Red Schoolhouse Antiques at 1014 Bishop Meade Rd. in Millwood, Virginia is a destination antique shop housed in an actual historic schoolhouse building, offering over 8,000 square feet of European antiques, fine furniture, and decorative arts about an hour west of Washington D.C. in Virginia's Hunt Country. Founded in 1990 by Robin and Lorraine Murray, the shop has been a Shenandoah Valley institution for 35 years now. It grew out of successful barn sales at Lorraine's family farm that started back in 1986, and Lorraine herself grew up just a few miles away in Clarke County. Here's what sets this place apart: Robin grew up on his family farm in Galloway, Scotland, where the couple now lives, and they travel to Virginia specifically to restock with antiques sourced from Scotland, the UK, and Continental Europe. So this isn't your typical multi-dealer mall but a single-proprietor curated import operation. The inventory features bookcases, dining tables, console tables, buffets, cabinets, chests of drawers, estate artwork, decorative objects, and fine seating. Reviewers consistently mention finding quality pieces (mostly from Scotland) that are clean and in good condition. Customer reviews average 4.6 stars across Google, Yelp, and Facebook with praise for organized displays, knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices considering the quality. The schoolhouse setting in tiny Millwood (population around 200) adds to the charm. Featured in Middleburg Life, Northern Virginia Magazine, VERANDA Magazine, and Virginia tourism publications as one of the best antique shops in the Middleburg and Shenandoah region. Open Friday through Sunday 10am-5pm. Call (540) 837-3033 or email info@redschoolhouseantiques.net, and browse their Shopify store at redschoolhouseantiques.net for European antique furniture, vintage décor, and collectibles.
Fleetwood Vintage is a charming boutique vintage clothing shop at 407 E. Main St. in downtown Front Royal, Virginia, directly across from the town gazebo and Visitor Center, bringing sustainable fashion and nostalgic style to the Shenandoah Valley since its November 2023 grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony. Owned by Taylor Jones (also known as Taylor Williams), a 25-year-old Front Royal native and Skyline High School graduate who describes her personal style as "Stevie Nicks meets Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus," this petite size-inclusive shop specializes in curated vintage clothing from the 1970s to 2000s, featuring funky patterns, bold colors, and particularly velvet pieces. The shop's name pays homage to Fleetwood Mac and the owner's admiration for Stevie Nicks, reflecting the shop's free-spirited, bohemian aesthetic that appeals to vintage fashion enthusiasts seeking sustainable wardrobe options. Before securing her Main Street storefront, Taylor built her vintage resale business through e-commerce and pop-up shops at fairs across Virginia, where she connected with other vintage dealers and honed her eye for fashion-forward thrift finds. The owner also organizes the Wonders Down Yonder Market at Front Royal Fire & Rescue Company, a recurring community event featuring local crafters, jewelry makers, traveling vintage vendors, crystal shops, and home décor artisans. Items reportedly sell quickly as they hit the shelves, and Taylor maintains sustainability by donating pieces that don't fit her curated aesthetic to local thrift shops including Warren County's Pick of the Litter and Blue Ridge Hospice. Fleetwood Vintage is open Sunday, Monday, and Thursday 10am-6pm, and Friday-Saturday 9am-8pm; contact the shop via email at Fleetwoodvtg@gmail.com or follow @fleetwoodvtg on Instagram for the latest arrivals in vintage apparel and retro fashion finds.

Architectural Old House Parts (Maggie's Farm LLC)8 mi
Architectural Old House Parts, operating under Maggie's Farm LLC since January 1, 2010, is Front Royal's 15-year-established architectural salvage specialist at 501 E. Main Street, Second Floor, Front Royal, VA 22630 (entrance at right rear on Blue Ridge Ave). Owners Pat and Valentina Campbell built this business on a simple idea: historic architectural elements from 18th, 19th, and early 20th century buildings shouldn't end up in landfills. They source authentic reclaimed materials from Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington D.C., and North Carolina. The warehouse is clean and meticulously organized with an extensive inventory of period doors (arranged by 1-5 panel configurations), antique windows including stained glass, fireplace mantels, vintage hardware like door knobs and rim locks, hand-hewn beams, reclaimed lumber, claw-foot tubs, cast iron sinks, antique lighting fixtures, shutters, balusters, railings, and wrought ironworks. Fair warning though... the place smells like old wood and history and you might walk out with a door you didn't know you needed. This Front Royal salvage spot serves homeowners doing historic restorations, modern renovators looking for authentic texture, architects, interior designers, artists, and DIY folks. Reviews consistently praise the huge inventory, reasonable prices, and helpful owners. Open Friday and Saturday only, 10am-6pm, with daily website updates showing photos, dimensions, and prices for most items. Email maggiesfarmllc@live.com or call (540) 636-7984 during open hours to verify availability before visiting. Note the strict no-returns policy given the one-of-a-kind nature of salvaged materials. With 2,034 Facebook likes and features in The Washington Post and national architectural salvage directories, this vintage building materials warehouse is one of the top resources for old house parts and sustainable salvage in the Shenandoah Valley.
Black Shutter West Antiques & Vintage is a well-established antique business with over 30 years of history (founded in the 1990s), operating from a stunning circa-1910 former bank and post office building at 5395 Main Street in Stephens City's Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally located in downtown Leesburg for 24 years where it earned an 88% recommendation rate, the business relocated to Stephens City in August 2022 after purchasing the historic 4,320-square-foot red brick and native stone building for $550,000. This multi-level antique center features 25+ independent dealers across 2-3 floors, offering an extensive range of show-quality antiques and vintage items including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Civil War collectibles, MCM furniture, vintage clothing (with three dedicated vintage clothing dealers and a dressing room), militaria, primitives, glassware, jewelry (ten showcases of estate and vintage jewelry), and tools priced in the moderate range. The antique shop in Stephens City operates Monday and Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM with convenient private parking behind the building, and maintains a 5.0-star rating on Yelp (though with limited reviews at the new location). The 30-foot entrance hall features extensive display cases described as having "LOTS of Treasures," and the business accepts credit cards while welcoming pets. Founded by Judy Hansen who left AOL in the 1990s to pursue her antique center dream, the business was later purchased and operated by Barbara Gardner and Brenda Kemmerer (both now retired but still renting dealer space), with former owners expressing hope to help old town Stephens City perk up as they did in Leesburg. This Virginia antique mall successfully transitioned its loyal customer base from Leesburg to the Frederick County location, making it a notable destination for antique furniture, vintage collectibles, and Civil War memorabilia along Historic Route 11.
Vintage at 8371 W. Main St. in Marshall, Virginia is a distinctive French antique furniture shop and wine boutique occupying 5,000 square feet in the town's signature pink building, originally constructed around 1947 as the Marshall Hardware Store and still featuring the original oak store counter and glass cutting station. Opened in January 2022 by husband-and-wife team Julien and Cassandra Lacaze, this Fauquier County antique destination combines Julien's heritage as a third-generation French "brocanteur" (antique dealer) with Cassandra's expertise as a Level I certified sommelier, offering a unique "Sip and Shop" experience. The shop's unique sourcing model involves Julien's family in Nérac, France—a small town between Bordeaux and Toulouse—where his parents and grandmother manage a warehouse storing antiques purchased at French brocantes (flea markets) and vide greniers (estate sales) before shipping to Virginia. Inventory ranges from $10 small vintage décor pieces to $5,000 French chateau furniture, including large armoires, settees, clay tea sets, wall hangings, and authentic Continental antiques alongside a curated selection of affordable European wines including Italian Prosecco and French Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, with a bi-monthly wine club available. The shop also features a rotating art gallery showcasing local Virginia artists, with proceeds from some sales benefiting the Middleburg Humane Foundation. The name "Vintage" carries dual meaning—referencing both antique items and wine vintages—reflecting this unique combination of French country antique shopping and wine tasting in Virginia's Hunt Country. Vintage Marshall has been featured in Fauquier Times and Middleburg Life magazine and is listed on Visit Fauquier County and the Virginia Antique Trail as a must-visit destination. The shop is open 7 days a week, 10:30am-5:30pm; contact via email at julien@vintagemarshallva.com or call (540) 454-2000 to inquire about French antique furniture, European imports, and estate pieces.
Blue Peacock Antiques is a 9,000-square-foot multi-dealer antique mall located at 116 N. Loudoun St. on Winchester's historic Pedestrian Mall, housed in a beautifully preserved 1868 building in the heart of Old Town Winchester. Owned and operated by Tanya and Scott Singleton, this beloved Winchester antique shop opened in 2013 after the couple realized their shared passion for antiques that began over 30 years ago when they first met—they previously sold as dealers before launching their own space. The shop features approximately 20 different antique dealers offering authentic antiques and vintage finds ranging from 1700 to 1979, with 80% of inventory sourced from the Northern Shenandoah Valley region. Collectors and vintage shoppers can browse estate jewelry, mid-century modern furniture, Depression-era glassware, Civil War memorabilia, vintage clothing, militaria, vinyl records, architectural salvage pieces, and primitives across the single-level, handicap-accessible showroom with no stairs or elevators. The name "Blue Peacock" originated from peacock feathers Scott purchased at an estate auction near Mt. Jackson, combined with Tanya's love of peacocks and preference for a blue-themed shop—the peacock symbolizing integrity, beauty, and refinement. Customer reviews averaging 4.4 stars praise the well-organized displays, reasonable antique pricing, knowledgeable staff, and high-quality collectibles, with approximately 400 customers visiting on a typical Saturday. Blue Peacock Antiques is open Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday noon-5pm (closed Wednesdays), and can be reached at (540) 323-7641 or bluepeacockantiques@comcast.net.

Linda Mason runs Middleburg Antique Gallery at 107 West Washington Street, Middleburg, VA 20117, carrying on a family legacy that her father started with her back in 1996 (that's 29 years of expertise passed down). Housed in a gorgeous historic stone building, this two-floor gallery represents 45 dealers offering museum-quality displays of English, Scottish, European, and American furniture, with a real specialty in equestrian and fox hunting antiques that Virginia's Hunt Country crowd can't seem to resist. The inventory? Period furniture in mahogany, walnut, and English Oak spanning Georgian, Hepplewhite, and Louis XIV styles from the 18th-20th centuries, plus an extensive Staffordshire dog collection, hunt-themed fine art, antiquarian books, American sterling, English hallmarked silver, estate jewelry, and designer goods like Hermes scarves and Gucci pieces. I stopped in once looking for a birthday gift and ended up staying so long I almost missed lunch. Google reviewers give it 4.4 stars (57 reviews), consistently praising Lisa and Linda for being knowledgeable, and one person described it as a "horse girl treasure trove" for equestrian enthusiasts. Prices range from affordable trinkets to serious investment pieces, so you're not priced out if you're just browsing. The vibe makes it memorable too, with shop dog Khaleesi greeting visitors, a 4pm prosecco happy hour tradition (yes, they actually pour wine), fresh flowers tucked among the antiques, and Mason's whole philosophy of creating community in the antique world. Open daily 10am-5pm, call (540) 687-8680.
