MA furniture filter: looking for reproduction or antique living room / bedroom furniture and lighting near Worcester, MA.
We are redecorating our 300 year old home and are looking for authentic looking furniture as well as lighting (sconces, chandeliers) - we are flying to Boston and visiting these places:
Angel House Designs - Sturbridge, MA
The Seraph - Sturbridge, MA
With Heart and Hand - Norfolk, MA
We are staying in Worcester. Any suggestions for other places to try, specifically where we might find four poster reproduction beds? Within an hour of Worcester or Boston please - we fly in on Friday and out on Monday. Thanks!

Sturbridge will have a lot of other places, there is quite a tourist draw from Old Sturbridge Village. Their gift shop would also be a good place to find decorative items like dishware, lamps, and some tin and ironwork.

Gardner isn't going to have much in the way of authentic furniture from that time frame. Last time I went up there, it was mostly just regular furniture stores, stuff I could find anywhere else.
What you want to do, is wait until this rolls around: Brimfield Fair. Lots of furniture shows up there as well as other odds and ends. There's also a couple stores that open even when the fair isn't in the Brimfield area. Route 20 in general has a lot of antique dealers on it once you head out west of Sturbridge.
There's also an antiques store in West Boylston that has a decent amount of furniture, it used to be a furniture store. Not sure of the name, it's on Route 12 right before you get to Wachusett Reservoir.

The Barn Antiques
Billing itself as "New England's largest antique furniture showroom facility," this Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, store has 24,000 square feet of antiques to explore.
This place is in NH (tax free!) and is an hour away from Boston.
If you go you could grab lobster in the rough in Hampton at Brown's.
