Brick Store Antiques

Nice little shop in downtown Bath, almost didn’t stop here but we did. I found a great piece of Roseville bushberry for a very fair price.

We’re very lucky in New England to have such history here and with that comes loads of really old stuff that ends up in all the antique shops that abound in these parts.
Going antiquing as I’ve done say in a relatively new state like Washington doesn’t inspire nearly as much awe as can be had here on the East Coast. Not that I’m comparing one coast over the other… I love them both equally. ;-))
But stopping in a shop like this on any tour of the Maine coast can be a fun as well as a bit of a history lesson.
This is a very pleasant place in quaint downtown Bath which is a town worth stopping in all on its own merit, for sure.
The shop is housed in one of the many lovely old brick buildings that you’ll find in this part of Maine. They are really charming all by themselves. The inside has beautiful old hardwood floors and exposed brick walls.
While it didn’t have the oldest merchandise I’ve ever seen and even had an occasional «newer» item or two, it did have a nice assortment of furniture, lamps, vintage china, and knick-​knacks from days gone by all nicely arranged so that it’s easy to see things and get at them for closer inspection. Some shops are so filled with stuff that it’s difficult to navigate; not so here.
I spotted a gorgeous vintage bridal gown which made me wonder what the history was behind it as I imagined some pretty bride from many years ago wearing it on her special day.
There is a chandelier in here that I loved but alas we left it behind for some other lucky scavenger.
I’ll definitely stop in again next time I’m in Bath.
