Antique hunting tips for Cannes

The dealers' own advice, for Cannes:

• Ask about restoration at 1900-1950. Has it been restored, and by whom? Honest restoration is fine; hidden restoration is a problem.
• Check the back and underside at Le Patio. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Start with what you love. Collect what interests you, not what's 'hot'. Markets cool; genuine interest doesn't.
• Don't refinish good pieces. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Cannes — 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 Cannes can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 16 that's closed, or a great antique store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

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 16 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.
