    P Cashell

    A timeless and jammed antique and curio shop that seems entirely out of place amid the glitz of central Cork. It's like a treasure hunt.

    O'Sullivan Antiques

    Fine furniture and furnishings from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras are the speciality of this respected antiques shop, where a rummage might also reveal some distinctive bits of ceramic and crystal, not to mention medals and uniforms from a bygone era that will win you first prize at the costume ball.

    Oxfam Home

    They say charity begins at home so get rummaging among the veneer cast-offs in this furniture branch of the charity chain where you might stumble across the odd 1960s Subbuteo table or art deco dresser. Esoteric vinyl from the '80s is another speciality of the house.

    Francis Street

    Some of the most interesting - and wackiest - shopping is done along Francis Street in the Liberties, the home of antiquarians and, in recent years, art dealers of every hue. Although you mightn't fancy transporting the hand luggage, you can have that original Edwardian fireplace you've always wanted, shipped to you by the shop.
