Our Favorite Online Vintage Home Shops to Score One-of-a-Kind Finds

These pieces tell a story.

By Katherine Fluor

We love the thrill of the hunt at weekend antique markets—there’s nothing quite like discovering a treasure just waiting to be taken to its forever home. That said, it’s not an easy process. Early morning call times, dust-covered everything, sifting and sorting through hundreds of items before you find the one. It often feels like professional antique hunters are the only ones who score the really good finds. But there are actually tons of online vintage home shops where you can shop for vintage pieces and antiques from the comfort of home.

For many of us, shopping for vintage while tucked in bed with a cup of coffee is much more enjoyable than rising at the crack of dawn to brave the endless aisles of antique markets. With many antique festivals canceled or postponed, now is a better time than ever to support these businesses who heavily rely on in-person shopping to pay the bills and keep their shops alive and thriving.

Many antique dealers across the country have since taken their shops online to get their inventory out there, and we couldn’t be happier to support them and find some gems for our own homes that we would otherwise miss out on.

Whether you’re looking for a vintage Eames chair, beautiful Turkish rugs, art to add to your gallery wall, or unusual knickknacks, these stores have you covered. Here are our favorite online vintage home shops to help your home achieve its own special style while supporting some great small businesses and antique dealers in the process.
