There are so many incredible antique shops in New Jersey and most are worth a drive. They vary in size and selection, but each holds countless treasures within its walls. I have a special place in my heart for antiques, as every item tells a story…is a part of history. There’s really not a single Garden State store that I don’t appreciate, but some stand out as extra special. Here’s one…

The People's Store Antiques Center in Lambertville was voted the best antiques center in the Philadelphia area by Best of Philly in 2014.

It was also voted the best antique shop by Hunterdon Happenings in 2015. The mall is housed in a historic building that dates back to 1839.

The antique center offers nearly 50 dealers on four levels.

They're open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.. Each floor offers something different to discover. The lower level is the "discovery arcade," while the main level is the "antiques gallery." There are also working artist studios.

What a stunning sideboard - an elegant addition to any dining room! There are all types of treasures...

A true one stop shop, you'll find one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, art, vintage sports memorabilia, books, clothing, jewelry, metalware and more. Goods can date back centuries and you never know what gems you'll find. There's even an entire wing dedicated to the best of France. Oh, and the lighting options are truly spectacular!

Each item is one-of-a-kind.

You can expect incredible quality, the finest selection and knowledgeable staff.

In addition to the antiques, you'll find working artist galleries.

Head to 3W (floor and wing) for Eleanor Voorhees Fine Arts and Kelly Sullivan Fine Art. Note that this painting is from neither gallery but rather a mid-century work. Doesn't it transport you straight to the shore?

These photos only paint a small portion of the picture. See why designers, celebrities and locals all flock to this incredible antique mall in the short video below. You really get a scope of the selection.
