What counts as an antique store in Gisborne

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.

Gisborne sits about 39° south of the equator, so the seasons run flipped. Winter here runs June to August, and it's prime antiquing season — estate season fills the shops with fresh stock.

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

Antique smarts for Gisborne

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

• Ask the dealer to teach you. Dealers who love their stock love talking about it. An hour of questions is a free education.
• Don't overlook ephemera. Old paper — maps, posters, postcards — is affordable, fascinating, and easy to live with.
• Beware the reproduction. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.
• Bring measurements. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.
