Which Antiques are Hot in Maine

I was thinking today about which antiques are really selling in Maine, and started making a list. Then, I thought about what's not selling, and made a list of those antiques too.

Above on the left is a half hull ship's model, about 14 inches long and mounted on board, which is in a local antiques shop and priced at $595. The Lion and Lamb hooked rug was mounted and hanging in another local shop, priced at $1350.

Here goes:

Antiques Which are Selling

• Hooked Rugs, late 19th and early 20th century - especially anything with animals, people, scenic, ships
• Silhouettes from the mid-1800s
• Weathervanes
  
• Country furniture in old paint, 19th century
• Marine anything - half hulls mounted on boards, also paintings and other artwork, rugs, etc. Around here, if it's a ships' theme, it's probably going to sell.
• Vintage lighting from the 1920s and 1930s
• Garden antiques
• Folk art, particularly one-of-a-kind items which are interesting and colorful
• Fireplace tools and accessories from the 19th c
• Early baskets
  
• Large wood country bowls, and if they have old paint on them, even better
• Vintage leather furniture
  

Slow Selling Antiques

• Quilts in common patterns, especially those from the Depression era
  
• Oriental Rugs
• Silverplate tablewares
  
• 19th century glass
• Samplers, particularly really late 19th c or early 20th c
  
• 19th c. brown furniture
• Vintage clothing from just about any era
• Duck decoys
  

This may not reflect what's selling in your neighborhood, but these are the things that are either hot or very cold in my area.
