Antique stores in Singapore

Singapore, Singapore has 7 antique stores on the map. That's 7 antique shops mapped around Singapore. Specialties differ enormously — furniture, jewellery, ephemera — so the shop that matches your interest matters more than the count. Learn to read the marks: maker's marks, hallmarks, and labels are the difference between a find and a folly.

This guide covers every antique store we could verify in and around Singapore (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Shang Antique and Matahari Antiques, plus Han Kwang Antique & Porcelain Gallery. If an antique shop's missing from Singapore's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about antique stores in Singapore

1 of the 7 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — antique shops keep civilised hours, so the listed times are usually good.

2 have websites listed. Worth a look for specialty areas — every dealer leans somewhere.

Most of the antique stores in Singapore list a phone number. Useful for asking about specific pieces or estate arrivals.

Antique hunting tips for Singapore

Hunting antiques in Singapore? A few rules help:

• Learn your periods at Shang Antique. Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century — knowing the periods keeps you from paying Georgian prices for 1980s revival.
• Check the back and underside at Matahari Antiques. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Check the jewellery case carefully. Estate jewellery can be excellent value. Ask about stones, metal content, and whether anything's been replaced.
• Patina is value. Original patina on metal and wood is desirable. Over-polished pieces have lost something irrecoverable.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Singapore — 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 Singapore can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 7, or a antique store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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 7 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.
