Gone Antiquing Nº2

20 beautiful old finds for a well-curated, timeless, and collected home.

Hello, readers. This is my first note to paying subscribers. You can upgrade your subscription to paid anytime to read this post in full and see details for all the antique finds below. I’ll be back Sunday with a new Curio Cabinet post for everyone to enjoy!

Hope you all are having a good week so far! DC saw real snow for the first time in two years and I couldn’t be happier about it. It was the loveliest way to spend my day off on Monday - cozied in on the couch, marathoning some real housewives, candles lit, and in my comfies. My idea of productivity was spending hours scanning for new antiques and vintage finds to share with you all — and doing my absolute best not to snatch things up for myself!

This is my first post for paid subscribers, but wanted to share a preview for everyone in case you want to continue seeing the type of content I’m sharing. For those paying, I want to be sure I’m sharing with you the posts that take the most time, like my more thoughtful product roundups or personal musings. The last post in this series sits at my top 5 most popular, so I know this is something you all want to see more of. And it certainly takes hours to comb through antiques I want to recommend to you all, so this felt like a good one to put behind the paywall.

Clearly, you are my people since you love antiquing just as much as I do. This round, I couldn’t help but include a few furniture pieces as I’ve been heavily inspired by Swedish Gustavian styles lately - such gorgeous woodwork and in beautiful light washes. I also included a good mantel for less than $800 (hard to find!) in case you are on the hunt and want to upgrade your rental! And as always, a few smaller, less expensive pieces for home. So, without further ado…

This month’s antique roundup comes from Chairish. Where probably 25% of my apartment is from, like my dining room table and chandelier, plus several alabaster lamps and my white wicker one! Not as inexpensive as Etsy sellers, but the quality of the pieces I find on Chairish is top tier. With much more curated shops and a fabulous search/filter system, I often find myself there when I’m on the hunt for very specific items.
