Guyi Antique Furniture
There aren’t many genuine antiques here, but there are a lot of good-quality reproductions and it’s especially strong on screens, cabinets and desks. They speak English.

Chine Antiques
This is one of the glossiest antique stores, with prices at the higher end of the spectrum. This branch is at the Liu Haisu Art Gallery and there’s a warehouse on the western outskirts. A small branch office in the Old Town (6387 4100; 38 Liuhekou Rd; 浏河口路 38 号 ), just off Dongtai Rd, can direct you to another warehouse a couple of minutes’ walk away.

Zhōngzhōng Jiāyuán Jiāju
There are more pieces, including hundreds of wooden screens, here under one roof than anyone can take the time for. Ask to see all the rooms (about 15!), including the unrestored pieces in the warehouse, but only if you have a spare day or two. The sales staff are slicker and prices slightly higher than at some other places in town, but if you’re looking for something specific, they might just have it.

Henry Antique Warehouse
This enormous showroom, with more than 2000 high-quality antique pieces, both large and small, is a good first stop for antique hunters. It’s down a lane off Hongzhong Rd in a not-so-obvious location; look for the signs. The Traditional Furniture research department of Tongji University is based here.

Zhang's Textiles
The Shanghai Centre address means this top-end shop caters to flush expats, offering a sublime collection of antique and framed embroidery, dragon robes and shoes for bound feet. Strangely enough, Bill Clinton prefers the Běijīng branch, but everyone has the right to be different.

Fuyou Antique Market
There’s a permanent antique market here on the 1st and 2nd floors, but the place really gets humming for the ‘ghost market’ on Sunday at dawn, when sellers from the countryside fill up all four floors and then some.
