A warm welcome awaits lovers of antiques; here you will find three floors full of wonderful treasures for you to browse through to your hearts content. This shop has everything from antique dolls in the window to a marvellous 50s and 60s collection of furniture, prints and ceramics on the third floor. You will pass antique bears on the stairs and a gallery of prints, paintings and tapestries as you make your way to the first and second floors. After you've spent a while looking at this huge collection, you might just like to visit the Café Marmaduke at the sister shop in the Stonegate Antiques Centre, just across the street.

Antiquités Françaises |
74 Micklegate York YO1 6LF United Kingdom +44 1904 62 4465 http://www.thefrenchhouse.co.uk |
Just a stroll from Micklegate Bar Museum is the French House antique shop. It's deceptively larger than can be imagined when you first enter through the front door from Micklegate. The main showroom is full of interesting antiques and on display is everything from china to furniture, as one might expect. On continuing down the passage, the visitor will be pleasantly surprised to find that it opens out into another, much larger room which specializes in antique bedsteads. Overhead are many different chandeliers, lamps and light fittings including some excellent examples in the Art Nouveau style, a style that has now become very much in demand again. Downstairs, in the basement, are even more exciting finds to be discovered by the discerning buyer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

All good things come in small packages |
24 Goodramgate York YO1 7LG United Kingdom +44 1904 65 5481 |
As with many of the best shops in York, and Minster Antiques is no exception, little and quaint often goes hand in hand with quality and good service. The space it occupies is very narrow and small but this tiny shop makes use of every inch of available space and is a virtual Aladdin's Cave of treasure, just waiting for the right buyer to come along. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and are more than willing to give advice if needed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Up-market antique shop |
36 Goodramgate York YO1 7LF United Kingdom +44 1904 63 8842 |
This is a very up-market antique shop, which, unlike most antique shops, is completely uncluttered and very selective with its displays. The visitor is met with a warm smile and a welcoming, friendly attitude. Everything from tables and clocks to ceramics and glass is sold here, and if the shop doesn't display what the visitor is looking for then they are assured that every effort will be made to acquire the article in question.
