There are plenty of places to purchase antiques. Flea markets, online shops, and storefronts are a few options. But if you're in the market for quality antiques (versus vintage bargains), how do you know you’re getting what you pay for? What if the store sells inauthentic items? Take the guesswork out of buying quality antiques by purchasing from these places.

Nelson & Nelson Antiques
I love to display beautiful sterling silver antiques in my home. Nelson & Nelson Antiques is a family-run antique store that focuses on sterling silver and jewelry. The husband-and-wife team is passionate about silver and knowledgeable about the pieces they sell. They have 45 years of experience in the antique industry and carefully handpick each item they sell.
Nelson & Nelson guarantees each item’s condition and origin. Plus, you can stop by their New York City store or buy online. And if you’re unsatisfied when you purchase online, you can return the piece for a full refund. Are you considering selling your antiques? Nelson & Nelson would also love to buy them.
Rejuvenation
Finding antique items that fit well into modern homes isn’t challenging. Rejuvenation carefully curates a selection of vintage pieces restored to their former glory by skilled individuals. Plus, they offer a 30-day refund, allowing you to shop online without worry.
Shop any of the above places to purchase quality antiques safely. When you mix them in with old, upcycled flea-market finds (and lots of plants), you'll find yourself living in an eclectic, one-of-a-kind space before you know it!
