There’s
one thing for sure about Virginia, and that is there’s an abundance
of antique dealers
scattered throughout the Commonwealth.
From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic coast, Virginia has a
treasure trove of shops and malls to peruse through.
From exceptional antique
dealers that specialize in fine American, British and Continental
furniture and decorative arts from the 17th,
18th
and 19th
and early 20th
centuries, to the weekend
markets that offer used furnishings and brick-a-brac at a flea price. So,
whatever you are hunting for, you are most likely going to find it in
one of Virginia’s many antiquing haunts
In
this blog, we will focus on antique shops located around coastal
Tidewater, Virginia (also known as Hampton Roads). This incorporates
the cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Virginia
Beach, Hampton & Newport News and its surrounding areas. These
are the shops that specialize in true authentic antique items that
may include furniture, silver, porcelains, lighting art and
decorative arts.
