Discover upscale antiques, funky finds, and quirky collectibles.

With Virginia’s rich history and classic Southern style, it’s no surprise the area is a hotspot for unique collectibles and fine antiques. In NoVa, we found some standouts: 

Suzanne Eblen opened The Old Lucketts Store in 1998 after lovingly restoring the original general store and Luckett family home in Leesburg. There, shoppers can peruse more than 35 vendors with an array of antiques and vintage items and see the latest home interior trends at the Design House. And don’t miss the spring and fall markets at Clarke County Fairgrounds nearby. LuckettsMarkets.com

Alexandria’s charming Del Ray neighborhood comes alive with a range of colorful vendors at Del Ray Vintage & Flea the second Saturday of each month.
