antique store

Old things emporium

An antique store is a shop that sells old items valued for their age, craftsmanship, or collectibility—furniture, jewelry, art, housewares.

The line between antique store and secondhand shop is fuzzy, but antique stores typically stock older, pricier merchandise and cultivate a sense of history: We found a Victorian settee at an antique store downtown.
