What counts as an antique store in Erin

A shop dealing in genuine antiques and vintage goods: furniture, jewellery, collectibles, ephemera. What doesn't count: the 'vintage-style' homeware chain, and general second-hand shops (those live on our thrift pages). The bar is a real dealer in real old things.

Erin sits about 44° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is prime antiquing season: estate clearances peak, the shops are full of fresh stock, and there's nothing better than a slow browse on a grey afternoon.

When antique shops in Erin get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Antique smarts for Erin

No mapped antique shops yet, but the hunting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Check the jewellery case carefully. Estate jewellery can be excellent value. Ask about stones, metal content, and whether anything's been replaced.
• Check the smalls. The glass cases of small items — buttons, tools, oddments — reward the patient browser disproportionately.
• Check auction results. A quick search of recent auction prices tells you what things actually sell for — not what dealers ask.
• Ask for the story. The best dealers know where pieces came from. The story is part of what you're buying.
