Colourful Tins
Northcote Road Antiques Market Stock
Inside this delightful Antiques Market, you will find a beautiful mix of vintage and antique objects. The term vintage is a nice way of saying ‘second hand’, and the items should be at least twenty years old. You’ll discover shoe forms, brick moulds, leather luggage, Avery scales and more. The item should be at least one hundred years old to be a real antique. The Edwardian, Victorian, Georgian and Art Deco periods are all covered. At this market, you can find everything from homeware to glassware, silverware, dinnerware, decorative objects, art and furniture. Here are a few things which caught my eye…

Northcote Road Antiques Market Interiors
Shop Interiors
From the outside, this looks like a small shop. Step inside and wander along the corridor, and you will discover around thirty small stalls spread over two floors. The antiques and vintage goods are piled high, so there is much to see. Take your time and browse; if you find something, you like to ask the person sitting at the cashier’s till for assistance. A few of the antique dealers may be there, but the stalls are usually unstaffed. If you walk up the stairs to the mezzanine level, you get a better sense of how big this store is. If you’re committed to spending a bit of time there, you are likely to find something exceptional.
