A Soulful Home

A house furnished all at once, no matter how good the taste behind it, reads like a hotel. Comfortable, correct, forgettable by the second visit. A house that arrived at itself slowly,  one piece found along the 'Pike, one inherited, one that just refused to leave once it got there, reads like a person. The difference isn't visible in any single object.

It's in the gaps between them, the years a room took to fill in.

Nothing here was made for gifting. That's the point.

Why a vintage gift lands differently

There is one

Not one style. One. Whatever you send, nobody else can send the same thing, not to them, not to anyone.

It already lasted

A brass bowl from 1940 has proven what it can survive. It outlived the person who bought it. It will outlive this occasion too.

It has a before

Someone chose it once and kept it. You're not the first person to think it was worth having, and you won't be the last.

Testimonials

What a wonderful shopping experience from start to finish! Everything I purchased was absolutely beautiful and exactly as described and pictured on the website. I couldn’t be happier with my purchases! What truly made this experience stand out was the exceptional customer service. The owner was kind enough to personally deliver my items while traveling through my area. Since some of the pieces were fragile, I especially appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness. Such a lovely gesture and certainly above and beyond what one would normally expect! I’ve already found the perfect places for everything in my home and have included a few photos to show how beautifully the pieces fit into my decor. The large brass rocking horse completed the set perfectly and is such a beautiful finishing touch. I highly recommend Tallmadge Vintage Art & Furnishings and will absolutely be shopping here again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Five stars aren’t enough! Talmadge Ave Vintage is absolutely incredible—beautiful antiques, the kindest owners, and truly unmatched service. They included the sweetest handwritten note, surprised me with a very special gift, and personally drove my purchases into NYC for door-to-door delivery. Above and beyond in every possible way!
