What clients say about Millerton Antique Center in Millerton (NY)
Expansive collection of antiques, ephemera and contemporary items.
Lots of different price points- so you are sure to find something to treasure.
Art, clothes, dish ware, knick-knacks, toys, magazines, postcards, and so on. Really worth a few hours of browsing.
Nicely laid out and priced adequately. However, when I walked into the establishment, there were workers around and I was not greeted. As a business owner, I make it a point to greet everyone who walks through the door and strike up a conversation.
This place is lovely to look around but to be honest the prices are on the high side I say that as somebody who had a lot of the stuff that was in there, I adore mid-century stuff which I know right now is having its resurgence and is reflected in its price, but I had probably close to 10 or 12 things In there that I both have bought or I sell for a lot less so I find that when antique shops are a bit overpriced it's not fun it's not an enjoyable experience to have no real opportunity to get a deal. There were a few things I even looked up while I was there that were shockingly overpriced So while I understand, as a dealer myself, that a lot of work goes into curating these collections I feel like just 20% less would make this place a place I'd want to go back to but I wouldn't go back unless I just happened to be in the area
Variety of different vintage items from books to furniture and everything in between is there. If you like variety, you'll be like a kid in a candy store. However, I think the prices are a bit on the high side (but not as high as their next door neighbors). For a place that looks like it has not been renovated since the 1950s or 60s, the prices don't seem to be fitting for some things. I'm not saying it's all the vendors but maybe a little reno and sprucing could reflect the prices. Just a thought.
I purchased a vintage style cast iron boot jack for $65 only to find it at Walmart and Amazon the next morning for $28. I called the “Antique Center” and they couldn’t have cared less. I would have thought they’d have integrity and try to square it with their dealer (return or partial refund). Fortunately for me, it was a small purchase but they’ve shown their true colors.
It's so nice having Millerton Antique so close to my job at Northeast Ford. I remember when I first moved here Millerton Antique was one of the first places I checked out. The atmosphere is wonderful
Unfortunately I was really not that impressed. Don't get me wrong. They have a nice selection of Antique items available. Pricing was a tad high or equivalent to eBay prices which I've come to expect. You don't necessarily find a bargain anymore. Nice establishment. I just don't see myself going back. Check it out though, you may find something good.
A lot of fun to walk around in with a friend! The items sold are on the pricier side. I just bought some antique pins and old pictures. Very satisfied with the price of the smaller pieces that are sold here.
There's a lot of different stuff in here, and I can spend a couple hours at a time going through everything. For me I find interesting things like old textiles, clothing, Japanese prints, old photos and books. Some stuff does seem a little overpriced, but other stuff is reasonable. Perhaps it depends on the individual seller in the store. The town of Millerton itself is worth a visit, so if you like exploring small towns in the country, it's worthwhile to come. Peruse some antiques, go to a bookstore, eat at a renovated diner, buy some Harney and Sons tea direct from them, see a movie, get a latte and a snack...
I cane to this place really late which is a shame, it's an amazing collection of oddities. I particularly liked the old post cards.
There's every kind of vintage in here, from clothes to interior design, records and old magazines.
There's a super impressive collection of old Playboy's that I could spend ages fawning over
I've been to this group antiques dealer spot and have purchased items for resale. Overtime the store has been upgrading its antiques. Very courteous and attentive staff.
