Antiquing Around Town: New Finds & Old Favorites
Written by Kaitlin Hill
From elegant 18th-century French furnishings to cottagecore décor accents, Hunt Country has no shortage of antique shops with vintage finds for every style, budget, and home. This issue, we are celebrating new shops and revisiting old favorites, with more online coverage to come.
Baileywyck Antiques
4274 Loudoun Avenue, The Plains, VA 20198
Housed in a repurposed fire station, Baileywyck has been a favorite of collectors, designers, and homeowners for nearly 20 years. The 6,400-square-foot gallery specializes in “period antiques, 1700s and upward, with an emphasis on continental European — especially French provincial, Swedish, and primitive American pieces,” according to the owner, Lisa Vella. She says, “We also carry some mid-century modern pieces, custom upholstered sofas and chairs, lighting, tabletop décor, and unique equestrian art and collectibles. We have one of the region’s largest and most meticulously curated collections.”
When asked what makes Baileywyck unique, Vella says, “Scale, diversity, and quality.” She adds, “We really try to create a comfortable atmosphere, which now includes a small garden area and a wonderful gathering area that will be available for rent with five vintage sofas from the Gramercy Hotel in New York.” The area will be used to showcase local artists and musicians, too. When passing through The Plains, a visit to Baileywyck “is sure to spark inspiration,” according to Vella. “The most rewarding thing is meeting and connecting people with each other as well as becoming a part of their homes, whether it’s a beautiful French armoire that evokes Provence or an equestrian painting that captures their love of Hunt Country.”
Elsass Furnishings
5 E. Loudoun Street, Round Hill, VA 20141
The century-old, adorable blue building off of Route 7 in Round Hill is home to an abundance of gorgeous antiques sourced exclusively from the Alsace region of France. Owned by Pamela Graff, the business opened on Bastille Day in 2023 and has “an eclectic mix of furniture, art, and décor items,” Graff shares. She continues, “…our inventory has a more rustic feel that fits well to the Virginia Hunt Country aesthetic.”
While Elsass’ most sought-after offering is its art collection according to Graff, there is something for everyone and at every budget. She says, “We travel to the Alsace region of France and go to local markets, trusted dealers, and individual residences to source the most unique and quality pieces and the best possible prices.” Beyond being an antiquing destination, “Our clients often just stop in for a chat or to catch up! We love being a place for people to stop by to say hello and to see what is new,” Graff explains. She finishes, “We love being part of the community and to provide a beautiful and friendly place for local residents and tourists to visit.”
NEW in Marshall: Frost Street Collective
4238 Frost Street, Marshall, VA 20115
Aptly named, Frost Street Collective, which opened this February, combines the buying powers of a group of small businesses that handpick, create, or curate all the goods in the shop. The result? A unique collection of finds including everything from furniture and art to live plants and vintage clothes. Visitors will find cottagecore furnishings by Cottage Lane Vintage, new mosaics and oil originals by local artist Terry Schulman, and even Remnant Farm Kombucha on tap.
Owner Melanie Wentworth shares, “Every piece is intentionally chosen to reflect a commitment to creativity, wellness, and conscious living. Vendors source items from trusted vintage markets and small businesses that prioritize ethical, sustainable practices. Shopping here is an experience — one that connects a passionate, like-minded community in the heart of Hunt Country.”
NEW in Middleburg: Roger on Madison
6 S. Madison Street, Middleburg, VA 20117
Fans of Linda Mason, owner of Middleburg Antique Gallery on Washington Street, now have a new opportunity to shop with her. On April 19, Mason opened Roger on Madison around the corner in the former Middleburg Bride space. Of Roger’s inventory, she says, “This is special because it’s all curated by me. So it’s my look.” The new space evokes a gentleman’s lounge where one would not look out of place smoking a cigar. The moody blue walls, leather furniture, and expansive collection of antiques is as inviting as it is inspiring for anyone looking to find the perfect piece for their home. Mason shares, “You can find a painting for $50,000 or for $50.”
Mason is also excited about the rotating themes she’ll bring to the shop. So far she’s executed a nautical theme and, based on a recent trip to Montana, will transform the space into a mountain lodge next. Her ability to transition between themes and keep her inventory fresh is down to having “great pickers … so I’m able to get all of these great European finds from these amazing people that have been doing this their whole lives.” She is also working with local artist Anthony Barham and his brother, who lives on Portobello Road. “Every three months I am getting new inventory.”
Mason wants clients to feel like they can sit and stay awhile, too. She says, “It is set up where you feel like you can sit down and hang out with your friends … and I just got my ABC license approved, so Roger will be selling wines hand-selected by me.” For Mason, who is no stranger to owning a successful antique shop, this one has even more meaning as it was inspired by her father. She shares, “It means a lot that most everyone who knows him walks in and says, ‘Your dad would be so proud.’ It’s like we can feel him here sitting on the couch having this beer with us.”
Vintage29
365 W. Shirley Avenue, Warrenton, VA 20186
“Our inventory comes from all over, really. We scour estate sales, auctions, old barns, other antique stores, and flea markets all over the country,” Vintage29 owner Jolie Carroll shares. “Several of our dealers source in Europe when possible. We are constantly looking for special and unique items and spend a lot of time on the road every week sourcing.” She adds, “We have 40 incredibly talented dealers who are dedicated to sourcing and curating quality items. They work really hard to display their items beautifully for our customers.”
In those displays, visitors to the shop will find “a wide variety of antique and vintage goods to include furniture and accessories, clothing, original art, and lighting. We also offer some handmade local apothecary [items], leather goods, art, and local honey. We have some newer home décor sprinkled in, as well.” Carroll hopes returning customers will always find something new. “We strive to have fresh merchandise every time our customers visit us,” she explains. No matter what her customers are shopping for, “it’s so fun to see what people fall in love with for their own homes or helping them find a special gift for a loved one.” ML
