Very cold, dark and a little unorganised but that’s why you go to antique shops!

If you are looking for a traditional antique shop then Sigma will fit the bill. No junk here as I tend to find in most places that report to be antiques. Huge selection of 18th/19th porcelain and nice antique furniture with a few curious pieces here and there.

An absolute Aladdin's cave of weird and wonderful stuff. Dark and slightly mysterious ambience... Nothing that my better half would approve of though, so I shan't be buying anything.

Lots of old antiques of varying sorts. Unknown on prices as we didn't buy but the gentleman at the counter seemed friendly enough. Quick walk from Cathedral if you are in town.
