Antiques: Specialty Antiques and Furniture
  • Tip Rating:
  • Magazine Street (Uptown) is known among locals for the "off the beaten path" antiques and quirkier specialty furniture pieces.

    If you're into that kind of thing, then you should schedule time for a half day trip down Magazine. You can start around the 2000 block and work your way toward Downtown.

    For the pricier, more classic pieces of furniture and French antiques as well as jewelry and art galleries, your best bet is to roam Royal St. (200-700 blocks, specifically) in the French Quarter. Chartres Street (200 up to Jackson Square) also has some interesting shops.

    If you don't buy anything, then at least the browsing and window shopping can be time well spent -it's actually a fun pastime.

    Last year I got a great deal on an antique silver "belladonna" ring...the little box opens and closes, and it's fascinating! I can just visualize some early 1800s debutante or society princess hiding belladonna in there and taking a whiff every once in a while before a ball or some such thing...Love it!

    There are several shops of gorgeous antiques and artwork all around the French Quarter. I noticed a large concentration on Royal St. I found that I did a lot of window shopping there. Every shop we passed had one or two pieces that interested me.

    Some shops used their inner courtyards as display areas. Which made for great strolls and nice finds.

    Antiques: Magazine Street
    Along Magazine Street are some very interesting little boutique shops, and restaurants.
    Magazine St. has a lot of the charm of old New Orleans (in my opinion, anyhow) but without the crowds of the French Quarter. One can easily spend an afternoon browsing there, particularly if the weather is nice.
    I think it also is quite lesbian and gay- friendly, but is appropriate for any type of group.

    Antiques: Joan Good Antiques
    Full of antiques, estate jewelry, and new jewelry.

    I was most interested in their cameos and antique rosaries.

    The French Quarter isn't the only area with antique and boutique stores. Venture on down to Magazine Street!

    I perused photo albums, wall sconces, photo frames, drawer pulls, sachets, paper towel holders, cigarette cases, etc.

    FIlled with jewelry, antiques & art.

    I like the silver-tipped walking sticks, the oyster plates, and the cuff links.
