HAPPY NEW YEAR

A New Year, A New Use For Something Old

Customers often stop by the Old Saybrook Antiques Center searching for a coffee table. A coffee table is a contemporary piece of furniture. They are available at any big box furniture store. Why not think outside the box and repurpose an antique to use as a coffee table?
A rustic farm table with the legs cut down can be useful and a focal point in a room. A blanket chest in a mellow finish or old paint can offer extra storage as well as a place to rest drinks. A beautiful antique tray on a stand can be used for both serving and holding beverages.
Wall décor does not have to be artwork. An antique advertising piece, a flat basket or a narrow wall shelf to hold treasured collectibles give rooms unique personality. Antiques can make a statement in even the most modern setting.
Please stop by the Old Saybrook Antiques Center any day between 10:00 and 4:00 and let us help you repurpose an antique for your home.
Happy New Year from the dealers at the Old Saybrook Antiques Center.

It’s beginning to look a lot like… Christmas and Hanukkah, the most wonderful time of the year!

This Holiday Season, step back in time and give a gift with lasting value. A gift that is unique, a great antique! The Old Saybrook Antiques Center is ready to help you choose a very special gift for your very special someone.
Our fine estate jewelry collection includes glittering diamonds and colored gemstones set in 14K and 18K gold and platinum. We have a wonderful selection of rings, necklaces, bracelets and matching sets. If someone on your list loves the rich earthy look of Native American silver and semiprecious stones, we have unique jewelry signed by noted Native American craftspeople.
For the art lover, we offer antique and contemporary works by listed artists that are sure to become a focal point in any home. Our home furnishings collection is the largest and most diverse we have ever offered. We showcase formal antique American and Continental furniture along with signed Arts and Crafts pieces.

Looking for out of the ordinary Holiday décor? We have vintage Christmas decorations, colorful quilts and antique cast iron banks and toys.
