Antiquing For Fall
CONTACT US
Antiquing is one of our favorite ways to discover those rare, one-of-a-kind pieces that add depth, character, and a sense of history to any room. There’s something special about the hunt, especially in the Northeast, where the antiquing scene is rich with opportunities.
It's September and we’ve been visiting some of our favorite places—from the sprawling Brimfield Antique Show to the quaint shops scattered throughout the Hamptons. Each location offers its own unique finds. Brimfield, with its vast selection of vendors, is where we’ve uncovered everything from vintage furnishings to timeless lighting and artwork. In the Hamptons, we always make a point to stop by English Country Antiques in Bridgehampton, which perfectly blends antique and modern pieces. There’s something particularly satisfying about finding that perfect item, whether it’s a carefully weathered table or a piece of vintage art that tells its own story.
When we’re on the lookout for antiques, we focus on finding pieces that will elevate a space with their quality and craftsmanship. What draws us in is often the patina—the history that’s visible in every detail, whether it’s the soft, worn leather of a vintage chair or the aged finish of a wooden console. These are the kinds of pieces that bring so much character to a room. They hold a certain weight, a story that newer pieces just don’t offer.
In addition to furniture, we’re always looking for decorative items that can tie a room together. For example, we’re particularly drawn to antique rugs that add warmth and texture underfoot, and lighting fixtures like chandeliers or sconces that bring a touch of old-world elegance. Vintage mirrors are another favorite—they not only reflect light and make a space feel larger, but they also serve as beautiful focal points with their intricate frames. And we can never pass up well-crafted accessories like ceramics, glassware, or architectural fragments that can bring a sense of history into a space in more subtle ways.
What makes antiquing even more exciting for us is how these timeless pieces blend effortlessly into both traditional and modern spaces. We’re always mixing old and new in our designs. A mid-century credenza can look stunning next to a contemporary sofa, or an ornate, vintage mirror can add an unexpected touch to an otherwise minimalist hallway. It’s this juxtaposition that really makes a space feel dynamic and thoughtful. Each piece, whether antique or modern, plays its part in telling a larger story.
We also believe that authenticity is something you can feel in a room. Antiques bring that authenticity in spades. Their age, their imperfections—they all contribute to a sense of soul and history. This is why we’re so careful when selecting pieces. We look for items with solid construction, beautiful finishes, and that sense of timelessness that transcends trends. It’s important that these pieces aren’t just beautiful but built to last.
Of course, there’s an art to picking the best items. We approach antiquing with an open mind but a clear vision. We inspect each piece carefully—checking for quality, asking about the item’s history, and imagining how it could fit into the broader design. A little wear is part of the charm, but we want to ensure that the piece is in good condition and that it can withstand the demands of everyday use.
And let’s not forget the art of negotiation. Haggling is an essential part of the antiquing experience, and while it can be tricky, we’ve learned to approach it with a combination of knowledge and politeness. Knowing the value of what you’re purchasing gives you confidence in the negotiation, and a friendly, respectful demeanor often leads to better results. We find that bundling items can help too—if you’re purchasing a few pieces, sellers are usually more willing to offer a discount.
Right now, we’re particularly excited about incorporating these finds into the projects we’re working on in Manhattan, The Hamptons, and throughout the Tri-state area. Each project has its own personality, and the antiques we’re sourcing play a huge role in making these spaces feel more curated and personal. We’ve been on the lookout for statement pieces like antique dining tables, hand-knotted rugs, and distinctive lighting, but we’re also drawn to the smaller touches—vintage vases, candlesticks, and even old books—that can add character and warmth to a room. These pieces, when mixed with contemporary designs, create that perfect balance of old and new.
Antiques truly belong in every home, regardless of style. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting to dip your toe into the world of antiquing, we think there’s always room for a piece with history. It adds dimension and a sense of narrative to a space that’s impossible to recreate with mass-produced items.
At Lola Tucker Interiors, we love nothing more than helping our clients find those special items that make their homes feel unique, layered, and timeless. As we continue our antiquing journey this fall, we’re excited to bring more treasures into our designs and, in turn, into your homes.
