Welcome to one of Onley Virginia’s large picturesque victorian homes, owned and lived in since the early 1900’s by three generations of one Onley family.
As you enter the home you will first see some nice oriental-style rugs that have adorned the floors for years and may even be original to the first owners. Several pieces of the furniture have their original shipping labels and a date and address from where they were purchased. This will make owning those pieces even more special.
Another wonderful surprise is the collection of antique toys that were found stored in the attic. There are several antique Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty Circus pieces. They were made in Philadelphia in the early 1900’s. As well as the circus there is the most charming horse and wagon. For all you sewing enthusiasts and collectors we have the nicest hand crank American Girl metal sewing machine from the 1920’s with its original box. There are more great antique toys and upstairs you will find a table full of very early games and puzzles. For every little girl’s dream is a beautiful vintage porcelain tea set complete with metal tray and silver service.
An original Lionel train box has an assortment of cars, tracks and accessories that were also found in the attic. The oversize red battery operated/controlled convertible will probably require some work to get it running. The room with the toys upstairs has lots of surprises including a vintage doll complete with 4 heads and clothes and some nice oversized doll furniture. Some super vintage children’s and teen’s books are also available. This is a room that will be a true treasure hunt.
The beautiful dark red velvet carved victorian sofa is all original and is in really lovely condition. We have the original receipt for this beauty and it would fit very nicely in any size victorian home. The carpet in this room is very bright and would be perfect even in the most modern of homes.
The oak hall tree is one of the nicest we have seen in a very long time. All of the original hooks are in place and it is a very nice size for any home.
One of the wonderful surprises is the Mission style bench in the hall way with storage in the seat. What a great place to sit and put on your outside shoes.
There is a very large amount of local strawberry tickets in all sizes from 1 quart to 20 quarts. They are in really nice condition so be sure to come and add to your collection.
In the dining room you will find the square oak table and six chairs that would be perfect as a kitchen unit. The Mission style side board has a shelf and mirror. If you are looking for the perfect dining room table for a small dining room we have the one you need. It is made of black cherry wood and will seat 4 and by adding the three leaves you can seat a nice large group. It has been covered for years and it is in really nice condition.
A carved Mahogany Steiff upright piano also sits in the dining room and is looking for a new home. It will need tuning and has its original ivory keys. The wood is really beautiful and could be taken apart and be used for some great projects. All of the vintage music will go with the piano.
Do not be afraid of moving the very large Armoire because it comes apart so it can be moved easily. There are also several small items of victorian clothes to hang inside.
The other bed room across the hall is also full of Hidden Treasures including the small printing press and a 1940’s Wavelength Zenith
multi-band radio. Not sure of the working condition.
The last bedroom has a really lovely set of of painted furniture including twin beds, dressing table and small wardrobe. The set is the perfect Shabby Chic addition to a quaint little home. Antique hats, a marble top wash stand and blue ribbons from the Northampton & Accomac Hunt club 1944 are just some more of the Hidden Treasures.
There is a very large collection of quilts from several generations. They are truly worth looking at.
Several pieces of art, ( some original ) including Willy Crockett as well as several beautiful old frames.
The assortment of costume jewelry promises some surprise for all of us. There seem to be some very old pieces as well as some that are signed.
One big surprise is still in the attic. There is a huge collection of National Geographic magazines from the early 1900”s to early 2000’s. If you would like to see them please ask for assistance.
The kitchen filled with colorful glass and and an assortment of vintage kitchen items as you will see in the pictures.
In the garage is a large assortment of used lawnmowers and old bicycles. They will all be sold on a “make a deal” price so bring your pick up trucks and trailers and take home a real deal.
The vintage wicker we believe has been with the house for great number of years and will need a little TLC and a good coat of paint.
This is a sale you will be talking about for years so be sure to come and join us for a weekend of fun.
