Antiques are certainly a popular pastime in Connecticut, and there are many antique markets dedicated to collectibles. There are also many of the warehouse-style antique shops that house several different vendors under one roof. Most of these are open every day, and the shopping is never spoilt by bad weather. Antiques on the Farmington is one of these places and should not be missed by anyone with a curiosity for antiques or a desire for unique pieces.
Antiques on the Farmington is located in the quiet town of Collinsville, which has a rich history that makes it the perfect backdrop for an amazing antique store like this. There is also a great art scene in this town; both newly created and antique pieces, which means that art lovers of all kinds will not be disappointed.
Established in 1991 in the beautiful historic Collins Axe Factory, Antiques on the Farmington has grown over the years but still maintains a size of around 50 vendors under one roof. This is slightly smaller than many of the other antique warehouses around, and this added intimacy makes the shopping experience all the more enjoyable. Still, there is more than enough to see, and the two floors of the building extend much further than you would think from the outside.
Antiques on the Farmington sells a lot of jewellery and a huge range of china and porcelain. There is also some great wooden furniture at very reasonable prices and of course a range of other collectables from toys to typewriters. If a customer cannot find what they are looking for, they are encouraged to leave a note for the staff who will be in touch if a suitable item finds its way into the shop. This great service is why Antiques on the Farmington has so many loyal customers and repeat visitors!
