I'm Just Sayin'...
If you are in the market for lighting, why not consider vintage. Why buy a reproduction when you can get the real thing, usually for the same investment, sometimes even less. Your electrician can install an antique chandelier as easily as a new one. A few of our many fabulous lighting options are below.

Furniture Mart
Clearly I am biased to antiques. But I have to tell you, if you are in the market for a piece of furniture, I highly suggest checking out an antique shop as a first option. You are guaranteed excellent quality, classic and unique design and a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your needs. They don't say "they don't make them like they used too" for nothing!
Shabby chic anyone? This would be a great side table, nightstand or desk. It is all in the eye of the beholder. We recently had a savvy customer who bought an awesome old trunk to use as a stool for her kids computer desk. She was going to store all their computer stuff in the trunk. Clever!

Linen Closet
Gorgeous soft chenille bedspreads, insanely cool colorful quilts and brightly colored retro aprons are just a few of the linens found at Wexford Antiques. Some are in mint condition and perfect for daily use. Others may be best suited for your next sewing project. Whichever it is they are statement ready!
If you have a cook in your family I can assure you that she (maybe he) would love one of these aprons! Pair it with a great cookbook and you have the perfect and most thoughtful gift.
This chenille pillow is a perfect example of salvaging the best of an old bedspread. In addition you can feel good about yourself for going green!

Unique Antiques
There are so many things to love about antiques. One in particular is knowing you are finding something that is very unique and not mass produced. They are pieces of interest that add character to collections and say something about the collector. I love the whimsical finds that our shop has to offer. I am constantly coming across something new and special!

This metal train is a work of art and is much larger than it appears here. I would love to see this placed a top a hutch in a dining room to add a masculine touch.
I love this Indian bust. Imagine this piece in your "man cave" or maybe placed somewhere unexpected like a front entryway on a Victorian marble top table. The contrast would make a great design statement!

Got Art?

Marianne Marino's passion is painting people. Her paintings portray glimpses of the human experience in luscious, glorious watercolor. Inspired by one of her vintage photos, her imagination catches fire--weaving a story in her mind about the subject while she paints. "In the end, my representational painting, combined with abstracted design elements, tells a story that evokes an emotional response from the viewer--and that's exciting!" Marianne is a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh; Pennsylvania Watercolor Society; Pittsburgh Watercolor Society; Pittsburgh Society of Artists and Group A.
If you haven't already discovered it, antique shops are a wonderful place to find great art. Here at Wexford Antiques we have a wonderful variety of fabulous art. Some current and some not... but definitely something for every taste. The artist of the week featured below, Marianne Marino.

For Your Collection...
I love collecting little pieces I find beautiful and arranging them into interesting and colorful displays. Every time I walk by my china cabinet below I can't help but smile. And I am so thrilled when I find a new piece to add to it!

Below are a couple of wonderful pieces to add to your china cabinet, hutch or other fabulous displays! Vignettes of collections are a wonderful way to paint a picture of your style. Just buy what you love and it will work!

The Thrill of the Hunt
One of the best things about antique shopping is seeing what unique items you may stumble upon. Here at Wexford Antiques we have a fabulous selection of antiquities from whimsical to romantic to traditional. Just take a look!

Paris Apartment
One of the great things about Wexford Antiques is that we have such a wide variety of styles. Take the whole "Paris Apartment" look. Who would expect to find treasures that look like they were purchased in the streets of Paris here in Pittsburgh. Just a few of the many fabulously French treasures you will find are below!
This angelic lamp with fringe is both elegant and classic... you sure won't see anything like this at a traditional lighting store!
A signature leopard print piece is classic french! The leopard print on this chair paired with the detailed carving would make a perfect addition to any living room.
