Olde Good Things came from humble beginnings in NYC during the heyday of the Chelsea Antique Market in the early 90’s and then opened its first retail store on Atlantic Avenue on Antique Row in Brooklyn in 1994. Twenty five years later, it has become one of the leading US architectural salvage companies with three brick and mortar retail locations in New York, one in Los Angeles and a six-story antique department store and warehouse in Scranton, PA., as well as a major online presence.
 
Now in the middle of the pandemic, Olde Good Things reaffirms their commitment to New York by opening a new flagship 8,000 square foot retail store in the historic Midtown West neighborhood of Manhattan.
 
They set out to design a flagship store as premium, long-lasting and sustainably built as the products it deconstructs from famed New York landmarks. Reclaimed architectural treasures including mantels, gates, columns, windows, as well as mirrors, lighting and plumbing are all on display at the new showroom.
 
The store features a fresh look and signature architecturally salvaged items from some of New York’s legendary buildings such as the Waldorf Astoria, Plaza Hotel, Flatiron Building, Times Square theaters and JFK Airport.
 
Olde Good Things board member, Jim DiGiacoma states, 'Our 8,000 square foot, two-floor showroom is sure to become a true destination for both locals and out-of-town visitors, as well as architects, decorators and designers.'
 
On any given day, shoppers might include an architect looking for antique French doors, a restaurant designer looking for industrial chicken wire glass and unusual factory doors, a decorator trying to find a set of lights for over a kitchen island, or millennials shopping for a unique item from the past. Urban dwellers snatch up things like bar carts made of reclaimed pine or chicken wire glass, large mirrors framed with repurposed copper and ceiling tin, and rare pieces of wooden furniture, while others may covet the cast iron ball and claw bathtubs or porcelain faucets. Some recent purchases have been the limestone gargoyles from the perch of a Park Avenue building.
 
Olde Good Things’ new Midtown West location opened at 333 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019.
