Always interesting to see the selections as they change over the year. Dont be afraid to haggle over price. Staff are very helpful and willing to reach out to booth owners to get questions answered.

If you like anything vulture culture related, Id 100% reccomend going here! Ive found tons of bones and taxidermy mounts and a few pelts. Ive bought a deer skull, human skeleton replica, deer shoulder mount, and a deer antler here and all of it was very cheap :]

This place was larger than we expected with a 4 floors of antiques and collectibles from many different vendors. Some prices were a little steep but most were fair and they’ll contact the vendor if you’d like to make an offer on an item. Plenty off off street parking located in a colorful neighborhood just minutes from the mall with something for everyone.

Such a great selection, worth stopping in for whatever youre looking for. Prices vary by vendor, but theyre all so accommodating. 2 vendors gave my son a toy to have while we visited booths. Great experience.

This place has 4 floors filled with amazing antiques. You name it they probably have it. Some thing are a little pricey depending on the vendor/item. Not for resellers but a good place to find home decor / jewelry / art.

Review №15

This was my first adventure here, and I cannot wait to come back! So many different dealers, 3 floors to explore, everything is neat, very nicely arranged, staff are friendly, and not at all the stalk you through the store to try to make a sale type Ive encountered in other stores. This is a new favorite, and I highly recommend for antique lovers, as well as anyone who love unique items!

The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. I have been able to easily gather more information about an item they posted on their social media or find that item in store with the help of the staff. The staff is very kind and accommodating. S.A.E. also has a wide variety of items -- so much to see! Would highly recommend stopping in.

Review №23

There are 4 floors of unusual and unique items here, and is filled to the brim with vintage and antique merchandise. I saw items that I hadnt seen before at other antique venues, and browsing the booths is a nice way to spend an afternoon. Prices are fair, and vendors are willing to work with you. Happy hunting!

Review №24

This is the last freestanding co-op in CNY with old school seriously connected dealers with access to very old original publically unseen pieces from Syracuse. Larry for slag lamps, Frank and Steve for Victorian, and formerly Angela, Allen and Dennis in the fondly remembered past, have offered some amazing turn of the century antiquity to the area that drew people from all over NYS. They know where to buy, who has what out in the houses in the community, and if they don’t have it, they can find it or know where it is. Expensive? Yes. But that’s what you should expect with the caliber and rarity of the things on the first floor especially. If this surprises you, you’re new to the shop. There is simply none better if you want to shop for arts and crafts, Victorian, or Jacobean lighting, timepieces or furniture.

The best place in Syracuse for high end antiques. Lots of vendors with good stuff. I have found countless treasures here. You could spend half of a day looking around. Three or four floors of stuff. Its also in a very neat old building. Some dealers are a little lofty in their asking prices but thats consistent everywhere.

I just adore this place. I have bought some very nice pieces from them and have not been disappointed. And let me tell you, you will be hard pressed in the attempt to view the entire building in one afternoon or even in one day. The SAE contains a collection of independent antique dealers brought together under one roof and located within three floors of a beautiful pre-war commercial building.Currently, I so miss coming to the SAE as the pandemic has kept me from doing so. But when it is safe once again, I will arrange for another visit. The only thing I wish the SAE could do is to somehow create a web-store. Sadly, one of the things Ive noticed with regard to the antique market in the area is that very few dealers have created any substantial internet presence for themselves. So, if you are like me and are seldom capable of leaving your home and therefore rely heavily on internet purchasing, this can be a bit of a drag. Hopefully, the SAE can figure out a way to do this in the future, because they are just chock full of wonderfulness!

Great collection of a variety of antique categories. At least six floors of furniture, books, pictures, glassware etc. Spend an hour or two browsing, youll most likely find something to tempt you. I lived six years in Syracuse and several times a year visited this emporium of delights. Very satisfying whether buying or not.

I was there at the Antique store just recently and i found the place amazing with so many things to look at and buy. I found the price reasonable. Because of short of time I only stay there for one hour but I could easily stay for haft a day.It is so big and full of antiques. I collect alarm clock and I found one at 10$.

My husband and I were recently traveling and passing through the Syracuse area. We had goggled antique shops before going so decided to give this one a try. We were very pleasantly surprised to see such a variety with such great prices. I called the shop right before arriving and ask the dealer that answered the phone if they had much in period victorian and he said yes. When we arrived we were pleased to see that there indeed was a nice variety. I would highly recommend stopping at this shop if you are in the area.

Review №72

I like this place only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the people who are selling the stuff are not on the premises much so price negotiating isnt available. Most people know that there is always haggling room, they want to make money but you also want to save money so normally stuff is priced high to allow for it.

There seemed to be a lot of empty space, and very few people in the store. Unfortunately, the staff seemed to have too much time on their hands and came across overly judgemental about the quality of face masks the customers were wearing. It made me cut my shopping short and leave.

By the time I board the bus outside work, I have an idea what is going on in the city.When I reach downtown, I get off the bus and I chose a plan out of a list of options.Facebook listed an open mike at the new listening room on Burnet, a street that parallels the freeway that promised to begin at 6:30 PM.Facebook also listed a mystery search at a five story antique warehouse on Salina Street, not to far away from Destiny Mall.The mystery search at the Antique Exchange sounded like fun, a search through the stalls and shops in the exchange, searching for keys to a collection of trunks.Ive wanted to visit the Antique Exchange for a long time, a long time ever since an art student said to me at an gallery opening, I love the Exchange.I pick up the most quirky weird items for my sculptures at the Exchange.The Exchange stands nearby the ball field where the Syracuse Chiefs play, and practically screams, Visit me, from across the highway.Since the first day of the year, the Exchange has raised its profile with a Thursday night class, one night on collecting antique lamps or another night on refinishing furniture.This series of classes and events didnt fail to attract my attention or play upon my imagination.I had waited for the opening of the listening room on Burnet for three months, but I knew I could catch an event soon because the house always has a show now.So I waited at the bus stop, the worst bus stop in the city, the bus stop on Salina Street north of Water Street.That stop has a shelter but the shelter doesnt have a heater and only one shelter has a heater.Nothing around that shelter offers an open door, a lighted destination, a place to buy a stick of gum.I overheard two women talking.She waited at that stop because if she went down to the hub, covered from the snow and sheltered from the wind, she would miss her bus, the Mattydale - Allen.So she had to wait five to ten minutes in this dark canyon between two tall buildings with no lighted windows and no open doors.She waited a total of a half hour on her commute home from her job as a seamstress on Genesee Street near Jamesville Road.Time she couldnt rest, time she spent alone but for someone who might talk to her, time she couldnt eat nor drink but stand and stand and watch and wait.I heard her out and we boarded the bus to Mattydale together.We went up a few stops and I started to see businesses I had looked at on the map when I planned my trip, all of them closed.I stopped the bus at the corner of Wolf and Salina, right across the street from the tall building with boarded up windows, identified as the Syracuse Antiques Exchange by a pleasant sign.Four women stared at me, and I wondered what I was doing to attract so much attention.The answer possibly hit me as I stumbled around, getting my bearings.Three exotic dance clubs dominated that district at the corner of Salina and Wolf Street.Interesting, because not too far to the east awaited Census District 14, the poorest census district in the United States.A sign on the door of the Antiques Exchange stated, Mystery Event Cancelled Due to Weather.

Review №82

The gentleman that greeted me at front desk showed extreme lack of knowledge with antiques. I haves studied antiques for 35 tedious years and if I was in charge of this place filled with beautiful antiques, as it is, I certainly would not mis-inform folks with the value of any antique item just to buy it cheap. Very tacky and typical way to do business. The store should act more professional and be more courteous to folks selling heirlooms. The store is filled with wonderful rare antique items of all kinds but should be extremely careful with who they let give offers to sellers that come a long way. The website makes one think they know how to give a verbal appraisel and when you ask them questions on the phone in regards to antiques you would like to sell, they quickly say bring it in, well take care of you (ha). In my opinion, Syracuse is an up and coming city and you dont want prominent or any folks for that matter from here or from other cities and states going in to an antique shop here in Syracuse that describes itself as being knowledgeable with antiques, simply with little regard, giving a bad representation to a rare item or items. I have personal experience with them and luckily I was smart and turned down their hilarious offer. I have since then made literally over 10 times the amount for one item, a bronze, that I was offered $100.00 at their store due to either their lack of knowledge or someone really trying to pull the wool over my eyes, which again, I did not allow. I sold the bronze for 1200.00 to an experience antique dealer in Buffalo, NY. Simply put, I believe if the store does not know the true history of some items, they should be more careful not to simply state the economy is not good. If that be the case, then the store should sell their items as well using the same theory or tactics that they use when they tell folks these sad stories about why they dont pay much for anything these days due to the failing economy. I remember one gentleman that worked there years ago, maybe the owner back then? He did appear to know his business and I sold him a very old signed oil painting on canvas. He was familiar with the artist and he did pay me very fairly for the painting. He obviously was knowledgeable but no one seemed to know where I could find him with my most recent visit. A word of advice for the person that is overseeing the store; just give a pretty fair offer, folks know that you need to make a profit is why you are in the business, dont allow anyone to completely mislead anyone and lastly, be careful who you let run the front counter. I would be very happy to give you folks any knowledge that I have in the antiques and art world and I can get my hands on some good literature for you as well so that you keep that wonderful store of yours fair and completely honest for the better of Syracuses antiques reputation.
