Panorama Galleries

This business closed recently. Does anyone know where they’ve moved to?

I’ve known Alex (the owner) for a little over two years. Panorama used to have a second location on 4^th Ave near Union Square, but he closed that one last year and moved everything to the Bedford Ave location. He does get some really phenomenal estate pieces but he also has a good amount of common and inexpensive pieces as well. His shop is where the Manhattan dealers go to get their stuff, so his prices are very competitive. If you’re talented, and have a good eye, you can get some great restoration candidates from the area in back for cheap. I purchased a pair of mid century chairs in need of refinishing and reupholstery for $ 120, did all the work myself, and was able to turn them into a set of $ 1,200 chairs with only a minor investment.
This is the place.

You will find cheap used furniture and expensive antiques here. Big things and little things. Take your pick. I scoured the whole darn place and ended up with a tall walnut bookcase, a large white wardrobe and a small bookshelf for less than $ 200. If I had purchased this stuff at retail, it would have cost me $ 400, easily. Plus, they delivered everything to my Bed Stuy digs for $ 20. Cha-​ching!

So many pretty things. Lamps, bed frames, paintings, tables, lamps. chandeliers, mirrors, lamps. In a few days, or hours, we will be back as their selection of chandeliers and lamps are beautiful and inexpensive as the bed frame we got.
Their upholstery has place for improvement, but their prices more than make up for it. This is absolutely the place to live above your means; champaign on a beer budget? Try Glen Garioch on a tap budget.
