History
Established in 1991.
Built in 1988 by owner Rich Rupert with 2,400 square feet of open floor space, the structure began as a workshop, but it soon became an area for storage. Rich & Audrey's collection of primitive furniture & vintage items soon overflowed from their home into this building.
A local woman indicated to Rich that she wished she had a nice place from which to display & sell her antiques.
It was in 1991 that Rich founded Rustique Antiques & this local lady was open for business three days a week, selling her own and Rich & Audrey's items. Soon others learned of Rustique & joined with them. The business grew & had to expand. Over time, two additions were added, as well as three outside buildings.
The Rustique currently features 3,200 square feet of air conditioned interior floor space as well as an 80' covered porch. The three out buildings house numerous items too.
