Southern Living Magazine ranked Alexandria as the best “town” in Virginia for antiquing, Zebra reported.
Just ahead of Altavista and Bristol, Southern Living Magazine said Alexandria’s one of the best spots for perusing vintage wares.
According to the ranking:
Located just 20 minutes below Washington, D.C., Alexandria has all the benefits of urban life combined with quaint neighborhoods filled with lovely brownstones and walkable streets. It also happens to be a haven for antique shoppers, especially if there’s a specific need on the list.
To add vintage barware to your collection, head to The Hour, which has unique glassware, decanters, and shakers. Whether you need to adorn yourself or your dining room, The Antique Guild is ready with its stock of jewelry and silver tableware. For a healthy selection of quality European goods, stop into Van Bommel Antiek Haus or just roam the Old Town area, where you can stumble upon boutiques brimming with fine antiques.
