The Emporium St. Louis

By Ashley Klein

This isn’t your average antique store. The Emporium truly lives up to its name, boasting a wide variety of fine antiques, artwork, furniture, lighting and much (much) more. A drive down this stretch of Route 66 guarantees you’ll glimpse its hotpink storefront flanked by statues, planters, garden furniture and other outdoor accoutrements, just hinting at the extensive selection within. The Emporium offers a distinctly European sensibility, yet enough variety to suit any home décor style, so you’re sure to find your new favorite treasure each time you step inside the store or peruse the catalogue on their site and Etsy.

Looking to liquidate your estate? The Emporium does that too – one of the many reasons LN readers give the shop a shout-out year after year.
