(Speaking of, have you seen the website It's seriously amazing - takes the best and most beautiful tv and movie homes and breaks them down for you. And I was suddenly sure that if I didn't snap up this perfectly worn, lovely, ideally-sized area rug right at this moment (literally, was told by the owner's mother who was left in charge that I had to roll it up and cart it off myself) that it would make its next appearance on the set of Judd Apatow's next blockbuster. I somehow felt like I was unearthing an even better find. Basically insinuating (in a not-so-subtle way) that they apparently didn't care enough about my $200 sale to haggle over $10, and if I liked it I better just agree to the price or get a move on (attempting impossibly to wriggle out of their one-way, miniature, might as well be a magician, thank goodness for my backup camera otherwise I would not be able to get) out of there.
As I was told when I attempted to haggle over a mirror, some 19th century horse drawings, and a rug, their wares are all hand-chosen by their proprietor, and most of them are shipped off nationwide and beyond by the truckload to auction houses, movie sets, collectors, and designers every week. It is way larger than it looks from its warehouse-style exterior, and it is packed to the brim with ever-changing inventory. sometimes in my time designated for grocery shopping (alone) when I can't make it to Ikea, I make a quick little stop in Garwood to find the interior design equivalent of a pair of purple leather pants.Ĭlassic Antiques is not your typical antique store. Which brings me to this little secret of mine.
