DK Travel : Boston : Beacon Hill : Shopping

20th Century Limited

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.

Gallagher-Christopher

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

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

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.
Upstairs Downstairs

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.
