The Antiques Emporium
Uniquely Curated Finds in the Heart of Kendal

The Antiques Emporium is a proudly family-run business based in Kendal, nestled in the picturesque South Lakes of Cumbria. Since opening our doors in November 2014, we’ve built a reputation as a vibrant and eclectic destination for antique lovers, collectors, and creative home decorators alike.

Our Emporium brings together a rich variety of items under one roof, offering everything from antiques and collectibles to retro treasures and mid-century modern furniture. You’ll also find an ever-changing selection of vintage books, original paintings, jewellery, kitchenalia, tools, and industrial pieces that have been lovingly reclaimed or repurposed. Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind gift or a characterful piece to complete a room, there’s always something special waiting to be discovered.

What sets us apart is our commitment to creating a welcoming and inspiring space with its own distinct personality. Our team of passionate traders regularly update and refresh their stock, so every visit offers something new. We strive to make your shopping experience not just enjoyable, but memorable.

In addition to our wide range of vintage and antique pieces, we’re proud to be your local stockists for both Frenchic Paint and Chestnut Wood Finishing Products—our top recommendations for renovation and upcycling projects. Whether you’re restoring a beloved heirloom or starting a creative new venture, we’ve got the materials and advice to help bring your ideas to life.

We invite you to pop in for a browse or get in touch with us directly if you’re looking for a specific item or want to check product availability. There’s always something new to explore at The Antiques Emporium.
