Bottle Shops Antiques is a cool, no-frills antique shop and one of the favorite places for vintage shopping and treasure hunting. It is a wonderful labyrinth and a massive collection, described as having more things in one place than ever seen before. It is a blast from the past, a beautiful time capsule, and a time travel experience that triggers nostalgia and inspires creativity.
The shop is filled with smallish salvaged oddities and incredible items, including old and vintage colored bottles, brass drawer handles, cast iron pans, vintage tin boxes, tools, plate sets, and lamps. The owner is incredibly kind, helpful, and very friendly, offering great deals and great prices that are not expensive, not overpriced, and not scammy. Items often lack price tags due to the large collection, embracing the nature of the hunt. Part of the experience is to enjoy the hunt, dig around, and search for hidden treasures while seeing things never seen before, all within an atmosphere of orderly chaos.
It is definitely an experience for the senses and a wabi sabi treasure hunting journey where you can easily spend an afternoon or a day. It is a must-go-to place in the area, and visitors will definitely be back.
Kevin is a hoot. Friendly and a guy with as much character as the shop he runs. Worthy of a stop on any antique hunt thru Dutchess County.
