Another consignment store, Décor NYC, has just opened in New York, with 6,000 square feet of space for furniture and decorative accessories from consumers, decorators and designer showrooms.

The store owner, Bruce Tilley, who worked for Alexander Julian, said that in researching furniture consignment he found a few online sources and a few brick-and-mortar thrift shops, but not much else for show-house pieces, items long in storage and purchases that decorators made for clients that did not work out.

"We have everything from period antiques to midcentury to the '70s, as well as new product," Mr. Tilley said. "We have a beautiful Biedermeier table a decorator bought for a client, but it was too small. I have a sofa from Kips Bay."

As is standard with consignments, the store, in Chelsea, takes 50 percent of each sale; anything unsold is returned to the consignor or may be donated to Housing Works. Décor NYC, 159 West 25th Street (Seventh Avenue), (212) 488-4977 or decornyc.com.
