Tables + Chairs

Eighteen feet, four inches...the combined length of these two long, beautiful tables.

Perhaps there is some truth in the standing joke my husband makes about my buying habits: I always seem to find the biggest, heaviest pieces that require a truck and a lot of muscle to move! 









At least I have plenty of comfortable (and beautiful!) chairs to rest in once the big pieces have been moved!

Summertime at Old Glory!

Summer has arrived at Old Glory Antiques with a burst of red, white and blue! From painted cupboards to vintage bunting to bouquets of American flags, the colors of the season can be found throughout our shop. Antique grain sacks repurposed into beautiful pillows mix with rugs and pillows sporting stars and stripes, and bright blue tin sap cans make a colorful container for red geraniums. Here are a few of our favorite photos of Summer at Old Glory!

Grain Sack Chairs are Here!


We are excited to announce the arrival of the newest collection from FRAGMENTS (learn more about Fragments here): beautiful reclaimed chair frames upholstered in 120 year-old grain sacks!



These authentic, durable sacks are composed of hemp and linen, and each one is truly unique.  Hand-woven over a century ago to haul agrarian goods across Europe, each sack features a distinctive stripe that was used to exclusively identify the sack’s owner, so each one has its own special character. In recent times, they have become increasingly popular in home décor and upholstery projects, and FRAGMENTS has repurposed them into a beautiful line of chairs.




There are 10 chairs in the collection, each with its own unique history and charm...no two pieces are alike. You will find in this collection all of the elements you have come to expect from FRAGMENTS: outstanding craftsmanship, made entirely in America, repurposed with that hip, fresh look!
