I read this about 2010 - 2015. I think it takes place in New York City.

A few long shots:

- Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead?

- The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt?

John, are some furniture pieces of dubious/ questionable provenance? Or are they mostly inexpensive items?

Could this be called an antique store?

What is the story's time period?
