antique stores
Old goods dealers
Antique stores are retail shops selling old furniture, decorative items, and collectibles.
The merchandise typically dates back at least several decades, distinguishing these shops from thrift stores or consignment shops selling recent secondhand goods.
Antique stores range from cluttered warehouses to curated boutiques specializing in particular eras or styles: We spent the afternoon browsing antique stores in the historic district.
