While working hard to learn the knowledge of antique appraisal, Jin Muchen is also trying to do another thing, that is, to familiarize himself with the antique market in New York.

In New York, in addition to the high-end antique shops in the Manhattan area, there are many small antique markets, these small markets are similar to the antique distribution centers like Panjiayuan in Beijing, except for some fixed shops along the street, there are many weekends to set up stalls, although the scale is not as large as Panjiayuan, but with a strong American style.

Almost all of these antique bazaars are located in the Manhattan area.

New Yorkers have given these little bazaars a very interesting name: hell'skit - Hell's Kitchen weekend market.

There are actually three "dens" in Hell's Kitchen Market, which is always a no-go for antique players: one is the 39th Street Open-Air Market, which is famous for its antique furniture, decorations, and clothing.

The second is the 25th Street Antiquegarage - Antique Warehouse, which is famous for its antique jewelry and small items.

And the third is the West25thStreetMarket, which is known for its good quality and low prices.

Each of these three markets has its own unique characteristics, and it can be said that they are the most popular places to visit on weekends for collectors in New York and the surrounding area.

Jin Muchen is no exception, since he knew about such a market, he has become a frequent visitor to these markets, but there is one thing he doesn't understand when he wants to, and he even wants to break his head, and he doesn't figure out what this hell's kitchen has to do with antiques.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, Americans are so willful, people like to call it that, he doesn't need to know why, as long as he likes to shop.

During this time, Jin Muchen's main visit was the antique market on the side of 39th Street, which was also the largest of the three markets in Hell's Kitchen, with a lot of things inside, and many people came to set up stalls on weekends.

The market is located in a large open-air market at the corner of 9th and 39th Streets, plus an entire 39th Street and an extension of it, with hundreds of antique shops and stalls.

The market is held every weekend, and it sells all old objects from all over the country and Europe, and from time to time there are some Chinese-style boutiques.

Jin Muchen has been wandering around almost every weekend during this time, and has almost turned around the large and small antique shops here, not even those roadside stalls.

But he didn't find anything that he liked, after all, there are many antiques about Europe here, and there are many of them that he can't understand, about the knowledge of European antiques, he has been studying frantically recently, but this part can only rely on himself, and not on Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang is not very familiar with this aspect.

So for him, visiting such antique shops and stalls, on the one hand, is to learn antique knowledge, on the other hand, it is also a kind of training, whether he can pick up a leak is just to take a look, after all, such a thing as picking up a leak cannot happen every day.

But so far, his previous good luck seems to have run out, and after several weeks of continuous shopping, there has been no decent harvest.

The vendors who set up stalls here and the owners of those antique shops are all shrewd and no worse than those money strings in Panjiayuan, and although the good things are also put on the shelves, the prices are definitely not low.

If you want to pick up the leak, you don't have that chance.

Although I didn't find anything good, the coffee at HK Coffee on the corner of 39th Street was good, which was an unexpected discovery. The full name of the coffee is also hell'skit-Hell's Kitchen, which is the same as the name of a reality show on a TV station in the United States, Jin Muchen doesn't know if the name of this coffee shop is related to the name of this antique market.

However, the restaurant's signature smoked fish eggs Benedict and mimosa, a drink mixed with orange juice and champagne, both taste good, and Jin Muchen comes here every weekend before he visits here.

This weekend, Jin Muchen was still no exception, after getting up early, he said hello to Uncle Fang and went straight to 39th Street in Manhattan.

During this time, Candace seemed to be busy preparing for several exams, so the two didn't have much time to meet, which instead gave Jin Muchen more time to spend on studying and researching antique appraisal.

This time, Jin Muchen still chose to take the subway to 39th Street, after all, it is too difficult to find a parking space in Manhattan, and even if you can find it, the parking fee here is too expensive for him.

When you come to the entrance of 39th Street, it is already full of people, although it is only ten o'clock, the market has just begun, but collectors from all over New York have already entered.

The streets were crowded with small vendors from all over the world, none of them very large, but they were about the same size as the small antique stalls on Hester Street that he had been to before.

However, most of these stalls are already selling antique furniture, and some are selling all kinds of vintage clothing.

Vintage clothing, literally translated into Chinese, is second-hand clothing, but this is only literal, there is no such concept in the domestic antique circle.

But in the antique circles of the United States, this concept is very popular, but these second-hand clothes must be boutique, have historical value, have a historical positioning, and especially can represent a certain period, some specific elements of the boutique to be good.

In a phrase with a bit of b, it embodies a mature, timeless classic charm.

And in the vernacular, it means that such clothes can be worn in the past, can be worn now, and will be worn in the future, and they are not purely designed to cater to the fashion of the season.

Like Audrey in the 50s. Hepburn wears skinny pants, 60s Emilio. Pucci's blouses with botanical prints and Chanel's dress throughout the era were the most standard vintage garments.

Moreover, such a boutique must also be preserved in good condition, not dirty or messy.

So this kind of market is very popular with women, and every weekend, what Jin Muchen sees most on this street are those girls who wear flowers.

And these girls, some of them are models of big companies, some are even some small stars, and even some American celebrities, anyway, they are not the same as the women he saw on Hester Street before, Su zhì is obviously a step higher.

This can be regarded as adding some beautiful scenery to this antique street, even if you don't receive anything you like after a day of shopping, but you can see these eye-catching beauties, which is enough to make people feel that this trip is worthwhile.

Jin Muchen took a cup of coffee and walked aimlessly on this street, those antique furniture, to be honest, look very good, as soon as you touch it, you know that the materials are very good, and the carving is exquisite, they are all good things from the previous year.

But the price is not cheap, but these things are not what he wants, as for those vintage clothes, although they are second-hand, but because some of the clothes are either inlaid with gold, or inlaid with silver, or even more exaggerated and intudded with diamonds, so each piece is also expensive.

Some of them don't have such special decorations, but because they were worn by a celebrity before, the price is even higher than those with gold and silver.

Therefore, even if Jin Muchen has the heart, he is unable to acquire it.

Could it be that today is another day of shopping? Seeing that the time was already in the afternoon, and the market was about to end in a few hours, Jin Muchen was a little unwilling.

At the moment when he sighed, he suddenly saw a figure that made him feel very familiar, and after taking a closer look, Jin Muchen couldn't help but smile.

That's right, the guy who set up the stall in front of him was the acquaintance who let him get the first pot of gold before, the black man who exchanged the Yongzheng pastel bowl for a takeaway meal with him.

It's really a place not to meet in life, Jin Muchen was still thinking about whether to go to his house again to see if there is a kettle for the dog to drink, or a bathtub for bathing or something, but I didn't expect this guy to appear here.

And this guy's current identity is the owner of a small stall, and his stall is mainly to buy some silverware.

Jin Muchen walked over with a smile and began to look at the things on this stall, which was different from other stalls that bought silverware, there were not many silverware in his stall, mainly some tableware, coffee pots and the like, and the rest were miscellaneous things, such as some trees from the previous year, or a few small ornaments carved from maple, etc., there were not many things, but it could be seen that each one was a fine product.

"Hey! Dude, what's in your eye? Pick and choose? ”

The black stall owner came over to say hello warmly, but he didn't recognize the guy in front of him, who was the same person who delivered him food more than a month ago.

Originally, Jin Muchen also came over to take a casual glance, but when the corner of his eyes swept by, a surprise unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes again.

There was a flash of silver in front of him, and Jin Muchen was sure that he was not mistaken, and on the left side of the front stall was a set of silver tea sets, which was a set of classical European-style tea sets composed of a silver coffee pot, a teapot and a sugar pot.

"Boss, bring me that tea set."

The old black hurriedly took the tea set to Jin Muchen, and as soon as Jin Muchen got started, he felt that this set of tea sets was very heavy, and it seemed to be genuine.

After taking a closer look in front of him, the silver light on the three silver kettles was brighter, according to his experience, it was obvious that this was a set of antique tea sets, but what exactly it came from, he couldn't tell clearly.

After all, during this time, although he was also crazy about the knowledge of antiques, most of them were about Chinese antiques, although he also had a strategy for Western antiques, but he only learned some about the surface.

"Man, you have a good eye, this is a set of silverware with a distinctly Rococo style, an eighteenth-century antique, from the English ......."
