  • Vintage designer costume jewelry and estate jewelry are the main attractions here. But don’t overlook the handsome 1950s barware, vintage clothing accessories, and other collectibles.

  • Antiques at 80 Charles

    Should your predilection be antique jewelry, keep this address in mind. Ornate gold brooches, platinum earrings – plus excellent examples of Wedgwood ceramic work – populate the glass cases here.

  • Formal pieces of 19th-century Continental furniture and accessories, such as drop-leaf dining tables, wrought iron wall sconces, and beautiful Tiffany-style lamps, are the draw at this elegant shop.

  • Seven dealers run this bi-level space filled with dozens of 19th-century Japanese woodblocks and Impressionist landscape paintings.

  • This intimate shop specializes in museum-quality, hand-painted 19th-century porcelain from all over Europe. You’ll also find marble statuary, exquisite linens, and period furniture.

  • Exquisite, predominantly 18th- and 19th-century English furniture and lighting distinguish this shop. Browse Biedermeyer lamp tables, opaline vases, and fine accessories.

  • More of a gallery than an antique shop, Judith Dowling carries superlative Asian pieces, ranging from 17th-century Japanese Buddhist figurines to exquisite ceramics.

  • Packed to its dusty rafters with oil paintings, tarnished silverware, and mismatched china – nothing quite beats that thrill of discovery you’ll find here.

  • Room with a Vieux

    Owner Jeff Diamond scours France for unique furniture and light fixtures, which span the centuries. High-end Art Deco furniture pieces, bedboards, and Louis XV mirrors are strong points.

  • This cozy shop places a refreshing emphasis on affordability and function. Everything from mahogany four-poster beds to belle époque opera glasses are on display.
