Stockholm's best antique shops

Fifties/Sixties retro style

Upplandsgatan is well known as one of Stockholm's best streets for vintage interiors shopping. You'll find everything from classic antique furniture to Fifties and Sixties modernism and fine porcelain. Bacchus Antik is one of the city's best reputed antique dealers and sells Jugend pieces, beautiful furniture and lamps from the Fifties and Sixties. Domino Antik stocks a high quality, varied range of design items from the 1850s to the 1970s.

Hand-picked handcrafts and vintage bargains

On Fridhemsgatan you'll find the concept store Swedish Nature Collaborations, where vintage, handcrafts and design are all gathered under one roof. Bodil Vintage is one of the collaborators, selling vintage and second-hand interiors and clothes. Perfect for anyone who hasn't got time to go searching for a needle in a haystack: everything here is curated and stylish.

Several streets of classic elegance

Around the smart streets of Östermalm you'll find several different stores selling antiques, second-hand and vintage items. Gamla Lampor means 'old lamps' and it's not hard to guess what this particular store sells. In the market for an Art Deco lamp or rare Sixties find? Then this is the place to come, but they also sell other items of furniture from the Thirties on. If you want to add to your collected of heirloom china or add a personal touch to your table setting we recommend a visit to À la Carte Antik. Sibyllegatan is also home to a number of antique shops.

Trendy vintage dream

The style-conscious Brandstationen sells extremely high quality vintage furniture, as well as antique interiors pieces, lamps and lots of plants in a trendy mix. The store looks as though its stepped straight from the pages of an interiors magazine and is a mecca of inspiration for anyone interested in design. Don't expect any budget second-hand bargains.

300 square metres of second hand

Återvinnarna is a non-profit organisation which gives unemployed people and recovering addicts a second chance. The vast store is packed with furniture, brick-a-brac, household items and lamps and paintings. They accept donations and you can haggle over the prices. Well worth a rummage through.

Antique industrial lighting

On the hunt for stylish vintage industrial lamps or trendy retro armatures? If so, you need to take a trip out to Midsommarkransen. You can find rare items such as hand-blown glass pendants by Hans-Agne Jakobsson from the Fifties as well as top quality, newly-renovated lamps. Not cheap, but definitely good value.

Hidden treasure

Some of the city's charity shops are serious vintage treasure chests for anyone who has the time and energy to rummage through them. Myrorna Ropsten is one such charity shop. As well as furniture, they have a wide selection of porcelain as well as bargain household items and there are several branches throughout the city, including one at Adolf Fredrik Kyrkogata. The same goes for Stadsmissionen - but one which really stands out is their branch in Sätra. They specialise in interiors - anyone for textiles at 39 SEK per kilo?

Check out Barnebys - you'll find everything on sale at various auction houses gathered together on one website. They sell everything from furniture and art to jewellery and clothes, and the prices are just as varied - you'll find bargains as well as heirloom pieces.
