| |  | About us
With five showrooms spread over three floors and over one hundred dealers from all over the country, The Antiques Centre York stocks a hugely diverse range of antiques and vintage, catering for all tastes and covering many periods from Ancient Rome to Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco through to contemporary.
The building is a listed Georgian Townhouse situated in the heart of historic York, just a thirty second walk from York Minster on Stonegate; one of the oldest Roman streets in the city. The centre is also home to 'Flossy' our resident ghost - she features highly on the local ghost tour!
We have Molly's Tearooms on the second floor, which is open seven days a week from 9:30am until 3:30pm and serves hot drinks, lunchtime snacks and homemade cakes.
The website has only a small sample of the vast amount of items we have for sale in the centre. We try and update the website daily, but if there's something specific you're looking for - drop us an email or a phone call and we'll do our best to find it for you. Chances are we'll have it in the centre somewhere! You can shop with confidence using our secure online shopping basket - whether an item is old or new there is always an emphasis on quality.
