Mapleton Antiques

My mom loved history and antiques and taught her kids to recognize and appreciate craftsmanship of the old kind. Vacations became antique searches extending across the U.S. and, much later, across the pond to the U.K. I have been an eclectic antique-er, leaning towards folk art, but often finding treasures in other art forms. I became interested in the Shaker communities and their mission to produce all goods for their own use and also to sell outside of the community to support themselves. This began a serious collection over the years (as funds allowed) part of which is offered here. Please note that shipping costs will be added to every item...kept to actual and reasonable costs. Please ask questions or request additional photos to avoid disappointment and returns. And may you enjoy collecting "treasures" as much as t have.
