About Us
Our Story | A Celebration of Good, Olde Times
Our story goes back to 1995, to the 26th St Chelsea Antique Market, where we started out with a small flea market space. Today Olde Good Things has evolved to become one of the largest architectural antique dealers in the country. Our four stores and two warehouses contain an impressive inventory of olde good things, more than 250,000 square feet of merchandise.
Our inventory is sourced largely from pre-depression and late nineteenth century buildings. We salvage these original precious items to make them available to collectors and designers who can put them to good use.
We began by "dumpster diving" and finding unique architectural items in the trash.  As we grew we began working with demolition contractors and became known and our salvage crew was able to retrieve artifacts from notable buildings such as the Flat Iron Building, the New York Times Building, the Plaza Hotel and many more renowned locations.
Unique Architectural Antique Details
Our collection of olde good things includes hardware, doors and doorknobs, furniture, stained glass, terra cotta, mantels and decorative iron.
Our inventory also includes one of the most extensive selections of vintage reclaimed chicken wire and corrugated glass.
Our specialty lies in Altered Antiques. Our salvage team collects an assortment of reclaimed materials and repurposes them into useful or purely aesthetic items. Our most popular ranges include our famous tin mirrors and panels, furniture and shelving and lighting pieces.
Giving Back to the Future
Olde Good Things helps in funding a charitable work in Haiti. This mission has been in operation since 1977 bringing hope to some of the most vulnerable of families and children. This mission aids in supplying food and supplies where there are otherwise little to no resources. We appreciate our customers and want them to understand that you actually are a part of helping to support this worthy work through your patronage.
