Antique hunting tips for York
A few things worth knowing before you work through York's antique stores:
- Ask about restoration at The Goods Office. Has it been restored, and by whom? Honest restoration is fine; hidden restoration is a problem.
- Ask about the shop's specialty at Year Dot. Every dealer leans somewhere: furniture, silver, books, textiles. Find the lean that matches your interest.
- Learn your periods. Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century — knowing the periods keeps you from paying Georgian prices for 1980s revival.
- Ask for the story. The best dealers know where pieces came from. The story is part of what you're buying.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around York — 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 York can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 24 that's closed, or a great antique store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
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 24 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.
