“We are a cadre of antique and history lovers who love to see the flow of antiques in and out of our store. Whether we buy, sell, or consign we are always interested in the history, reminiscing and stories that come with each item,” says Antique Attic owner Lynn Highland and she means it. Working with antiques and the people who love them brings history to life.
Antique Attic was founded by a few stalwart dealers who were refugees from the now-closed Rockin’ Horse Antiques, which had been a beloved antique and collectibles store on main-street Golden. “We called our time at Rockin’ Horse, ‘Camelot’ – we had endless tourists, students, and townspeople traipsing through on a regular basis, and as a result, a really profitable enterprise and a very special one!
“When we closed in 2022, it was the end of Camelot – Poof!! An investment company bought our building and raised the rent to astronomical heights. All of us dispersed in different directions hoping to find a Camelot of our own,” Lynn continued.
Three years later some of them found an opportunity to open their own store – much smaller than the antique malls in the area, without the grandeur of Camelot, but very compact and manageable – and best of all, a sales tax of 5%.
Antique Attic is owned by two people, one a retired Geographer, and veteran of buying and selling antiques, the other a person who knows the inside-out of wiring, carpentry, interior design, and has a budding interest in antiques.
“We are small but mighty! We have a wide variety of genuine antiques and vintage items together with popular and rare collectibles,” Lynn concludes.
