Hadley Antiques

Profile

Shoppers inordinately fond of shiny things will find themselves happily overwhelmed by the silver, glass and brass at Hadley Antiques. The tiny�about 300 square feet�shop sells mostly English and some French pieces from the first part of the 20th century, including English barware from the 1920s to 1940s that entices with Art Deco cut-glass, sterling and silver-plate trays, cocktail shakers, stir sticks, ice buckets, tumblers and other drink-related miscellany. Hadley also sells intricately crafted Victorian brass desk accessories like letter racks and magnifying glasses, and figurative mantel accessories in animal and human forms, along with a wealth of Victorian bamboo and early painted furniture pieces, from small occasional tables and stools to larger cabinets and displays shelves and an idiosyncratic, charming selection of vintage lighting. — Andrew Sessa
