always passed by this place and finally got a chance to stop. Cute shop, the owner is very helpful and they have a wide array of great vintage pieces! I will definitely be returning to support small businesses <3”

“what an awesome place to go if you're looking for antiques or things in that category. it has 3 or 4 buildings, all filled with so many items to many to list. this is a good stop on our way to sunflowers of sandborn”

“The atmosphere is so pleasant I would come just to sit and admire. I have never left without a purchase because there is such a variety of items I get inspired with new decorating ideas.”

“Best store for antiques and collectibles in Western New York. Been buying video games here for many years now and loving the newly expanded McKinley Mall location. Thanks for having an awesome store!”

“Trust them with your most treasured and valuable clocks and watches. Work is impeccable. I have used them for both a Gilbert mantle clock and a treasured 1948 Mido wristwatch. Simply the BEST!”

“Amazing selection suited to many different styles. Fantastic service and outstanding quality. Zeeba has a magic touch. I would totally recommend to anybody as there is something for everyone.”

“I found this cool place on a random search. It’s packed to the ceiling with treasures. The owner and daughter were so helpful,informative.My only issue was nothing is priced, we were told if we were interested in anything to take a picture of it and show them. Not everything is for sale. I the super cool place lends stuff out for tv studios. This shop is three full floors.That was cool to hear! I think this place should be a museum ? I would definitely come back and visit! I just wouldn’t come here expecting to find something and told no because it’s not for sale.”

“My favorite antique / fine furniture store in the Buffalo area. They always have a showroom full of high-quality furniture, no junk pieces. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. I always going there.”

“Ron Korman was extremely helpful. He actually came to my house to assess the value of a doll collection. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. A fantastic resource.”

“I absolutely love this store. It's packed with lots of local hand made items, as well as unique food items. Bought a very nice table and chair set for my kitchen here. Great for gift shopping or to find one of a kind decor or furniture for your home. They've got fresh flowers too and I couldn't believe how much lower their flower prices are compared to other florists. I bought flowers for my wife that were beautiful and lasted twice as long as I thought they were going to. Also bought some Amish popcorn here and was blown away by the taste!. I'll be buying more in the near future!. I would highly recommend this store!”

“Always a great stop in, wonderful owners and huge selection especially for jewelry, art, home decor and vintage fur!! Thanks so much for another great shopping experience and unique finds !!”

“Love stopping into this shop. They have a ton of 19th century antiques and decorator items to choose from. The owner was very helpful with our leather desk chairs for our Den. We had an excellent experience and look forward to purchasing items in the future.”

“Carl wa a joy to meet. Supper knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. His collection of vintage lamps is like nothing I have ever seen. He had everything. My wife and I could have spent all day there. What an incredible experience! We will be back!”

“Great quality. Great people to deal with.I looked into a number of manufacturers when I was shopping for a project car.I'm glad I chose Antique & Collectible.”

“I would have given them 5 stars, but they do not offer a in-house delivery service (even if you offer to pay for it) as they only do that for donation pickups. Still, they do have a good selection of large and major household essentials like appliances and furniture for very reasonable prices. Be advised that you have to make arrangements and take delivery of your items within 3 business days (or take them home yourself) or the sale is null and void.”

“Great shop with countless hidden treasures! The owner is super friendly and paints gorgeous abstract artwork during his time between customers. Whether you're looking for authentic hand picked antiques, or fun quirky parts for a creative project, he's got you covered!”

“I'm one of the 33% of Buffalonians who doesn't own a car, and it's by choice! People think you HAVE to own a car in Buffalo, but I'm proof that you don't. I walk or take the bus to work everyday, and I don't have to worry about car maintenance, car payments, car insurance, moving my car on the street every single day, or driving in icy conditions. People think, you have to own a car in Buffalo because how else are you supposed to get around in the winter? Really? You want to be driving around all the time in the ice and snow? Have fun! Sorry for the long intro, but it connects nicely with Zipcar. Even though I get along fine in Buffalo there are still times that are more convenient to have a car. Example, giant trips to Wegman's, Member Appreciation Days at the Lexington Co-op, visiting family in Ransomville (good ole Ransomville! Gotta love small town names), or picking up fresh veggies from Porter Farms. To cut it short, here are the costs: $25 to join (one-time) $52.20/year to be a member $10.33/hour to use a car, $11.48/hour if you want the truck or minivan. But they have a discounted rate on Monday through Thursday that you can rent a car from 6:30pm to 8:30am and it is $37.87 (same price if you are getting the truck or minivan). So, you can calculate the costs yourself to see if you'd save money using Zipcar compared to owning a car. Side note, you might also want to pay $9/month so that if you get into an accident you don't have to pay the $1000 deductible. But before you get that, check to see if you have Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver as a perk on your credit card. If you do, use that credit card for all your rentals and opt out of the Zipcar damage waiver. If you do that, VISA or whoever your CC company is will waive the deductible (assuming you were driving safely of course).”

“If you like to search for amazing antique treasures, this place is great. You should Market on your to-do list. I think this is a really lovely thrift store, I agree that it's extremely cluttered, but in a good way. I think this is what a thrift store should look like. Not corporate at all. Family owned and very unpredictable and real. It reminds me if Sylvester's in my hometown of England, right next to where I grew up. It's a wonderful little store. Lots of treasures to be found. And prices are actually pretty darn good.”

“It's no secret that the antiques trade has changed tremendously over the last couple of generations and that nearly all of the shops are gone. Gone as well are the many unique characters who ran these shops. Larry is indeed one of these characters in that he is unique.. but not what I would call eccentric in the least.. not at all. He's unique by todays standards because he is old school.. a no-nonsense straight- shooting mid-Westerner.. and a man of his word. I've known him for over twenty five years amd we've done a lot of 'horse trading' ... all over a handshake and a bottle of wine. He hasn't let me down yet. Most people nowadays hope that when they do enter an antiques shop the owner will either be absent or lurking somewhere in the background. Or if not that he should greet them wholeheartedly and only be too willing to educate, inform and generally bring them up to speed in the highly complex and ever-shifting world of antiques and collectables. Rarely is either the case as the antiques shop is a unique specimen in and of itself. It can't be defined or explained away that easily or conveniently.. nor should it. And Neither should it's owner. Nothing can be more true than in the case of Larry's Antiques. But for those willing to take the time...For others the antiques shop is just another faceless storefront they can casually enter and seek refuge in.. until the next bus comes. Upon entering Larry's Antiques he will greet you politely and ask if there is anything in particular you are looking for so that he may guide you accordingly and not waste anybody's time.. including his own. Most people, of course, just ask if its alright to browse but he respectfully reminds them that unfortunately he is not 'set up' for that. Keeping in mind all the while that, although he does depend on the odd sidewalk traffic purchase, his shop is, by and large, an established location where other dealers and longstanding clients can find him in order to conduct business. Finally it is worth mentioning that Larry, like many independent shopkeepers, has had items stolen on more that one occasion resulting in a loss he alone has had to absorb so its little wonder he can be characterized as wary and vigilant by some peoples standards.Myself, I have spent countless hours in that gloriously 'grimy' shop sipping ( ok quaffing! ) fine wine, eating delectable cheeses, and listening to heavenly music all the while having Larry ( an academy trained keyboardist it should be noted ) extol the virtues of Handel and Bach! I have brought countless friends there over the years and Larry has welcomed them all and never has anyone offered anything but high praise for this astute, articulate, knowledgeable, highly informed, well-mannered and charming.. not to mention razor- sharp witted.. gentlemanly bon vivant! He is a national treasure and one of the last of his kind. And to all of you one-star wonders out there.. I think you just need to grow up a little!”
