Bittner Antiques was founded by Brian Bittner, a third generation Vermont antique dealer with over twenty years of experience. His grandfather, Jack, began buying and selling antiques in the 1960s and opened his shop, “Yankee Ingenuity Antiques,” in Brattleboro, VT. Brian’s father, George, picked up the trade at an early age and continues to buy and sell antiques in Southern VT.

In addition to serving as president of the Vermont Antique Dealers Association from 2016-2019, Brian is a licensed auctioneer and an active member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. He’s joined by knowledgeable and passionate team members, including an experienced numismatist and a bookseller who formerly worked in the NYC rare book trade.

Bittner Antiques opened a showroom in Shelburne, VT, in early 2023, having operated for many years online and at antique shows throughout New England. The business handles a broad range of antique, vintage and old objects, with a focus on fine and rare examples across such categories as silver, watches, jewelry, Americana, folk and fine art. Some of the finest of these examples have been set aside for years specifically for the NHADA Show, and Brian and the team at Bittner Antiques are delightfully excited to now have the opportunity to share them. The majority of these items were sourced from private homes and estates in Vermont and have never before been offered on the market.
