Antiques shopping in Boston

  1. A

    Twentieth Century Ltd

    Not just jewelry, but vintage jewelry, especially bakelite, silver and art-deco designs. This place sells the stuff that we wish we would inherit from our grandmothers… costume jewelry made by the great designers of yesteryear. The selection is overwhelming, with something to fit every­body’s price range (eg the $10 bin for the budget-conscious). This is where to come, princess, if you need a tiara for that upcoming ball.

    Eugene Galleries

    This tiny shop has a remarkable selection of antique prints and maps, especially focusing on old Boston. Follow the history of the city’s development by examining 18th- and 19th-century maps; witness the filling-in of Back Bay and the greening of the city. Historic prints highlight Boston landmarks, making for excellent old-fashioned gifts.

    Boston Antique Company

    This old-fashioned antique shop is filled to the brim with furniture, porcelain, jewelry, textiles and paintings, much of it from area estates. Upstairs is the slightly stuffier (though less stuffed) Antiques at 119 Charles.
