Flâneur- a term used by the French 19th century poet and critic Charles Baudelaire to mean a person who walks the city in order to experience it.

Welcome to The Antique Flâneur a unique online and in person antique personal shopping service for clients in New York City, New Jersey and beyond. The Antique Flâneur can help you find antiques, collectibles, vintage objects, period furniture and decorative accessories such as porcelain, pottery, silver, figurines, paintings, engravings, prints etc. to adorn your home.  The Antique Flâneur also assists interior designers in accessorizing a client's house from a simple piece of vintage pottery for a rustic kitchen to the grandest silver tea set for an elegant formal dining room to a set of stylish dining room chairs.

Do you have an old china pattern from your grandmother that you would like to add to, but don't know the pattern or manufacturer?  Or perhaps you have a beautiful old flatware pattern, but don't know the pattern name or maker and you would like to add some serving pieces to use at the holidays? Would you like to fill your walls with old prints and engravings to give your home a collected connoisseur look?  Are you looking for a gift for someone who collects something, but you are not sure how to find it?  Are you an interior designer that would like help in finding furniture and accessories for a particular client who loves antique pieces?   

I have numerous sources for antiques and vintage collectibles from a single piece of silver to a dining room table in the Tri-State area and beyond including individual antique dealers, antique collectives and auction houses.

I also have dealt with reputable dealers online for many years in finding objects for my own collection. 

I know how to navigate eBay and other auction house sites, how to ask the right questions and know what is a fair price for an item.

I even have a contact in the United Kingdom who can look for an item not readily found in the United States.

I look forward to finding you a new treasure!
