ANTIQUES 1876 AND RITA & MANDI’S HOME DÉCOR EXPANDS IN DEADWOOD! Now with more space and more to discover. By Ingrid Hayward In the heart of Deadwood, 1876 Antiques and Rita and Mandi’s Home Décor has quickly become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors. By blending antiques, Western charm, and creative home décor, the shop has earned a reputation for a shopping experience that’s just as memorable as what you’ll find on the shelves.
Walking through the store feels more like wandering through a collection than shopping in a retail store. Around every corner is something unexpected: a reclaimed farmhouse table, an old advertising sign, Western décor, and unique collectibles. It’s a reaction the owners hear all the time from first-time visitors. As one customer put it, “I didn’t know I liked or needed any of this stuff until I walked in here.”
“We have quickly become a must-stop shop for people because we truly have something for everyone,” states Joey. “From guns to glassware, that’s what we say, because we really do have it all,” adds Jeff.
That feeling of discovery keeps people coming back. The inventory changes constantly, and new treasures arrive on a regular basis, making every visit a little different from the last.
With business quickly outgrowing the current space, the store has expanded into additional space within the same building. The extra room allows the owners to bring in more inventory, spread out displays, and give shoppers even more to explore. Inside the shop, you’ll find viantage furniture, rustic Western décor, antique accents, collectibles, glassware, artwork, and one-of-a-kind pieces that don’t belong in a big-box store. Some items have been lovingly restored, while some are just waiting for the right person to take them home. The atmosphere is a large part of what makes the store special. Joey is always happy to help customers track down the perfectly imperfect piece, while Jeff has a knack for making visitors feel like old friends before they even reach the checkout counter. Nothing in the store is picked at random. Every piece is personally selected because it has something unique to offer, whether it’s craftsmanship, history, or simply the ability to catch someone’s eye. That’s one reason so many customers stop in every time they’re in Deadwood: there’s always something new on the floor. The expanded space also gives Rita and Mandi’s Home Décor more room to shine. Already a popular part of the business, it features refinished furniture, seasonal decorations, and home accents that pair naturally with the antiques throughout the store. Together, the two businesses show how vintage finds can fit beautifully into today’s homes.
