A Guide to Premier Phoenix Antiquing for Vintage Enthusiasts

Vintage enthusiasts will find

that antiquing in Scottsdale

or Phoenix is an excellent

and intriguing pastime with

many treasures to be

discovered.

Our area has vintage shops

for just about any collectible

whether it is “antique” and

over 100 years old …

… or just tons of “vintage”

items that are somewhat

newer and bring back fond

memories..

Antique Trove

2020 N Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale

Be greeted with 1950s and 1960s

oldies music playing on the overhead

speakers in this huge store with

individual dealer showcasesand displays.

You will find furniture, jewelry, sports

memorabilia, Disney items, Christmas

ornaments, turn of the century rare finds, and so much more.

It is a wonderland of timeless pieces

that will excite any collector.

Best for Vintage Dishware - Flo's on 7th

4116 N 7th Ave, Phoenix

Dishes and serving pieces including

vintage Italian dishware will often be

tagged with the set's current

eBay value!

There is jewelry, furniture, Jimmy Choo,

Prada, books, purses, Disney movie

stills, high-quality nicely arranged used

and vintage clothing, electronics,

appliances, and so much more.

All blue tag items are only a

whopping dollar!

The best part is that all of the money raised

by this store goes to Florence Crittenton of

Arizona, a non-profit organization that has

served Arizona's youth and their families for

over a century.

Its mission is to mainly help at-risk girls from

ages 12 to 21 overcome behavioral and/or

mental health problems, neglect, abuse, teen

pregnancy, teen parenting, and education.

Safe environments are created for young adults

and families to discover the support of a caring

community and the possibility of a new and

brighter future.

Best Vintage Christmas and Other Stuff:

Zinnias on Melrose

724 W Indian School Road, Phoenix

In addition to Christmas holiday items, there is

art, lamps, furniture, toys, mirrors, light

fixtures, old photographs, and tons of beautiful

pieces in many retro, shabby chic, handmade,

contemporary, novelty and some antique

articles.

There are more than 30 vendors, all with

different styles, tastes and offerings. Be sure to

shop upstairs, also.

Best Place to Buy Vintage Clothing:

Antique Sugar at Zinnia's

724 W Indian School Road, Phoenix

This is inside and connected to the

Zinnia’s antique store above.

It is a great vintage shop specializing

in well-kept and unique 1920s through

1980s clothing in excellent condition

as well as a wide selection of jewelry

and other vintage accessories.

They even have big girl clothes on one

rack for curvier gals, a nice men’s

section, and cute vintage kids clothes.

Best Vintage Lighting Fixtures

- Stuff Antiques

4206 N Central Ave., Phoenix

This place is filled to the rafters with a

treasure trove of period lighting with

stunning exceptional examples of

Antique, Art Deco, Victorian, Arts and

Crafts and Mid-century Modern pieces.

Look overhead to see fabulous ceiling

fixtures that make this feel more like a

museum of exceptional lighting and a

lighting fantasy land rather than

just a shop.

There is also antique furniture, display

cabinets, stained glass windows, slot

machines, gumball machines as well

as repair, restoration, and preservation

work being done

on antiques.

If you are fortunate to be living in one

of the Scottsdale high rise condos in

downtown Scottsdale, you are close

enough to enjoy the local and Phoenix

antiquing for exciting purchases or

just to browse.
