Learn More About Us
Known for high quality merchandise and fair prices, The Attic sells a wide variety of fine jewelry, sterling silver, home furnishings, collectibles, and decor.
Attic Consignments, locally known as
"The Attic", started in 1981 as one woman’s dream of selling high quality, gently-used items on consignment. The Attic rapidly earned a reputation for offering fine quality items
at
attractive prices in a warm and inviting retail setting. Now, after more than 30 years, The Attic continues as
Richmond's premier consignment store.
The consignment model offers many benefits. Consignors can conveniently and safely earn money while cleaning their homes and closets of still-valuable items. The Attic makes the consignment process easy and convenient. Customers enjoy shopping from an inventory of carefully curated, fine-quality items offered at below-retail prices. Inventory is updated daily.
The Attic's
expert staff diligently verifies the pedigree, condition, quality, and marketability of consigned items. We set prices so as to capture maximum revenue for the consignor while offering excellent value for shoppers.
The Attic specializes in selling fine estate jewelry authenticated by our on-site, certified gemologist and jeweler. We also sell high-quality sterling silver jewelry, including designer brands such as John Hardy, Konstantino, Tiffany, and David Yurman. Our home furnishing inventory includes furniture, antiques, rugs, art, lighting, decor, collectibles, and more!
WHO WE ARE
Meet Our Founder
Lorna Rowland was a homemaker who had just seen her youngest child off to college. She wanted to help her daughters furnish homes of their own, but had trouble finding the kind of high-quality goods she had used in her youth. With no luck finding used goods through thrift shops or want ads, she had an idea.
She imagined a community consignment shop in Richmond selling high-quality household goods in a welcoming, attractive retail setting. Ms Rowland reasoned that consignors could benefit by making "a pretty penny" on their gently-used but still-valuable household items. Customers could benefit by buying good quality items at fair prices from a friendly, honest proprietor. The environment could benefit from the store's effort to foster new life for household valuables. She advertised for items to be sold on consignment. After just a few weeks, she had enough goods to open her first shop on Patterson Avenue!
OUR STORY
Still a Richmond Favorite
Now, more than 30 years later, The Attic is more popular than ever. Consignors who began selling with Ms Rowland in the 1980s are still coming back, and more sign up every day. Treasure-hunters continue to seek out our shop to find something new every time they come in. The Attic has been located in the West End of Richmond at Gayton Crossing Shopping Center for more than 25 years now, and is a Richmond tradition for shoppers familiar and new. We hope to see you soon!
“Where else can you take your old treasures or buy a favorite new treasure at a very reasonable price? If you have never visited the Attic, then you must add it to your next “to do” list. I love this special place!”

“The Attic has saved the day for me so many times. I have downsized three times since my husband died and The Attic and its knowledgeable managers have been a saving grace for me. I have sold over 1,000 items over the past 10 years. My problem is that everytime I bring something to sell I find something I can’t live without!”
Bette R
“The Attic is my favorite place to consign items. My things are priced very fairly. The Attic's staff are kind and friendly and welcome their customers with a smile. The best part is that they work very hard to get the best price on all items.”
