Putnam & Speedwell

Putnam & Speedwell Vintage Home Furnishings, Fashion, Books and Curiosities. We are collectors of antique and mid-century modern goods that reflect their colorful history.

Our particular interests include Ohio River Pottery especially restaurant ware, textiles and handmade linens, vintage clothing and used and rare books. It is hard to predict what catches the eye or where our wandering takes us but, we hope they bring harmony and pleasure to your every day life. In our barn, we design and build with locally milled timber and up-cycled materials. Our portfolio inclu

Our inspiration comes from the early settler Rufus Putnam who, we imagine, took note of the abundant flora like Speedwell made up of delicate blue and pink flowers. We are inspired by exploration and discovery:
Putnam is to Speedwell as we are to our own local treasures.
