Northup Gallery — Attraction in Town of Oneonta

Tim Northup finds the best antiques in upstate New York. I have never had a problem with him and I know he is honest and cares about his customers. I have been selling and buying from Tim for years. I have bought some of my best pieces from him. When I want to sell something from my collection, i call tim.He is very fair in his pricing. I have never felt cheated or sorry I sold something because I didn't get paid enough. When I visit Tim's barn showroom, I know I will find quality antiques and the price is more than fair. I have also had Tim rewire almost every light fixture and lamp in my house. I know I don't have to worry if it is wired right. He takes great pride in his work. Tim has been in my house countless times ,delivering or picking up a piece he bought from me. Lots of times I am not home . I trust Tim completely. I would recommend Northup gallery to anyone who loves to buy quality antiques or who would like to sell something. You don't find dealers like...

If you are passionate about drums (and who isn't really?), you have to come see Tim at the Northcup Drum Museum!! In the outskirts of Oneonta in the basement of a former dairy barn, Tim has taken on the role of drum historian. Not only has he curated an unbelieveable PLAYABLE collection of drums and percussion covering the mid 1800s into the 1960s, but he is a virtual wikipedia of the stories that go with those literally works of musical art.

We pulled up late on a Sunday afternoon to find Tim rolling up his Open sign and saying goodbye to his last customers. Although he had already put in a full day in his antique shop he would not let us leave with a tour of his amazing collection! Sure having the opportunity to play one of Buddy Rich's kits was mind-blowing, but listening to Tim unwrap the stories of early drumming history was well worth the trip. You won't be sorry!! Tim, you are a cool cat! We will...

I really don't know what's cooler--this awesome old barn or the collection of goodies inside. The owner is an absolute artist! There's some of the coolest lighting I've ever seen in this place. SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES as we looked around... My favorite was probably the glass drinking glasses with Looney Tunes on them. He even has an Underdog glass! Those took me right back to my childhood. And the BARN! The beams in that place are stunning! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. I'm so glad we drove 40 minutes to see this collection....
