The Scene
The high ceilings look like corrugated metal, with canned lights on metal beams giving the space an industrial look from above. But the showroom floors are packed with traditional fine furnishings, collectibles and accessories that could have come from your grandma's house--literally. Rave reviews from customers have made Gabriel's Trumpet a must-see.
The Goods
Gabriel's Trumpet reveals a treasure trove of home furnishings and accessories. Every inch of this 13,000-square-foot showroom has surprises, and many of them are antiques. The store is a consignment-based spot, but offers new items as well. You'll find furnishings dating back from just four months to four centuries.
The Extras
Plan on taking time to weave your way through the space. Discovery is half the fun. A complete dollhouse with furnishings is tagged at $1,795. An eight-piece "Parisian Chintz" china set with serving pieces, is $695. A souvenir pillow from Chicago's 1933 Century of Progress is $62.
