Old Town Antiques

Nice antique store in old town. Lot's of great items at a good price. Owner shared they have been there for years.

Cool, unique treasures with a specific emphasis on New Mexican heritage. It's a smaller space, so they have to pack it in, and they do all of that and more. Prices are a little higher than other places in town, but there is a more refined selection to match. Friendly hosts, with a ton of knowledge on what they are selling.

I love this store! Moved to ABQ early 2020 and so much was closed. Got out to eat and saw this great shop. In what I call a shotgun house ie long and narrow, the architecture is as amazing as the contents.I like the casual feel. I am a thrifter to the core but appreciate the lovely works here. Definitely a wide range of items and prices. From random skulls to vintage jewelry and Pueblo pottery finds,it's awesome. I love that they say they "recycle history". Next time I bring something home I can use that line on my dear hubbie.Definitely recommend

If you've never been to Old Town Albuquerque, I'll give you a quick description: A shaded, Spanish-styled central square, surrounded by historic buildings, including an adobe church; Many building are filled with shops and restaurants.Most of the shops are touristy; Think "gift shop". My dad calls these "the rubber tomahawk stores"; And sadly they comprise about 80% of what you will find here. (And you will find 80% of the people in them too)Then there is the other 20%; like Old Town AntiquesNo rubber tomahawks here (or dreamcatchers, God forbid). Just the real deal: either colonial Spanish antiques, native Indian crafts or early American antiques. Any turquoise jewelry here is the real stuff, not the hardened resin so prevalent in the other shops (yet still sold as "turquoise jewelry"). Indian rugs aren't copies churned out by a machine. And a hand forged tool from 1872 is just what it says it is.And yes, these things may be a hundred years old, or more; And yes, they are often beautiful, interesting, unique, and always one-of-a-kind. And so you pay more than you would for a rug or bracelet or clay pot pulled from a shelf full of identical copies. But isn't that the point?

Vintage Jewelry Great Prices; Fun & Fascinating Collectibles; Something for Everyone. Shopping at this little antique shop was one of the best decisions we made upon entering Old Town. Its right off main street across from a retro parking lot that uses pigeon hole boxes to collect parking fees. I found my iconic New Mexico piece of jewelry at a great price. I bought a few other sterling pieces that were priced to sell. Our time studying the various collectibles was even better thanks to the attention of the owner/operator. Friendly & attentive but not intrusive - she recommended a couple of places to see while we were in Albuquerque - notably the Acoma Sky Pueblo. We did & were so, so glad!While I bought jewelry in a couple of other places - Santa Fe / Taos - none of those pieces compared to the first ones I found right here.

What a lovely antique store. Old Town is filled with touristy gift stores, but this is the only legitimate store we went in. This is not the place to find Albuquerque shot glasses or chili pepper magnets. This is a true, well-curated antique store with a special New Mexico flavor. She has vintage baskets and pottery, Indian-made silver goods, framed art and prints, vintage handmade jewelry, etc. There are some reasonably priced items and also some collector-type items that are aimed at higher end shoppers. I walked out with two hand-painted botanical prints from a 1861 book ($18 each) and another vintage map print ($36), all with mats included. They were a beautiful and unique find. The woman in the shop (the owner?) was very friendly and knowledgeable, willing to chat with us about the antiques and and their history. She had cookies set around and she allowed us to bring out dog inside. Note: Credit cards accepted.

About 40 years ago I purchased a pair of Native American earrings. Unfortunately I lost one and was looking to buy a new pair. After being overwhelmed while looking at Native American jewelry at various shops, we decided to take a look at Old Town Antiques for a vintage set.This was the best experience we had while shopping for jewelry. While I didn't find my earrings, I found a fabulous bola and learned a great deal about Native American jewelry and turquoise. Connie, the owner, patiently shares her knowledge and has a display about the various types of turquoise. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It is okay to look with no pressure to buy.Old Town Antiques is a terrific shop with a variety of items, nicely displayed and well priced. We will definitely return.

I'm so disappointed! Our family drove in from Dallas, TX and I planned out the Antique stores to visit in the area. This store was on the top of my list. I made sure of the times it was suppose to be open online and even when we walked up to the door It stated it was supposed to be open. It was not! I write a blog about Antique stores I visit all over the U.S. and now I will not be able to give it Free Publicity.

Beautiful, historical space handsomely displaying fine antique and old collectible items. Friendly, efficient & knowledgeable service. Great value. My purchases (so far) have included a lovely vintage hand-beaded barrette (Navajo artist), an antique Turkish embroidered textile, and Mexican sterling silver earrings. I will definitely keep going back. Highly recommended.
