Vintage Furniture Stores
A list of the coolest vintage furniture shops around.
Lawson-Fenning
Mid City/Beverly - Los Angeles, CA United StatesIf ever a furniture shop encapsulates the eclectic, often contradictory aspects of the Los Angeles area, Lawson-Fenning is it. Consider that the city is ground zero for Hollywood Regency, was the longtime home and workplace of Ray and Charles...
Look Modern
Hosford-Abernethy - Portland, OR United StatesReader Suggested: Look Modern provides the largest selection and the top condition of Danish modern and mid-century modern furniture in the Pacific Northwest. They have designer pieces by Hans Wegner Arne Vodder, Peter Hvidt, Rosengren Hansen, Grete Jalk and American companies such as Herman Miller and Knoll. They...
Lost City Arts
Flatiron - New York, NY United StatesEstablished in 1982, Lost City Arts is a stalwart in the New York mid-century modern furniture trade and for good reason. Their open space is filled with a great balance of wooden and upholstered furniture from Scandinavia and America. The...
Lotus Bleu
Hayes Valley - San Francisco, CA United StatesLotus suggests Asia, Bleu suggests France and in the case of Lotus Bleu both suggestions are accurate. Lotus Bleu brings together art, textiles and home accents from Southeast Asia and France. The interior designer owned shop is a treasure trove...
Machine Age
Fort Point Channel - Boston, MA United StatesReader Suggested: Machine Age is a true destination store, with amazing original, mid-twentieth designer furniture you won't find anywhere else in New England. The selection is huge, and the prices much softer than New York's... definitely worth the trip!
Machine Age Modern
Leslieville - Toronto, ON CanadaReader Suggested: Great collection of unique vintage pieces and new custom works. Eclectic before eclectic was cool. Plus Jake the owner is a super nice guy.
Millennium Decorative Arts
Cardozo Shaw - Washington, DC United StatesYou could think of the furniture, accessories and clothing that fill Millennium Decorative Arts as retro. We prefer to think of the store as a collection of items that will never, ever go out of style. (We dread the day when an Eames lounge...
Mode Moderne
Old City - Philadelphia, PA United StatesMode Moderne gives new meaning to the term "good old days." The store has assembled a top-notch collection of vintage, mostly mid-century modern, furniture and accessories that is testament to how good designers of that era were. While...
Modern Artifacts
Deco Ghetto - San Francisco, CA United StatesArtifacts, in this case, is not an overstatement. Modern Artifacts finds and sells the type of furniture, mostly from the mid-20th century, that can also be found in the permanent collections of modern art museums around the country. In addition...
Modernlink
NoHo - New York, NY United StatesWhether you like your modern old or new, Modernlink has something worth looking at. The shop began as one dedicated to mid-century modern design. They import containers worth of wooden and upholstered furniture from Scandinavia. This is top tier...
Modern Times
Ukrainian Village - Chicago, IL United StatesModern Times: because someone has to fill all the posh lofts and condos being built in Chicago. The vintage furnishings store is rife with top-notch examples of mid-century modern furnishings from the masters of the era. These are iconic pieces...
Mondo Trasho
Abbotsford - Abbotsford, Victoria AustraliaReader Suggested: Mondo Trasho stocks rare and unique vintage furniture and objects. Not your average 20th Century design store.
Monument
The Mission - San Francisco, CA United StatesMonument is just that to the world of mid-century furniture and accessories design. Th museum like space house an enviable line up of furnishings. Like any museum, some pieces are classics that any informed vintage furniture buyer will instantly...
Morba
West Queen West - Toronto, ON CanadaTypically as a store runs out of space, they expand. At Morba, they've perfected the art of structurally sound stacking. Chairs are piled on top of more chairs, furniture is stacked to the ceiling, accessories and odds and ends fill every...
Mostly Modern
Park Slope - Brooklyn, NY United StatesThe small storefront is not a great indication of the breadth and depth of furniture Mostly Modern carries. Mid-century modern is king here, with a variety of chairs, tables, casegoods, lamps, glassware, from Heywood-Wakefield, Knoll and other...
Neophobia
Uptown - New Orleans, LA United StatesReader Suggested: This is the only mid-century furniture store in New Orleans and I believe in Louisiana. It combines Danish modern with American retro styles. Just a very cool store in a city that's a little lacking right now.
NoHo Modern
West Hollywood - West Hollywood, CA United StatesNoho Modern is more furniture gallery than furniture store. The furniture pieces, mostly from the mid-20th century, are first class representations of mid-century design with prices to match. The pieces are more serious than playful, with lots of...
Now/Again
Silverlake - Los Angeles, CA United StatesFurniture stores tend to focus on one era--somehow not seeing the Queen Anne with the Barcelona. Fortunately, the folks at Now/Again understand man's predilection towards mixing and matching. The store has managed to find the beautiful and...
Orange
Mid City/Beverly - Los Angeles, CA United StatesFor most, Orange will be more about inspiration than commerce, but either way you can't go wrong. Pieces represent the finest in 20th century furniture and accessories design. The collection includes everything from iconic mid-century modern...
Past Perfect
Cow Hollow - San Francisco, CA United StatesReader Suggested: Past Perfect over on Union St (and also Lombard, they opened a second location) is a fabulous vintage store that I love to explore. They carry home decor, furniture and fun knick-knacks from the 20s-70s. Past Perfect is a collective, housing rare, exclusive finds from 40 different vendors. Each...
