About

Hi, I'm Laura, and welcome to Memories of Lenore.

After running a brick and mortar vintage furniture and decor shop for over a decade, I decided to move online exclusively (with a few local markets here and there). While running my shop, I discovered that my favourite things were the more unusual: Victorian mourning jewelry, antique religious paraphernalia, oddities, art deco accoutrements, anything else I found unique - and the older, the better!

I noticed there was a lack of online shops in my local area offering truly different and rare antique pieces, and thought I could fill that gap and fulfill my passion at the same time. Inspiration for the name "Memories of Lenore" came from the infamous poem by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Raven", which is my all time favourite piece of prose. By combining these elements, I hope to bring you things you've never seen before, in a whimsical and creatively gothic online setting.

Welcome, and enjoy.

-L.
