Luckett's Antiques near Leesburg

So anyone who knows me knows that my #1 favorite antique shop is Luckett's - just outside of Leesburg, VA. A bunch of my girlfriends and family love this shop too. Anytime one of us sees a cute antique item in each other's homes... the question always asked is, "did you find that at Lucketts?" Chances are, they probably did.

Without fail, whenever I visit, I cannot leave without finding something interesting or beautiful to bring home with me. Dressers, mantles, chairs, rod iron garden furniture, wicker, old frames, hardware, old signs, beds, and so much more. The fine ladies that run this shop, as well as the 20+ antique dealers which supply the wares, have uncovered some of the neatest pieces in their travels. Some need a little TLC, and other pieces they have restored beautifully. And their prices are extremely fair, I must say... being the bargain hunter that I am.


My favorite time to visit is in the fall when they regularly put out hot apple cider... I can't think of a more pleasant way to spend a crisp October saturday. Lucky for me, John loves to visit Luckett's too. He found a cool old ladder one time - something that he had wanted for awhile. Of course it was the first thing he spotted when we drove up. Last summer, when our dog was a young pup and I couldn't leave him for more than a few hours, I just brought him with me to walk around the exterior.

I love Luckett's and I agree, prices are so reasonable. Take along your checkbook and you will be given a small discount rather than using a credit card. The Fair was last weekend; I had to miss.

Cheers, TorW

Love Luckett's and the store across the street from them. We went a couple of years ago and got so much stuff, we looked like the Bev Hillbillies on the way home.

yes, you are so right about the checkbook discount - I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder. Sadly, I missed the fair as well!
And, fairfax, i hear you on the B.H. reference - our car has been strapped down on several occasions - too funny.

I love the glass globes with the fleur de lys! Do they ship?

RowHouse said...

Unfornately, they don't ship. But if you're ever in the DC area... so worth a stop!

Thanks for the tip! We'll definitely need to make a detour to there next time we're visiting friends in the area!

If you like Lucketts, check out this new store called Newberry's, just 10 miles up the road in brunswick Maryland! You'll love it too! Awesome industrial space with killer stuff from about 10 savvy dealers. Great prices!
