Welcome to Hot Tamale Antiques | 
|
What’s in a name? Well, “Hot Tamale!” is an early
20th century folk expression of enthusiasm and wonder.
It’s American… vaguely western… full of color… and
makes you laugh --- much like the spirited American antiques for
which Hot Tamale has been featured in such magazines as Country Home, Country Living and others.
Founded in New York City in the late 1980’s and now based in Texas, Hot Tamale Antiques scoots its well-worn boots across the United
States in search of authentic, quality, one-of-a-kind antiques for your home.
Owner Jan Orr-Harter has logged nearly a half a million miles, buying and selling in 41 states and Canada — so far — travelling from Texas to Maine, from New York New Mexico, picking through hundreds of sunrise shows, obscure shops, private homes, midnight auctions and little-known markets off the overly beaten path. It’s more than an obsession.
It’s a calling!
The result? Antique textiles like quilts, hooked rugs, linens, and big hand-made pillows with antique Saltillo tops of wool and silk.
Then there’s folk art and furniture, lots of original paint and finishes, lots of color. Add to that fine art, baskets, vintage dishes and jewelry… plus antique lighting, furniture and accessories with a western, rustic and Arts and Crafts flair.
So now it’s time to bring these treasures to the Hot Tamale Antiques Website. Happy shopping and Happy Trails!
