Antiques shopping in Budapest

    Báv

    This chain of pawn and secondhand shops, with a number of branches around town, is always a fun place to comb for trinkets and treasures, especially if you don’t have time to get to the Ecseri or City Park flea markets. Check out this branch for chinaware, textiles and furniture. Other stores include the Belváros branch for knick-knacks, porcelain, glassware and artwork and the Buda branch for jewellery, lamps and fine porcelain.

    Almárium

    This wonderful shop near the entrance to the tunnel under Castle Hill sells antique and country Hungarian folk art of every shape and size: mangle boards, woodcarvings, chests etc. But don’t expect any bargains. An early 19th-century tulipán láda (trousseau chest with tulips painted on it) from Transylvania will cost you as much as 150,000Ft.

    Pintér Antik

    With a positively enormous antique showroom measuring 1800 sq metres in a series of cellars near the Parliament building, Pintér has everything – from furniture and chandeliers to oil paintings and china – and is the best outfit on Falk Miksa utca for browsing.

    Anna Antikvitás

    Anna is the place to go if you’re in the market for embroidered antique tablecloths and bed linen. They’re stacked up all over the shop and of very high quality.
