May is in Bloom with New Inventory at the Royal Port Antiques!

Wow!  Where did April go?  It was a busy month for us.  As usual we are always adding new and unusual things to the shop.  I have been adding quick albums to our facebook site when new things arrive.  Make sure to check it out from time to time.  It is a more casual way to keep in touch with our customers.  We have gotten in a lot of great smalls as well as furniture to the shop.  We are always looking for stoneware.  This bristol glazed 2 gallon vendor's jug is beautiful and a nice addition to our stoneware inventory.  The nicely done blue script reads Frank House, Newton, NJ.   It is in good condition.   Another great piece to the shop is this early work bench.  I know it would be a great addition to any woodworkers workshop but it would make a great sideboard as well as a great center island.  It has a beautiful top that sits nicely on the chunky frame.  The table exhibits nice dovetailing details in its construction. I had fun decking it out with some of our newer smalls inventory including the nice grouping of blue striped yellow ware and the early store jar.  I added a lot of new setups throughout the shop.  I love this early house model along with the early stoneware pitcher and a great stack of pantry boxes.
I also love this primitive grouping with an early farm gate, wire screen and great grouping of old salt and grain bags.  We acquired a nice grouping of old printed grain/feed bags.  Some of the bags were used for pillowcases.  I have some on display on the old rope beds in the shop.  The early farmers used whatever fabrics that were available including the feed bag fabric.  And for those looking for summertime vintage pieces we have several outdoor chairs, planters and gates.  We also have plenty of early panel doors, barn doors and windows of all sizes for all those restoration and decorating projects.  This is just a small sampling of the new inventory.  I added 70 photos to the April/May Photo Album for your viewing.  The album is full of great early country smalls including some great treenware and several great quilts and quilt tops.  Enjoy looking through the album.  Always feel free to call or email if you have any questions.  Happy Mother's Day!  Suzanne
