Northup Gallery

Great place, and definitely worth a stop. I’ve been looking for a vintage goose neck lamp for my desk for months and finally found the perfect one. What really sold me, is that the owner does all the rewiring, so I don’t have to worry about anything—which you usually would with an older lamp. He was super friendly too, so it was an overall great experience.

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 definitely be back!

Awesome selection of stuff and Tim was an absolute pleasure to talk with! Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Just an absolute gem of a place! Tim the owner is delightful and he's done a terrific job transforming his grandfather's stunning barn into a beautiful space full of wonderful treasures. The layout is well designed, it's not stuffed to the brim, and Tim offers some unusual categories like vintage hardware that can be really hard to find. He also has a unique vintage drum museum on the downstairs level. Check it out!

I purchased a piece of furniture from an online listing and would absolutely recommend that others check out this store and buy with confidence. Working with Tim was a pleasure - excellent communication and very knowledgeable. His shop is really unique and seems to have frequent updates with new pieces rolling in. Looking forward to seeing what he brings in next!

Tim Northup is everything you'd hope for as an antiques dealer; kind, passionate about beautiful things, knowledgeable, giving of his expertise & time, & more than fair in pricing. He educated & guided my husband & I when we were newly married, furnishing our home 30 years ago, & I am happy to say is a familiar friendly face to return to once again! Highly recommend!

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. Definitely worth it.

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 Tim anymore.

This is my new favorite place to get antiques! I loved the setting in the old barn and parking was easy . Great variety, everything was nicely organized, fair prices. Owner Tim was very helpful and friendly. I got some really neat things that I have not seen other places! Highly recommend!

Tim is the most helpful person I have ever dealt with for Customer Service. He was friendly and understanding, and helped me get my order straightened out to my complete satisfaction. I wish I lived closer to his store, so I could do some in person shopping. The online pictures of his place are beautiful. Thank you again, Linda

We called Tim to help clean out my brothers house after my sister in law died. It was overwhelming and emotional. Tim came in, walked around and reassured us we were sorting correctly and that he would be there every step of the way to help. Not only did he do what he said, it was a pleasure working with him. He is professional, knowledgeable of antiques and/or collectibles and their value at this time. He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend Tim for any estate appraisals or sale of antiques. He is honest and fair.

Tim Northup has a vast knowledge of antiques, and is consistently a fair and honest person to do business with. The customer service provided through Northup Gallery is always excellent, and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling antiques.

Great antique shop diversified and unique items Mid- Century to primitives' and as a bonus by appointment you will get to see some one of a kind drums and percussion instruments at the Northup Museum , one of my first stops on the way to Cooperstown.

Great antique store with some real classic finds. Drum museum downstairs was awesome. Worth the drive up from Main st. Very knowledgeable & friendly owner.

I bought a beautiful antique shelf from Tim and had a wonderful experience. There are so many pretty and interesting things in this store; I'm sure I'll be back.

NORTHUP GALLERY Has the best stuff !! I’ll be going back quite a few more times !!! The drum museum is the ultimate experience! Put this place on you bucket list!

Really fun, best collection of drums I've ever seen. The owner let us play a few of them too.

Amazing prices, great selection of watches and pocket watches. Can’t wait to come back next time I am here!

So many awesome treasures, and the drum museum is one of a kind! Highly recommend this place!
