My Favorite Pittsburgh Antique Stores

Have you ever wondered which antique stores in Pittsburgh are among my favorites? Today I'm sharing a list of local stores where I like to hunt for antiques. I'll also tell you a bit about why I love these shops and some of the items I've purchased from each.

As regular readers of Inspired by charm know, antiquing is one of my hobbies. I often post my finds here on the blog and on my Instagram page. Since moving to Pittsburgh, PA, I'm frequently asked by fellow yinzers about where I like to shop for antiques around here. After living in the area a couple of years and doing a lot of "first-hand research," I'm ready to reveal this list of My Favorite Pittsburgh Antique Stores.

Pittsburgh Antique Stores:

Before we get to the list, a few notes:

First, I plan to update this list as I discover more stores or if my favorites happen to change. I will also continue to add photos. (Most of my current photos are borderline terrible.) I'm always a bit nervous about snapping in-store photos, but I'll do my best.

Second, every store has pros and cons. In this list, I'm focusing on the pros of each location. Of course, what I love about any store may differ from what you love. This is a list of MY favorites, not "The Best" antique stores in Pittsburgh.

Finally, I've provided a rating of the prices at each shop. This rating ranges from $ to $$$ and reflects my perception of the store's prices as a whole. Please note that a lower or higher rating is not a factor in my overall impression of a store. Prices are just something to be aware of.

If you're also into antiques, here are a few other posts that you may want to check out:

Now that I've shared all of that, let's take a look at the list!
