Blackbird Antiques, a family-run boutique selling a wide range of unusual antiques and vintage objects, is slated to open in late April or early May at 19 Belvidere St. in Nazareth, co-owner Abby Bachstein said.
The business is a family operation, with the Bachstein family. The Bachstein family has passed down a trait of hunting down and collecting unique antiques through generations.
The family's huge personal collection of antiques has been collected over decades via auctions, estate sales and other antique businesses.
Blackbird Antiques will feature a wide assortment of antiques and vintage pieces, including furniture such as chairs and coffee tables; artwork such as paintings and sculptures; tableware such as glasses and mugs; and various decorative and functional items such as lamps, pottery, cut glass, pressed glass, duck decoys and record players.
There also will be a small range of vintage apparel and fashion accessories such as jewelry and hats. Blackbird Antiques, whose name was partially inspired by the Bachsteins' affection for legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe and one of his iconic works, "The Raven," will occupy a soon-to-be-updated facility that was formerly home to a thrift shop.
The family is intending to add new wall paint and other cosmetic touches to the home.
The Bachsteins are pleased to join Nazareth's lively business landscape, which includes neighboring retail businesses such as The Hive, a market featuring hand-crafted items from more than 130 Lehigh Valley area exhibitors.
