City guide

Antique shops in Halifax

Halifax punches well above its weight for old things: three-storey group shops, luxury vintage, social-enterprise thrift and dealers who import English furniture by the container. Here's how the city breaks down — and a taste of what's in the register.

Where to look

Downtown & Spring Garden. The densest picking in the province: multi-dealer group shops, consignment clothing institutions and curio cabinets tucked into the historic core around Barrington, Granville and Dresden Row.

Quinpool Road. The city's antiquing strip — big group shops with fifteen-odd dealers under one roof, heavy on 19th-century furniture and Art Deco.

The North End. Agricola, Young and Prescott Streets mix formal antique furniture specialists with small social-enterprise thrifts where the prices stay kind.

Across the harbour. Dartmouth holds its own with boutique thrifts and second-hand outposts worth the ferry ride.
