Furniture, knicknacks found at antique stores
By JENNIFER YALE Staff Reporter
Looking for a chest of drawers, depression glass, vintage clothing or anything old? The best places in town to find vintage unique shops scattered across Lawrence.
Howard Boyd, owner of Boyd's Cols and Antiques, 731 New Hampshire St., said. "Antiques tend to hold their value because that the value of the economy is like."
Boyd's handles gold, coins, clocks.
and all types of antiques. "Just about everything." Boyd said.
An antique is anything that is more than 100 years old or is handmade, he or she can do it.
He refinishes and repairs the furniture that he sells. "It is next to impossible to find a piece ready to sit in a house," he said.
"THE FLOW OF furniture comes from the East." As people moved west in wagon trains, they left furniture along the way, Boyd said.
Boyd sells most of his antiquities to people from out of town, from the Southwest.
Harold Meyer, owner of Harold and Je's Antiques, 629 N. 2nd St., also does his own refinishing.
"It's kind of a hobby." he said.
It's kind of a hobby. he said.
He sells to just about every type of person. A lot of people furnish houses out of his shop. Meyer said.
He considers anything made before the 1920s an antique and does not sell any modern things. "It's mostly poorly made." he said.
His shop sells "primitive things—
things they don't make anymore."
"There is always a demand for good
Lawrence has a very good market for antiques. Meyer said. Many students
old furniture. There is always someone looking for something."
Dick Dunhaup, manager of Emerald City Antiques, 415 N. 2nd St., said that his business also thrive on students.
YOUNGER STUDENTS buy desks and chests of drawers. The older, non-traditional students buy antiques, he said.
Emerald City Antiques sells mostly furniture and a few accessories.
Shop, 608 Massachusetts St., said that she sold "a little bit of everything so that the young people can furnish their apartments."
Floy Standard, owner of the Swap
She also has good customers from town, she said.
Standard began refinishing furniture in her home and ended up with so many pieces that she had to find another place to put it.
She sells everything from used furniture to antique collectibles.
Another good place to find refinished furniture is Quantrill's Flea Market, 80 New Hampshire St., according to Leota Thompson, manager.
Quarantill's is a large rustic building full of small stalls that sell knick-knacks, used clothing, dishes, books, and many other things both used and antique.
IT IS OPEN every Saturday and Sunday,
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Many different types of people buy items at the flea market, she said.
Thompson said that several of the merchants made their living at the flea market and that many of them were retired.
There is a lot of student business, and many married couples shop there.
