Meet Angie Conrad:
A Love for Victorian Elegance and Beautiful Old Things
If you are drawn to delicate textiles, Victorian clothing, and antiques with a little frill and a lot of charm, be sure to visit Angie Conrad at the Lawrence Antique & Vintage Show this November. With more than 35 years in the antique business, Angie brings a longtime love of collecting and an inviting assortment of beautiful, intriguing finds.
Angie's interest in Antiques
Angie’s interest in antiques began with her family. Her mother and father collected, introducing her to the pleasure of discovering old things and appreciating what makes them special. Their enthusiasm sparked her own curiosity—and, as Angie puts it, that is how she “got the bug.” What began as a family influence grew into a business that has been part of her life for more than three decades.
How a lifelong interest starts
That connection makes Angie’s story one that many collectors will recognize. Sometimes a lifelong interest starts with something a parent brings home, a collection displayed in a cabinet, or the excitement of finding an unexpected treasure together. For Angie, her parents’ collecting opened the door to a world she would continue exploring for years.
Victoria-era clothing
Her specialties are Victorian-era clothing and textiles, along with “anything frilly and pretty.” It is a description that gives shoppers a wonderful introduction to her interests. If your eye goes straight to decorative details, lovely fabrics, and the elegance of another era, Angie’s offerings deserve a closer look.
Antique Clothes and Textiles
Antique clothing and textiles invite us to consider the people who once wore, used, and cared for them. A garment can prompt questions about a special occasion or everyday life, while an old textile can encourage a closer appreciation of its design and workmanship. These pieces offer collectors something personal: a connection to the past through objects that were part of someone’s home or wardrobe.
Although Victorian clothing and textiles are her specialties, Angie’s selection reaches well beyond them. She also offers art, jewelry, books, quilts, linens, and unusual items. That variety makes her booth appealing to shoppers with different interests, whether they collect a particular category or simply enjoy discovering something they have never seen before.
The Pleasure of Shopping
Perhaps you will be drawn to a piece of art, a book to browse, or jewelry that suits your personal style. Quilts and linens may catch the attention of textile lovers, while an unusual offering might become the find you remember most. Part of the pleasure of shopping an antique show is giving yourself time to look closely and letting an unexpected object capture your interest.
Angie also welcomes shoppers who have something specific in mind. Her message is simple: “If you are looking for it… I can help you find it!” If you have been searching for a particular piece, stop by and tell her about it. A conversation with a longtime dealer can be a rewarding part of the hunt.
