Antique hunting tips for Shanghai

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

• Learn to spot married pieces at Antique Garden Shanghai. Furniture assembled from mismatched parts — 'married' — is worth far less. Check that everything matches in age and style.
• Ask the dealer to teach you at 古玩木器玉雕. 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.
• Ask about provenance. Where did it come from? The story matters for value and for your own enjoyment. Good dealers document it.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Shanghai — 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 Shanghai can take a while to appear. The 4 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 4 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.
