I’m in NYC and there’s a place like that down the street from me, though they’ll sell to private buyers too. Got the exact same kitchen table they used in the movie Mermaids from them.

That is amazing! If you don’t mind sharing, which store in NYC are you referring to? I’m in the market for some specific things 👀

A lot of chandeliers and doorknob hardware came from my shop in the movie Amityville Horror movie. Then some Hollywood pickers bought lots of vintage rhinestone jewelry from me but they wouldn't tell me what movies they were for. I guess they weren't allowed to say because early production at the time. It's a cool feeling, though.

I noticed that you mentioned vintage. Over at r/Collectables and r/Mid_Century they are always keen to see newer and vintage items. Share it with them! Sorry if this is not relevant.

Now I have to watch the movie Mermaids so I can see your kitchen table?

What is the name of the store? We’re planning a trip back to NYC and I’d absolutely love to go look around.
