Architectural Antiques Exchange

Architectural Antiques Exchange deals in antique bars, including American saloon bars and bars from English, French, and Belgian restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Some pieces have been restored and others are kept in original condition. The inventory also covers antique and reproduction mantels, doors, stained glass, ironwork, lighting, mirrors, and pub decor such as English pub signs, etched windows, and Belgian beer towers.

The shop is at 721 North Second Street in Philadelphia and is open Monday through Saturday. Items can be shipped nationwide, and the store encourages buyers to inspect pieces in person since returns are for store credit only. The owner started in the trade in the 1970s, salvaging stained glass and Victorian mantels from urban renovations, and the business has since supplied restaurants, bars, wineries, and film and television productions.
