Whether you need a midcentury modern table in Hudson or an old typewriter in Rhinebeck, you’ll find vintage gems at these antique shops.
By Sabrina Sucato and Abby Audenino
When it comes to antiquing, the Hudson Valley is a bit like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag. Pop in one store and you’ll walk away with everything from cast iron pans and coffee pots to Shaker chairs and vintage tablecloths. Go to another and you just may find the perfect dining room table, bed frame, or record player to enliven your abode. Regardless of which thingamabobs and whatchamacallits call your name, you’ll find them all, and then some, at the region’s abundance of antique shops.
Get ready to grab a tote, clear out your car (trust us, you’ll need the space), and embark on an antiquing adventure.
