Antique hunting tips for Tehran

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

• Keep receipts and records at Anik Gallery. For anything valuable, keep the receipt and the dealer's description. Provenance starts with you.
• Don't overlook ephemera at پنجه طلا. Old paper — maps, posters, postcards — is affordable, fascinating, and easy to live with.
• Check for woodworm (honestly). Old furniture sometimes has it. Look for the telltale holes, ask the dealer, and know it's treatable but real.
• Check the back and underside. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Tehran — 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 Tehran can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 4, 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 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.
