Annabell's Attic

READERS' PICK: Toys, and much more, are in the Attic at Annabell's. Maybe your living room needs a 4-foot Art-Nouveau brass nude? A suit of armor? A mummy sarcophagus? Perhaps you just need a classically-styled dresser, bed or armoire to strike the right note? Annabell's Attic has a huge selection of antique, contemporary and replica furniture for the discerning shopper. Beautifully carved Asian chairs share space with ornate English-style sideboards. 78-rpm recordings of Xavier Cugat's rumbas sit next to not-so-antique CD players and televisions. A portable vacuum-tube tester raises a spirited debate about its purpose among a young group of browsing shoppers. Some of the values at Annabell's are antique; some just look that way. The mummy cases may not be from the Pharanoic dynasties, but they're not cursed, either.
