Marblehead Antiques
About
Marblehead Antiques is an antiques and collectibles shop in historic Marblehead with two spacious rooms packed with glassware, jewelry, porcelain, paintings, screens, chairs, tables, vintage hats, purses and clothing. The owners take a relaxed approach: they do not hover or push anyone to buy, and visitors often settle in for an hour or so to browse and chat. New arrivals come in frequently, so the stock changes from visit to visit.
Mother and daughter Beverly and Harriet Norman opened the shop in 1975, modeling it on New York’s Algonquin Round Table as a place where locals and visitors could sit, relax and browse a good collection. Customers can buy, sell or consign, and the shop’s list of specialties runs from private collections and estate sales to furniture, fine art, silver, nautical items, decoys, weathervanes and designer handbags from Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Goyard.
