Antiques, Vintage &Thrifting
A Local Guide toAntiquing, Vintage Finds, Thrifting & Other Fantastic Discoveries for Your Home
There is a particular satisfaction that comes from finding something unique that adds a real charm or flavor to a collected home.
Perhaps it’s a weathered English farm table that somehow fits your dining room perfectly. A mid-century lamp with the ideal patina. A glass trinket that adds the perfect pop of color to the room, or a set of vintage brass candlesticks discovered on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Unlike something ordered with a few clicks and delivered in a cardboard box, these pieces arrive with stories attached. They have lived lives before ours.
The most memorable homes are rarely furnished all at once. They are assembled over years, layered, through curiosity, patience, and the occasional stroke of luck. A treasured antique found at a local shop. A vintage chair discovered at an estate sale. A one-of-a-kind object that simply feels meant to be.
Fortunately, our area is rich with remarkable resources for collectors, decorators, and anyone who appreciates the thrill of the hunt. From carefully curated boutiques and architectural salvage specialists to estate-sale experts and auction houses, these local destinations prove that some of the best finds are hiding just around the corner.
TROVE
The name says it all. The space is filled with richly layered European furnishings, architectural elements, artwork, lighting, and decorative objects that feel as though they’ve been gathered from centuries-old estates and tucked-away markets abroad. Curated by Emily Hyatt, there is a tasteful sense of abundance through a collection of pieces chosen not simply for age, but for beauty, craftsmanship, and presence. Gilded mirrors, weathered woods, sumptuous textiles, sculptural objects, and unexpected treasures create an experience that feels transportive.

THE KNACK SHOPPE
The Knack Shoppe embraces one of the great truths of collecting: you never know what you’ll find. Owner Mary Zipkin has built a loyal following through both her shop and her highly anticipated estate sales, sourcing furniture, artwork, décor, jewelry, and unexpected treasures with equal enthusiasm. The inventory changes constantly, making every visit feel a little different from the last. For serious treasure hunters, keeping an eye on her upcoming estate sales is almost a sport.

MODERN DAY AUCTIONS
For those who love the thrill of the hunt but don’t necessarily have time to spend weekends combing through estate sales, Modern Day Auctions has become a secret weapon. The locally-based online auction house regularly uncovers everything from designer furnishings and fine art to antiques, collectibles, and entire estate contents. Inventory changes constantly, which means every auction brings fresh opportunities to discover something special. The danger, of course, is that you’ll log on looking for one thing and end up bidding on three.

RESTORE
Some of the most satisfying finds happen when you have to do the work and actually find them, which is part of the magic of ReStore. Operated by Housatonic Habitat for Humanity, the Danbury location offers an ever-changing inventory of donated furniture, lighting, architectural elements, cabinetry, artwork, décor, and building materials. One visit might yield a vintage chandelier or a full set of outdoor furniture; the next, a perfectly weathered farm table or gorgeous wallpaper. Less curation and more hunt, but there’s always something - and the prices can’t be beat! Better still, every purchase supports Habitat’s mission, making it one of the few treasure hunts where everyone wins.
