Now that you know where to shop for antiques and collectibles<\/a> in the New York City-New Jersey area, it\u2019s also important to learn how to properly care for and store the items you buy.<\/p>\n<\/span>Here\u2019s how to take care of your antiques<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAntiques are fragile \u2013 and, whether you are displaying them in your home or you\u2019re a collector and are storing them long-term, there are some rules to follow:<\/p>\n
<\/span>1. Prevent damages during transportation.<\/span><\/h4>\nInspect antique furniture carefully before transportation, ensuring that it is stable enough to move. Remove drawers, loose shelves and other detachable parts. Use protective padding, such as bubble wrap or blankets, during transportation. Make sure you lift the furniture all the way off the ground when transporting it \u2013 dragging it will cause serious damages. Use dollies and straps when moving larger items. Antique wooden furniture is a lot heavier than modern furniture made from composite materials.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. Clean and repair the antiques as needed.<\/span><\/h4>\nBefore displaying the antiques in your home or placing them in storage, it\u2019s important to make sure they are in the best shape possible. Dust and polish your wooden furniture and clean upholstered and leather items with dedicated products. Wash glass or china pieces gently, using warm, soapy water. Other items such as paintings or old books are more difficult to clean, and you might consider using a professional restorer. Generally speaking, professionals should repair antiques and collectibles unless it\u2019s something very basic or you have experience and know what you\u2019re doing. A badly done repair job can drastically decrease the value of these items.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/03\/antiques-window.jpg?w=770\")
<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. Pick the right spot to display your antiques and collectibles.<\/span><\/h4>\nWhether furniture, rugs, artwork or books, antiques are better off kept away from direct sunlight and protected from excessive heat, cold and humidity. Make sure you find places in your home for the antiques that fulfill these conditions as much as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. Avoid touching your antiques.<\/span><\/h4>\nAvoid touching antiques and collectibles as much as possible \u2013 oils on the skin and dirt can damage artwork, old books, painted china and more. If you own old and valuable pieces, wear cotton gloves when touching them. This also prevents slippage. You should also take some precautions with sturdier items, such as wooden furniture. It\u2019s a good rule to not leave objects long-term on the varnished surfaces of old furniture. For example, if you have an antique dining table, it\u2019s fine to set the table with plates and everything while dining \u2013 but don\u2019t keep a vase permanently on it, as it will probably stain the surface.<\/p>\n
<\/span>5. Rent self storage<\/a> for long-term storage of antiques and collectibles.<\/span><\/h4>\nA climate-controlled self storage unit ensures the ideal environment for the long-term storage of delicate antiques: the temperature and humidity are constant throughout the year, and it will protect your items from sunlight. A 10\u2019x10\u2019 climate-controlled storage unit in New York City<\/a> rents for around $230 per month. Or, if you\u2019re a New Jersey resident, you pay a little less: the same type of storage unit in New Jersey<\/a> rents for around $180 per month.<\/p>\nHave fun with your antique hunting!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antique shopping is fun, environmentally friendly and easy on your wallet \u2013 a veritable treasure hunt where you can find cool, quirky, one-of-a-kind items for your home.

Now that you know where to shop for antiques and collectibles<\/a> in the New York City-New Jersey area, it\u2019s also important to learn how to properly care for and store the items you buy.<\/p>\n<\/span>Here\u2019s how to take care of your antiques<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAntiques are fragile \u2013 and, whether you are displaying them in your home or you\u2019re a collector and are storing them long-term, there are some rules to follow:<\/p>\n
<\/span>1. Prevent damages during transportation.<\/span><\/h4>\nInspect antique furniture carefully before transportation, ensuring that it is stable enough to move. Remove drawers, loose shelves and other detachable parts. Use protective padding, such as bubble wrap or blankets, during transportation. Make sure you lift the furniture all the way off the ground when transporting it \u2013 dragging it will cause serious damages. Use dollies and straps when moving larger items. Antique wooden furniture is a lot heavier than modern furniture made from composite materials.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. Clean and repair the antiques as needed.<\/span><\/h4>\nBefore displaying the antiques in your home or placing them in storage, it\u2019s important to make sure they are in the best shape possible. Dust and polish your wooden furniture and clean upholstered and leather items with dedicated products. Wash glass or china pieces gently, using warm, soapy water. Other items such as paintings or old books are more difficult to clean, and you might consider using a professional restorer. Generally speaking, professionals should repair antiques and collectibles unless it\u2019s something very basic or you have experience and know what you\u2019re doing. A badly done repair job can drastically decrease the value of these items.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. Pick the right spot to display your antiques and collectibles.<\/span><\/h4>\nWhether furniture, rugs, artwork or books, antiques are better off kept away from direct sunlight and protected from excessive heat, cold and humidity. Make sure you find places in your home for the antiques that fulfill these conditions as much as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. Avoid touching your antiques.<\/span><\/h4>\nAvoid touching antiques and collectibles as much as possible \u2013 oils on the skin and dirt can damage artwork, old books, painted china and more. If you own old and valuable pieces, wear cotton gloves when touching them. This also prevents slippage. You should also take some precautions with sturdier items, such as wooden furniture. It\u2019s a good rule to not leave objects long-term on the varnished surfaces of old furniture. For example, if you have an antique dining table, it\u2019s fine to set the table with plates and everything while dining \u2013 but don\u2019t keep a vase permanently on it, as it will probably stain the surface.<\/p>\n

Fittingly located in the historic Mullica Hill village, this antique shop is in a bus terminal from the 1900s \u2013 hence the name. The 6,500-square-foot space is now home to 35 antique dealers, and most items sold here are from the 18th<\/sup>, 19th<\/sup> and early 20th<\/sup> centuries.<\/p>\n This Salem, New Jersey, antiquities center is in a 1910s warehouse that provided storage space for crops. Some of the old equipment used to dry off and process crops is still there. Suzanne and Michael Cooke restored the space and opened the Royal Port Antiques in 2004. Since then, it attracts collectors and antique aficionados with many treasures, various shows and events.<\/p>\n Located in the very heart of Manhattan, John Koch Antiques has been in business for over 30 years and is providing a wide selection of best quality furnishings and decorations. This is where famous TV shows and movies, including Mad Men and The Wolf of Wall Street, got the items they needed to furnish their sets. So, if you\u2019re looking for glamorous and stylish items, this is the place to check out.<\/p>\n You can literally spend days digging through the treasures hosted by the Days of Olde Antiques & Collectibles. The 21,000-square-foot space near the historic Smithville Village houses over 60 dealers. You can buy items ranging from artwork, books, coins, furniture, stained glass and fine china.<\/p>\n First opened in 1993, Haddon Heights Antiques Center is an 80-dealer co-op filled with amazing finds, including glassware, china, artwork, furniture and more. The antique center also organizes special, fun events \u2013 such as a scavenger hunt on the second Friday of each month.<\/p>\n Now that you know where to shop for antiques and collectibles<\/a> in the New York City-New Jersey area, it\u2019s also important to learn how to properly care for and store the items you buy.<\/p>\n Antiques are fragile \u2013 and, whether you are displaying them in your home or you\u2019re a collector and are storing them long-term, there are some rules to follow:<\/p>\n Inspect antique furniture carefully before transportation, ensuring that it is stable enough to move. Remove drawers, loose shelves and other detachable parts. Use protective padding, such as bubble wrap or blankets, during transportation. Make sure you lift the furniture all the way off the ground when transporting it \u2013 dragging it will cause serious damages. Use dollies and straps when moving larger items. Antique wooden furniture is a lot heavier than modern furniture made from composite materials.<\/p>\n Before displaying the antiques in your home or placing them in storage, it\u2019s important to make sure they are in the best shape possible. Dust and polish your wooden furniture and clean upholstered and leather items with dedicated products. Wash glass or china pieces gently, using warm, soapy water. Other items such as paintings or old books are more difficult to clean, and you might consider using a professional restorer. Generally speaking, professionals should repair antiques and collectibles unless it\u2019s something very basic or you have experience and know what you\u2019re doing. A badly done repair job can drastically decrease the value of these items.<\/p>\n Whether furniture, rugs, artwork or books, antiques are better off kept away from direct sunlight and protected from excessive heat, cold and humidity. Make sure you find places in your home for the antiques that fulfill these conditions as much as possible.<\/p>\n Avoid touching antiques and collectibles as much as possible \u2013 oils on the skin and dirt can damage artwork, old books, painted china and more. If you own old and valuable pieces, wear cotton gloves when touching them. This also prevents slippage. You should also take some precautions with sturdier items, such as wooden furniture. It\u2019s a good rule to not leave objects long-term on the varnished surfaces of old furniture. For example, if you have an antique dining table, it\u2019s fine to set the table with plates and everything while dining \u2013 but don\u2019t keep a vase permanently on it, as it will probably stain the surface.<\/p>\n A climate-controlled self storage unit ensures the ideal environment for the long-term storage of delicate antiques: the temperature and humidity are constant throughout the year, and it will protect your items from sunlight. A 10\u2019x10\u2019 climate-controlled storage unit in New York City<\/a> rents for around $230 per month. Or, if you\u2019re a New Jersey resident, you pay a little less: the same type of storage unit in New Jersey<\/a> rents for around $180 per month.<\/p>\n Have fun with your antique hunting!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Antique shopping is fun, environmentally friendly and easy on your wallet \u2013 a veritable treasure hunt where you can find cool, quirky, one-of-a-kind items for your home.
