Western North Carolina Antique Guide
what better way to spend a brisk fall weekend than antiquing?Part scavenger hunt, part history lesson, searching for that perfect piece brings the past into the present. Whether your taste runs to finely wrought, European period furniture, country primitive cupboards or clean-edged, mid-century modern, it’s out there. And tracking it down is the most delicious part.
Our region is renowned for the quality and diversity of its antique shopping — all without the crowding, bustle and high price tags of the big city. How delightful to find fine Imari porcelain, as well as Blue Ridge china, a 200-year-old Chinese ox cart or a well-loved Flexible Flyer sled, all gift-wrapped, free of charge, in some of the most beautiful autumnal landscape this side of heaven.
