The Best Vintage Furniture Stores in Toronto

The best vintage furniture stores in Toronto are treasure troves of rare finds. Older pieces have a way of jazzing up any home, and many tend to be made with the kind of oldschool craftmanship you just can't find at big box department stores. Wear and tear aside, there’s nothing better than a chaise with character. 

Here are the best vintage furniture stores in Toronto.

6 - Morba

This Queen West store is a must-visit for any modern furniture and home decor lover. If you're looking for lighting, every foot of wall and ceiling space is draped with funky fixtures. Though the majority of their stock is contemporary, they have a sizeable collection of mid-century items too.
9 - Door Number Two Vintage

This shop in the Junction is crammed full with mid-century modern furniture that feels mildly Austin Powers-inspired. That is, nostalgic stuff from the 70s, 80s, and even as old as the 50s. You'll find a lot of vintage lamps, and there are tons of pretty affordable knick knacks to fill your home with.
7 - Zig Zag

For a carefully curated collection of mid-to-late 20th century goods, this Leslieville shop is perfect for perusing. From modern chrome rockers to mid-century lamps, there’s a lot to see, though prices are on the higher end due to near-perfect quality.
8 - Queen West Antique Centre

This Parkdale destination is filled with truly unique and high-quality pieces from the last century. Inventory is always changing but you might just be able to gawk over an antique chair with tufted cushions, bubble lamps, or some random decor like model airplanes, old-school telephones, and ornamental trophies.
10 - Phil'z

For sophisticated picks from the entirety of the last century, this sprawling Junction shop is packed with furniture, light fixtures, and other homewares. You could spendhours browsing their stock; if you're looking for a chair (or a whole set of Schoblom-Overman yellow chairs) specifically, you don't want to skim past this location.
3 - GUFF

This Riverside shop specializes in tables, chairs, andcredenzas. Though not necessarily designer, each piece is special and often restored to thebest of their ability. The best part? The prices aren't too bad, as they like to constantly refresh their stock.

12 - Studio Pazo

The most unique feature of this Corktown shop, save for the product itself, is the floor-to-ceiling shelving units stacked with an assortment of weird homeaccessories. Their furnitureselection is just as colourful, carrying everything from brandless coffee tables to ambiguously shaped Frank Gehry chairs.
