This is one of our latest — and grandest finds: An antique venetian glass chandelier.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Because we have the window to decorate and display at Antiques On Broadway, I feel like we share a lot of those photos — but don’t share enough photos of our space at Exit 55 Antiques. So here’s a few photos to rectify that. This photo of our booth shows our nice (if we do…
