Antique World owner to open upscale antique store in Clarence
Kelly Schultz, who once sold an antique Chinese vase for $1.5 million, plans to open a new shop in Clarence to sell high-end antiques and art to well-heeled customers.
In a converted auto showroom, he’ll display Tiffany lamps that cost $50,000, paintings by artists that may sell for $5,000 to $50,000, bronze and marble statues, and other costly items that he now keeps in a back room of his existing business, Antique World, or in his office.
“This will be my place for the best of the best. A place for my special paintings and bronzes, ornamental rugs and lamps,” Schultz, 65, said of the new store he hopes to open about a half-mile from Antique World.
