You can't miss this place, as it is literally huge and they had signs everywhere in the window calling attention to the fact that everything was discounted 50% or more as they were closing the location. I don't know if there are other locations, but we liked what we saw displayed in the window, so we walked in.

Maria, the saleswoman, cashier, and bottle washer it seems, was lonely because there was no one in the store. She was eager to talk, so naturally, when they find out we are from New York, the conversation inevitably turns to 9/11. In the interim, I was hunting for a real bargain and was sorely disappointed. The smaller objects, like statues, end tables, vases and such were uninteresting; the furniture was absolutely gorgeous, especially the tall armoires with a brass circle at the top of the doors. They claim that all comes from the mainland in China, and are true antiques from the Ming dynasties of 1500-1800. I'm not that well trained to be able to recognize a fake when I see one. They do have an enormous assortment of odd pieces, incomplete bedroom sets, chairs made of cherry wood with the high arched back rests. By now, I can easily recognize the exquisite lattice woodwork, especially emphasized on screens, which are made mainly from camphor wood. It can also appear on the edge of a headboard, or the upper portion of a chest of drawers.

While we were there, Maria finally had a client come back to pick up a piece he had apparently ordered from her previously. We were thankful for this interruption. It's a interesting venue to browse, but I'm not sure that I'd make a purchase here. When we passed by the second time we were in the area, the store was still open and had the same signs in the window.
