Gull Cottage Antiques, LLC

Gull Cottage Antiques, LLC Our specialty is American Country Furniture & Accessories 1750-1900 I have been an avid collector since my first antiques purchase at age 12.
(1)

I have a museum curator background that has served me well in this career for 40 + years and counting. I have always believed that one does not simply purchase an item but that we also purchase a slice of American history along with each piece. With this in mind I always try to share with the buyer any background information about your purchase. That is what makes collecting so very fascinating to

me. My husband and I specialize in colonial, country and primitive antiques. We offer furniture in original finish, original paint as well as refinished. I do not sell anything I would not accept into my own home. In fact, some pieces are right out of my home! We shop back east, down south, in the mid-west for early country items. HOURS OF OPERATION:

Our seasonal business opens mid-April (Early March if weather permits) through mid-November culminating in our Annual Christmas Open House Sale! April & May hours are weekends from 10-5.
~June through Labor Day we continue our weekend schedule plus most Wed.- Fridays from noon to 5 p.m - by chance. You can always look for me in the gardens. Stop by sometime and drink in our view of the sparkling waters of Lake Huron! We would love to meet you.

Though the air is still warm (some might say "muggy"), it won't be long before the crisp air returns, the pumpkins ripen in the fields and the leaves turn glorious colors and begin to fall. Offered here is a hand-hooked wool rung executed in the traditional manner of all rugs in the late 1700-1920's using 1/4 inch strips of wool hooked onto a burlap base. The sentiment is clear, the colors warm and muted and in perfect condition for your wall or floor.
Open Friday - Sat. - Sun. - 11 am to 5 pm. Come up to the Thumb and explore all of our shops - both antiques shops as well as the wonderful gift shops we offer. Looking forward to meeting you!

Ahoy Matey! Looking for a dandy ships wheel for your sailboat? Or perhaps to hang above a fireplace or out on the deck? I have a terrific vintage wheel just for you that is in wonderful condition. I will post dimensions soon. This graced a huge sailboat that plied Lake Michigan waters for many years. Not to be missed!

I have had some questions regarding the availability of this oak dresser. Just to clarify: the red on the dresser tag is a ribbon -- not a SOLD tag! This item is still available. Terrific piece!

Looking for a nice wooden butter bowl? I have three terrific bowls, all with a nice lip on the top edge and great patina. None are cracked. Our newest addition measures 11 to 11 1/4 inches wide due to it being a bit "out of round". That is a very good thing, showing appropriate age and use. Our bowls range in price from $28.00 to $75.00. Come on up and take a peek!
Open Friday - Sat. - Sun. from 11 am to 5 pm. Hope to see you!

Looking for a little bench where you can sit and put your shoes on? I have just the piece for you. This one even has a little shelf underneath the seat. It measures 36"W x 13 1/2"D x 19"H. This would make a cute little coffee or side table also! Do not take too long. These little pieces do not last long in our shop.

Open Sunday: 11 am to 5 pm. Come up to the Thumb and explore! Our shops are open and waiting.

Just found - a good usable 12 - hole candle mold. Has a lovely pewter-y color patina. This one stands on its' own base for ease in filling with molten wax. Priced at $75.00.
The lake is visible once again - no smoke from the wildfires anywhere. Just clear sparkling water awaits. Hope to see you!

We went on a little buying spree this past week and had a wonderful time finding some treasures. Here is just one: this early to mid 1800's wooden box features strap hinges on the inside of the lid that are simply wonderful! The exterior detail of the wood trim is such a nice unique feature as well. Notice how the two applied boards (top and bottom) curve to a modified point. Sits atop black bun feet. Measures 34 1/2" W x 16 3/4D x 17 1/2"H. Don't miss this one!
