Biblio Story
There is something magical about a corner used bookstore. The kind that are scattered across the world, where the faint smell of aging cloth and paper mingles with the quiet shuffle of pages, of covers sliding against each other as they are taken from their shelves. There is something that literally jumps inside of us when we enter these nearly hallowed community mainstays.

It's something a little more than just the senses. Something more than the thousands of books waiting to be experienced for the first time. Something that's a throwback to an age that's slowly disappearing in our fast paced world. Something like walking right into the chapters of a story: a story that rolls up The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote, It's a Wonderful Life, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all into a single, magnificent epic that both embraces and turns us loose. We strive to be a part of that epic." ... more

"Buying and selling antiques runs in my blood and has been a part of my life since my childhood. I am a born Antiquer. I have been a buyer, seller, collector, hoarder, and accumulator, of antiques and old stuff for 50 years or more and I am close to 60 years old as of 2010.

My initial education in acquiring and appreciating antiques and collectibles began as a child working with my mother as we went curbside in New Jersey during monthly "pickup" week. My mom was such a fanatic that my home town instituted an ordinance in our hometown against having more than 2 sales a year. This was back in the 60's before yard sales were in vogue. She overcame that roadblock by simply moving the venue around. I remember those days, experiences, and the finds fondly! It was a lot different from today. (...)

The business was founded in 1865 in Bath by John Mallett, a jeweller and silversmith, and was carried on by his son, Walter Mallett, who expanded the trade to include old silver and furniture. In 1910 a shop was opened in New Bond Street, London and in 1937 the business, by which time had become one of the leading antique dealers in England, moved to London with the Bath premises being closed.

"The company's namesake and founder, Florian Papp, migrated to New York at the end of the 19th century from Budapest to work as a cabinetmaker and antique furniture restorer. Finding success in this venture, he eventually amassed a collection of European antiques and opened a gallery in 1900.

Florian Papp's gallery was originally located in Chelsea until his two sons, William and Joseph joined him in the 1940s and followed the trends of the New York art world to the 57th Street area. In 1955 along with William's wife Alice, this second generation changed locations again to the current location on Madison Avenue between 75 and 76 Street.

The third generation, Melinda and William Jr. joined in the late 1970s and currently function as co-directors.

Florian Papp discovers quality antiques by examining the collections of antique dealers, private sellers, estates, and auction galleries both in the United States and abroad. Many of the pieces have been in the collection before, chosen by one of the two previous generations. They consider over 1000 antiques a week but rarely buy more than one or two." ... more
