Horseman Antiques To Close Atlantic Avenue Storefront This Year

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, NY — Horseman Antiques will close its Atlantic Avenue storefront after 53-years in business this year after the owner sold the building for $18 million, Brownstoner reported.

The five-floor antique shop, at 351 Atlantic Ave., plans to close in nine months because owner Donald Gianchetta sold the building to an unnamed investor, according to Brownstoner. The store put deep discounts on its lighting, furniture and artwork as they try to clear out stock before the closing.

Horseman originally opened in 1962 but moved to their Atlantic Avenue location in the 1980s, one of several antique storefronts that littered the block at the time, Brownstoner reported. The shop will still maintain its location in Neptune City, N.J.

The antique store is the third business to announce it will close this year on Atlantic Avenue. The well-loved cookware shop A Cook's Companion plan to close their 197 Atlantic Ave. spot this month after more than 20 years in business so owners can spend more time with their family.

The home goods store Hunting With Jake also shuttered their 380 Atlantic Ave. spot last month as owners retooled to focus on their online shop.
