New Orleans Antique Shops

Imagine a world of antiques at your fingertips. Now imagine these treasures located in restored buildings, some dating back to the 1700s, in one of the most fascinating cities on the planet. All are found here along the streets of New Orleans, where the astute antique collector can find anything...from museum quality continental antiques to art deco statues to weapons used during the Civil War and much more. The quaint shops along the streets of New Orleans hold your treasure regardless of your taste, budget or passion.

There are three main shopping areas for the antique lover: Royal Street and Chartres Street, both located in the historic French Quarter, and Magazine Street, which begins in the Garden District and continues uptown.

Royal Street and Chartres Street are home to some of the most interesting and elegant shops in the U.S. Here the serious collector will find museum quality furniture, art and jewelry. The Travel Channel named Royal Street the “World’s Best Street for Antiquing,” and collectors world wide agree.

Magazine Street is home to a six-mile strip of artsy and eclectic stores, where the collector can find fabulous country French antiques, ancient Oriental pieces, vintage clothing, exciting art galleries and much more.

"This city is a hands-on laboratory for antiques and art," says Macon Riddle, of Let's Go Antiquing, a New Orleans antique consulting service named “Best in the Business” by Frommer’s.
