Glass & Brass Antique Store

Owner: Kolthida Houy

An age stained brass sign that hasn’t been polished in decades hangs above the entrance to this tiny abode, labeling it ‘Glass & Brass, Antiques & Vintages’. Watch your head on the way inside, or you’re liable to get hair tangled up in hanging glass globes and crystalline beads that criss-cross the ceiling like glittering spiders webs. Everything an old heart yearns for can be found inside, turn of the century glass lamps, walls filled with sepia photos peering out from dark corners, oil paintings of macabre still life, old oak wood table crammed with monochrome glassware, and so on.

A glowing exit sign peeking out through a tower of baskets hangs crooked near a half open door propped open by a whirring box fan, flooding the interior with humid swamp air.
