Limited Edition Art & Antiques reels in film fans with a stock of 8000 posters celebrating everything from classic stars to 'Star Wars.'
Opened in 1993, the couple has been restoring and selling movie-poster art since 2009, when Proctor retired from the oil-and-gas industry. They eventually added a back room where posters, promotional materials and even vinyl records are available for purchase. “It started as a hobby for ourselves and, then, Harry researched poster restoration and we started doing it for our customers,” says Betsy.
"Star Wars" memorabilia is a fan favorite at the Limited Edition Art & Antiques Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022 in Katy, TX.Of course, those latter posters bring in younger fans, which is what the Proctors want. “Both of us think it’s important to make an antique shop relevant and interesting for younger people,” says Harry. “Because, without young people, the antique business world would be dead. Because there aren’t enough old people interested in buying anymore.
Local film critic Alan Cerny enjoys what the store has to offer."The front of the store has many charming antiques, but it's in the back that you step into Hollywood yesteryear," he says via e-mail."There are a lot of posters, framed and on backboards, and they are kept in very good condition. I love the smell of all those posters, and the owners are very knowledgeable about film and take a lot of pride in their collection.
