Antique hunting tips for Cardigan

Hunting antiques in Cardigan? A few rules help:

• Check auction results at The Blue Boat. A quick search of recent auction prices tells you what things actually sell for — not what dealers ask.
• Beware the reproduction at Cardigan Curiosities. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.
• Check the back and underside. 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.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Cardigan — 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 Cardigan can take a while to appear. The 3 above are only as current as the community map. A antique store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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 3 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.
