We are a unique antique shop, with a specialty in Asian and Chinese Antiques, in Kensington, MD. But that is only the start of it. At The Cusp of Extinction we have created an antiques shop where we have always

sought to curate the most distinctive and decorative small items from the cultures of the East and West, as well as the occasional indigenous artifact, each one at the time. All are displayed in our small, tasteful retail space. There are cabinets of curiosities and hand-

crafted items filling every available niche. Since we are an antiques shop, we focus on

items manufactured before 1920.
