Online Vintage Shopping at VandM

I've confessed before that I am a total 1stDibs junkie. I can spend hours plowing through the never-ending inventory of art and antiques. The main downside to this activity is that a good majority of the items sold on 1stDibs don't fit into most budgets that I work with (and certainly not my own). Well I'm happy to report that there is a somewhat similar site called Vintage + Modern, or VandM, that offers a compelling array of antique, vintage, and contemporary furnishings at a lower average price point.

Through a network of global dealers, VandM offers a huge inventory of furniture and lighting, accessories and accents, artwork, jewelry, and textiles. They also have Design Atelier and inTheMoment sales events that only run for a limited time and feature some kind of special product offering. For instance, a sale featuring Lori Dennis' bespoke collection of furnishings is going on now and there is also a sale offering prints from Stanley Kubrick's photography oeuvre.

VandM is a big world to discover and I've really only spent time looking through the decor inventory so far. There is some really fabulous merch and it's a great resource. Here are some of my favorite finds from their coffers...

Vintage abstract painting - Walking Away On The Streets of New York Limited Edition Photograph By Director Stanley Kubrick from 1946 for Look Magazine - Venetian Chandelier - Black and White Vintage Sofa - French Stripe Bench - Vintage French Marble and Brass Table

Vietnamese Ceramic Dragon Urns - Literary Classics in Blue - Opaline Glass Lamp - Regency round side table - Chinese chippendale style armchair - Malachite Composite Bookends - Lori Dennis Kaye Side Table - Wingback Chair - Gabbeh Loribaft Turkish Carpet - Blue and Silver Leaf Faux Bamboo Cabinet

I also am lusting over this killer French chandelier made of ormolu and crystal from fav dealer House of Honey...

So, have you explored Vintage + Modern yet? Their inventory includes a wide variety of styles, pedigrees, and price points so browsing is time consuming, but luckily their search function works pretty well if you're on a specific mission.
