While nothing could ever rival the real-deal thrill of braking for an antique or vintage score at a roadside market or a neighborhood estate sale, there are plenty of hidden gems on the internet that are ripe for the clickin’ when you can’t go pickin’. It’s also easier than ever to peruse wares you’d otherwise never know existed, because everyone from traditional antiques dealers to casual collectors have gotten a whole lot savvier about selling their stuff online—some via websites, others straight through their social feeds (Instagram, mostly). Because you likely already know about the biggies—think Chairish, 1stDibs, RubyLane, eBay, and Etsy*—we’ve rounded up 100-plus lesser-known purveyors of patina that Country Living editors have bought from and bookmarked, all of whom make it relatively easy to shop their wares remotely (regularly updated inventory, streamlined shipping, fast feedback, etc.). Here, some of our favorite virtual must-visits for when the antiquing itch strikes. (And when doesn’t it, really?)
