The name Capitol Salvage came from one of my former jobs - I worked in the Connecticut State Capitol building - currently my day job is as a teacher (7th grade social studies!)
For anyone who has been to or seen the state capitol building in Hartford knows what an architectural gem it is - sitting in that building for twelve years I always marveled at the amazing victorian design and detail - and without a doubt that appreciation of architecture led me to do something I trully love - looking for victorian architectural salvage items.
Since starting to sell as a 'serious' business, Capitol Salvage has exhibited at the following antique shows and flea markets:
Brimfield, MA - NE Motel - booth #1 & 2
Maine Antique festival - Union, ME
Glastonbury Antique show (Jan. & August)
Farmington Antiques festival - Farmington, CT
Elephant's Trunk - New Milford, CT
Lebanon Green - Lebanon, CT
Rhinebeck Antiques festival - Rhinebeck, NY
I am continuing to look for good quality exhibits -
We have also developed and designed our own personal web page - check us out at:

We recently rented a booth space at
www.gurleyantiquesgallery.com
in Yarmouth Maine. Rachel has a great set up there and the shop is true to the word antiques, no reproduction or collectible junk. Real vintage, quality items. Make sure you tell her you saw this on e-Bay!
We store our inventory in a post & beam constructed barn - and have ALL of our inventory stored at one address (finally!) - if interested in visiting - please contact us!
We are always looking for good quality merchandise - if you know of a friend or have salvage yourself - we are always interested, send us pictures.
PAST customers - Thanks for making the first six years of Capitol Salvage such a success and for new customers - let us help you decorate, remodel or find that special piece for you.
~HAPPY HUNTING~ |
