 | Brussels Antiques & Flea Markets Reviews | 21 - 26 of 26 |  |
As a huge music fan, I am always on the look out for interesting record shops when I travel abroad.
'The Collector' is a real treasure chest of vinyl from rock to pop, jazz and soul.
Prices are on the high side but the range is very wide. I found some rare albums that I have spent years looking for back in the UK.
For "vinylists", the place has that special glow that only a decent, good and honest record shop (one that is run by an enthusiast) can. Give yourself a good couple of hours for digging those crates!!
60s/70s/80s rock, pop, soul and jazz albums especially but there is a very eclectic range of vinyl including punk/new wave, old film soundtracks, european music etc

Around Place du Sablon, there are many antiques shops selling all sort of art pieces and antiques.
I guess brussels is a bit specialised in African art and antiques.
The pic is random ! many others similar shops around.
For antiques lovers or seekers, do not miss the flea market at Place du Jeu de balle.
All sort of antiques and african (primitive) art.
Beware, it is not that cheap ! Leave a Comment Theme: AntiquesAddress: Place du Sablon + Place du Jeu de Balle

With Sablon area, les Marolles is, as I said earlier in another tip, the Mecca of antiques shopping. The whole area that comprehends le Sablon and les Marolles is so atmospheric.
Here and there, the small pubs with beer sippers sitting on the terraces, or even, on pedestrian lanes. Then, the main streets in Marolles: Rue Blaes and Rue Haute as far as antiques are concerned. Private galleries, simple outlets and the flea market on Place du jeu de balle.
In fact, I like seeing & examining antiques items. At same time, when you see monogrammed silver plate & cup & brush, you feel a pinch because you know that not everyone would accept to get rid of those items that use to be gifts from family members. So, what was there to make them put those personal effects on sale ? Financial troubles ? Fights in the families ? Who knows...
* Antiques (trinkets, paintings, figurines, bijoux anciens and jewelry in general, the latter are my favourite...)
* Home furnishing (both the antiques & 2nd-hand shop and the Asian style at Rambaggh, rue Haute)
*Second-hand books (incl. comic strips) Leave a Comment Theme: AntiquesAddress: Rue Haute & Rue Blaes, 1000 bruxellesDirections: Marolles area, beneath Justice palace

This market happens daily from 7a.m. to 1p.m. You will find a large number of vendors selling secondhand household and antique items. While there we found an antique brass clock with matching candleabras...beautiful pieces and a great price. Antiques are few, old clothing, and dishes are there in abundance. Theme: AntiquesAddress: Boulevard Emile Jacqmain 1, 1000 BruxellesDirections: We took a taxi from Gare du Midi which cost about 12 Euro. and took about 15 minutes to get there.
