Antique shopping online


If I had unlimited funds I'd spend a good chunk of it on unique vintage furniture. As I don't, I spend an obscene amount of time window-shopping online.
One of my favourite resources, 1stdibs, the antiques portal and source of much design insporn has a slick new website with bloggy articles about dealers, designers, and furniture. As usual it abounds with interesting objets. Enjoy!

An equally fine site is www.bondandbowery.com , which presents its offerings in a less cluttered fashion and has much better search functionality. I've had a number of other designers refer me to the site. Enjoy!

I'm always afraid to open my by-subscription 1stDibs email - when I get it I know I'm in for a good ten-fifteen minutes of pure coveting. Everything is just so good.

pretty n pink sounds like an ad for bond and boory, I have been on that site, its pretty weak. Looks like a place for all of the dealers rejected by 1stdibs.

I've gone to a few of the stores that are on 1stdibs...at the actual stores the items seemed to be about 35%+ off of what's listed on here...and of course you can dicker from there...

Yet, still out of my budget! LOL
