2124 Antique furniture/auctions in Le Marche

We have just purchsed our house in Le Marche, just inland from Grottamare. I am now contemplating the (not unpleasant!) task of furnishing it. As it is a barn conversion in a village location, I am wanting to source 'rustic' (country) type antiques, such as scrubbed pine kitchen tables, wrought iron garden furniture etc. I wondered if anyone had any hints or great places they had found antique gems...?

There is an Antiques market on the first Sunday of the month in Fano. Hope that of use.

By the way antiques cost a fortune and things we wouldn't consider to be antique is thought of that way here.
