Gil Antigüedades
A window display of Great Gatsby–style flapper dresses and vintage nightgowns pulls passersby into San Telmo’s finest antiques emporium. Decorative objects like china teapots and leather hatboxes are overshadowed by the stunning array of silk slips and lacy Victorian gowns – John Galliano stopped by for inspiration on a recent visit to Buenos Aires.

Hernani
An old family business for generations, this very upscale antique store sells only top-drawer pieces. Grand old furniture, huge mirrors, giant urns, shiny chandeliers, rich tapestries and reproductions of famous statuary give this place a museumlike feel. Prices are in the thousands of (US) dollars.

Galería Cecil
Walk past the café in front and wander around the tiny antique cage-stalls in the back; there are old clothes, lacework, crystal stemware, silverware, toys, chandeliers and ceramic vases. Across the street, Paseo del 900 is grungier and a great place to pick up a poster of Che Guevara.

Imhotep
Come find the funkiest old knickknacks at this eccentric shop. Small oddities such as Indian statuettes, ceramic skulls, Chinese snuff boxes, precious stone figurines and gargoyles make up some of the bizarre trinkets here. Larger prize finds may include a boar’s head or a slot machine.
