The Brass Alligator

St. Louis Antique Shop

The Brass Alligator operates a storefront in St. Louis, Missouri selling antique and vintage furniture, home decor, collectibles, and art. We also host estate sales across the St. Louis area.

The final touches on tomorrow evening. I bet you didn’t know that 67 is my favorite number, did you? Can’t wait to see you!

It’s that time of year again around the shop, hours of polishing silver begins to take place and by the time it’s completed we’re sick of seeing anything as much as a silver tone to it.
•
Unpolished and aged silver-plate can be absolutely stunning in its own right, with a rainbow or chameleon hue being achieved from years of oxidation. To me, this can almost have a gothic or primitive look and is absolutely beautiful. The irony, is that only time and actual use can recreate the even wear and color of aged silver, compared to a bright polished piece which can take minutes or hours.
•
Given the choice, what’s your preference, left or right?

Super Funky Mid Century rolling cart. These were often used as television stands, however, with some ingenuity they can be great for record players, bar carts or house plants. As shown, I’ve placed a vintage tray I found on this cart and it’s instant magic! 🎱

Well, we made it an entire year and somehow we’re still standing, still growing and still striving to be better than yesterday. The Shop couldn’t have made it without the help of several key people (you know who you are) and particularly our loyal clients who support us week in and week out. Thank you so much.
•
Please join us Saturday, December 15th for our second annual holiday party. 5pm-9pm (You know we’ll be going well past 9pm) Enjoy a fully stocked open bar, food spread, music, movies, antiques, games and chat with excellent company.

We loved this dual sided 4 panel Asian Room divider. The use of screens can help you divide a room, create privacy or most often in my case hide a mess!

Are you one of those people that have an amazing green thumb that makes everyone else jealous with your gorgeous plants? If so, this antique dry sink might take your planting skills from the pro to legend status. I think this would be perfect on a covered porch or a sun room. Anyone else have a different vision for it?
•
Now available @treasure_aisles in our big booth! Note, the paint is original and achieved through time, not a shabby chic trick.

Sometimes you just need a drink. Believe me on that. Make sure to do it in style by shopping The Brass Alligator for the coolest barware in St. Louis, just like these vintage Mack Truck VIP rocks glasses.

Are you hosting for the Holidays? If you answered yes, then it’s time to make sure Aunt Linda and Uncle Leo can appropriately make their drinks! What better of a way to accomplish this than a new bar cart, rock glasses or a crystal decanter? The Brass Alligator has a large selection of all of the above and you can find them at our storefront or our various booths. The cart featured here can be found in the all new @mamstlouis along with much more.

Shop for Aunt Linda 👵🏽 and Uncle Leo 👴🏽.
