Rhinebeck New York, located in Dutchess County in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley has some wonderful antique shops. 
Whether you are looking for fine English antiques, artwork, collectibles, vintage jewelry, pottery, porcelain or any other item prized by collectors you can find it in the antique shops of Rhinebeck, NY.
It was a beautiful day today in Rhinebeck so my husband and I took a stroll through all of the great shops.  We are collectors of artwork, porcelain and carnival glass. We had an enjoyable time as we strolled through town and spoke to all of the friendly shop owners and searched for new treasures for our collections.

The Beekman Arms Antique Market is located in a red barn directly behind the Beekman Arms Inn.  The Inn is reputed to be the oldest continuously run inn in America.  The Beekman Arms Antique Market is a group shop with everything a collector could want.  They have furniture, glass, pottery, art work, textiles, and jewelry along with pretty much everything else.  The shop is open 7 days a week from 11AM - 5PM.  They can be reached at (845) 876-3477.

Across ...
... the street from the Beekman Arms is Asher House Antiques.  This beautifully done shop specializes in English antique furniture.   Fresh merchandise arrives from England on a regular basis. In addition to fine furniture, porcelain, sterling and assorted antique items, they have beautiful accessories - both old and new - for your home. The shop also carries a beautiful line of reproduction furniture. The shop is open 7 days a week from 10 AM - 5:30 PM.  They can be contacted at (845) 876-1794.

On the corner of Route 9 and West Market street is the Rhinebeck Antiques & Artisans.  This is a showcase shop with about 40 cases of wonderful small antique items.  When I was in the shop this week I saw an impressive collection of Roseville and American Beleek on display. There is fresh merchandise almost daily. Loman Eng, one of the owners is also an artist.  Loman paints wonderful landscapes and these are available for purchase also. The center is open Thursday through Monday from 10:30 AM - 5:30 PM.  The phone number at the center is (845) 876-5555.                 

Right next door to the Rhinebeck Antique and Artisans is The Portly Pug.  This is a small, cozy shop filled with wonderful treasures of all kinds. The Portly Pug is named after Picabo, Myron's (the  proprietor's) pet. There is a wonderful collection of dog related antiques, a selection of beautiful tea caddies and fine antique furniture just to name a few things.  The shop is generally open Friday through Mondays from about 11 AM - 5 PM.  It is a good idea to call ahead as the hours vary.  They can reached at (845) 876-6896.

All the shops are just a few steps away from each other but each one has its own unique charm.  Come spend a morning or afternoon browsing the antique shops in Rhinebeck...you never know what treasure you might find!

Happy Hunting!
