Antique Ornaments in NYC?

December 18, 2007 2:12 PM

Help me repay a gift of 23 chromosomes: Is there a store in New York City that sells antique Christmas ornaments?

My mother vaguely recalls hearing/reading of store in New York City that sells antique Christmas tree ornaments.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I am perfectly aware that antique ornaments could be bought on e-bay (or possibly e-ornaments.com if it exists) but this is specifically about stores in NYC.

And Original Series Star Trek Hallmark ornaments don't count as antiques. Yet.

Check out the Chelsea Flea Market on West 25th Street, between 6th and 7th on weekends. I seem recall that there are some dealers in the market and on surrounding blocks that deal in antique glassware.

Its outside of New York, but the responses are underwhelming at this point. I bought a bunch of antique ornaments at Carol E Charny Vintage, of Larchmont, NY a few years ago. Not sure it is a specialty.

I can't recall if they have antique ornaments, but if I was gonna go anywhere to look for them I'd check this place on 7th avenue: The Christmas Cottage. You can always call them to see if they do carry such things...
