Midland Arts & Antiques: Indianapolis' Hidden Treasure Trove! 🏺✨

📍 The Largest Antique Market in Indy Nestled in downtown Indianapolis, Midland Arts & Antiques is a two-floor wonderland with hundreds of vendors selling everything from vintage jewelry and oil paintings to mid-century furniture and rare books. 🇨🇳 A Surprise for Chinese Antique Lovers One booth stopped me in my tracks—an entire glass case of Qianlong-era export porcelain! 🏮 These 18th-century "Guangcai" wares (made in China for European markets) were far more vibrant and intricate than late Qing pieces. The gilded floral patterns and perfectly preserved sets made me want to empty my wallet! (Alas, my suitcase said no. 😭) 🛍️ Hunting Tips Go early—this place is massive (allow 2+ hours!). Chat with vendors—many are collectors with wild stories. Look for: Art Deco lamps 💡 Victorian cameos 👑 1950s Americana 🍔 📍 Details Address: 907 E Michigan St, Indianapolis, IN 46202 Hours: Tue-Sat 10AM-5PM #AntiqueHunting #ChinesePorcelain #QianlongEra #IndyHiddenGems 🏛️🔍
