Welcome to Vintage Rumours, your curated destination for Vintage, Mid-Century Modern, Antiques, and Collectibles.

I am Joyce Rudquist, the Owner and CEO, and I bring decades of expertise to every treasure we handle. I am a professional Antiquarian, a Licensed and Bonded Auctioneer, a Certified Appraiser, and a dedicated Dealer.

Expertise & Offerings

While I enjoyed owning physical antique shops, the evolution to an online store has allowed me the freedom to offer a much wider range of exceptional items and comprehensive services, including:

• Appraisals: Providing certified valuations for insurance, estate planning, or curiosity.
• Buying & Consignment: Locally within the southern suburbs of St. Paul, we actively purchase estates, partial estates, individual treasures, and accept consignments.
• Estate Sales & Online Auctions: Utilizing my auctioneering experience to manage and execute sales.
• Item Location: Actively sourcing special or hard-to-find items for clients.

Special Services for Seniors & Veterans

We recognize that downsizing can be a significant undertaking. We offer a specialized service to assist Seniors and Veterans in navigating this transition, helping you decide what to keep, what to sell, and what to let go. (Please note: We do not offer real estate services.)

Where to Find Vintage Rumours

You can explore a selection of our items both online and in person:

• In-Store: Visit our booth at The Mall of St. Paul Antiques, 1817 Selby Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104. With approximately 60 other dealers, it’s a fantastic stop! I am typically on-site most Friday afternoons.
  *Please note that we do not buy your antiques at the store.
• Online Marketplaces: We also maintain a presence on eBay.
• Shows: Stay tuned to our website for updates on various antique shows and events where you can find us throughout the year.

We look forward to leveraging our expertise to assist you with all your antique, appraisal, and estate needs.

Thank you,

Joyce Rudquist
