Antique hunting tips for Aberdeen

A few things worth knowing before you work through Aberdeen's antique stores:

• Learn your periods at Louis Little Haven. Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century — knowing the periods keeps you from paying Georgian prices for 1980s revival.
• Keep receipts and records at Scottish & Ancient. For anything valuable, keep the receipt and the dealer's description. Provenance starts with you.
• Trust your eye, verify with research. If a piece sings to you, check it out properly before buying. Enthusiasm plus homework beats either alone.
• Beware the reproduction. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Aberdeen — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Aberdeen can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 5, or a antique store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 5 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
