Maurice Antiques

Maurice Antiques is listed at 25 N Federal Hwy, in the north end block of storefronts that make up Dania Beach’s Antique Row, a section of Federal Highway that has carried independent antique dealers for decades just north of Dania Beach Boulevard in the city’s older downtown core. The same address and phone number also appear in some directories under a related gallery name, suggesting the storefront may present itself under more than one name for different parts of its inventory, a general antiques side and an art or fine goods side.

Florida’s Division of Corporations records list a filing under Maurice Antiques Inc, currently shown as inactive with the state. As is the case with several small, long running antique shops in this district, an inactive corporate filing often reflects a lapsed annual report rather than a business that has stopped trading, but without an active filing to point to, the shop’s current operating status could not be independently confirmed beyond its presence in local business directories.

Antique dealers along this part of Federal Highway generally carry a broad mix of furniture, art, decorative objects, and smaller collectibles, sourced from estate sales and private collections around South Florida, and a shop using both an antiques name and an art oriented name may be signaling that it handles both categories under one roof. That kind of dual identity is not unusual among older, established dealers in a district that has evolved over many years of ownership and inventory changes.

Dania Beach is a compact Atlantic coast city in Broward County, situated between Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, and Antique Row has remained one of its most recognizable local shopping districts even as the retail center of gravity in the wider area has shifted toward Dania Pointe’s national chain stores near Interstate 95. Maurice Antiques, with its long presence at this North Federal Highway address, represents the kind of legacy dealer that gave the district its original character.

Given the inactive corporate filing, anyone interested in visiting Maurice Antiques should call ahead to confirm the shop is currently open and to ask about current hours and inventory, a reasonable precaution for any older, established shop in a district that has seen some turnover in recent years. If open, the address remains centrally located within Antique Row, close to several other longstanding dealers along the same block of North Federal Highway, and within easy reach of the rest of downtown Dania Beach on foot.
