Shop Name: The Little Shop Around the Corner
Address: 4474 Castleman
The Little Shop Around the Corner has been occupying a light-filled storefront on Castleman Avenue for 16 years. The shop carries an extensive selection of color glassware and full sets of china, as well as antique furniture and small decorative objects. While the shop relies solely on donations, curators are selective about what makes it to the sales floor. “Especially for large furniture items, we ask to see photos before picking anything up. We want to make sure a piece is relevant for our store and also in good condition,” says Mitzie Streeter, store supervisor. An added perk: The shop is a non-profit whose proceeds help support programs of the Missouri Botanical Garden, so customers don't pay sales tax and can be assured that their purchases are going toward a good cause.

Owner Rick Ege describes his store inventory as “things your grandma never had.” “When you walk into an antique store and see china or a dresser and say, ‘My grandma had one just like that’ ... Well, you won’t say that here. I specialize in oddities and one-of-a-kinds. Anything from the 1770s to the 1970s, but all things your grandma never had." The shop sits on a quiet, tree-lined section of Sidney Street, with a front room that opens up to a larger, light-filled space in back. Ege is a knowledgeable proprietor who happily shares the history and origins of his inventory—inventory that can range from an 8-foot-tall vintage French Carousel Panel to 18th-century urns and a Midcentury wrought-iron patio set.

We want to make sure there is a varied assortment with multiple eras and product types represented.” After shopping, customers are invited to stay for a lunch of sandwiches, soups and salads at the adjacent Olivia Cafe.

Owner Ronnie Vinton opened his 6,000-square-foot storefront in 2021 to showcase the home goods and furnishings he sources from estate sales, auctions, and travels. "I work closely with designers and have a lot of contacts in the design industry. They often lead me to new items and I help them source unique pieces for their projects," says Vinton. The shop is often stocked with sought-after pieces from Midcentury furniture designers such as George Nelson, Hans Wagner, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Vinton prides himself on mixing eras and styles and inspires clients to do the same through his artfully designed vignettes, like the Regency-style, gold-rimmed cocktail set and contemporary coffee table books that sit atop a 1970s bamboo bar cart.

When Shawn Lipe opened The Refind Room Annex in March 2022 as an offshoot of The Refind Room in Brentwood, it was with the desire to help his clients “live artfully.” “There is a real desire to harmonize art with the furniture and decor in The Annex," says Lipe. While the shop carries works by prominent artists such as Salvador Dali and Victor Vasarelli, Lipe prefers the work of unknown artists from the Midcentury, citing their more approachable price points and raw, expressive styles. While the shop has an impressive selection of small and large-scale art, it also carries a large assortment of Midcentury furniture and decor. The shop is open Saturdays and Sundays and by appointment.

Buchanan estimates that he does close to 70 percent of his business through Instagram, where he posts daily photos of his inventory.

Visitors to Elder’s Antiques can expect to find more than just furniture, though. Cherri sources a variety of items in order to reach a wider customer base. Her inventory includes Waterford ornaments, toys, stained glass windows, vintage clothes, and more.

With approximately 120 dealers offering everything from early American antiques and mid-century modern to vintage kitsch, treasures are likely to be found walking down every aisle. "I think we have the best dealers in St. Louis. It's like one big happy family," says Campbell. "We also have great customers. I think 95 percent of our customers are repeat customers." Affordable prices are a big draw, says Campbell. Fans of mid-century modern items frequent Treasure Aisles for its large selection from the era. It’s also a go-to spot for vintage St. Louis and Cardinals memorabilia. The mall is open seven days a week and offers delivery of large items.

The Refind room also offers complete interior design services as well as estate liquidation services from fine estate auctions to estate sales and home staging services. Woodard and her experienced team at both the Refind Room and its city location, The Annex, work closely with both buyers and sellers to provide the best value and experience.

Established in 1956, The Emporium St. Louis is one of the longest-operating local antique shops. Owner Sallie Scott, 75, began working with her mother and grandmother when she was just nine, shopping for antiques in Gaslight Square. They opened their first retail location at Delmar and DeBaliviere, later relocating to Webster Groves and then to Rock Hill, its current location since the 1990s. Scott describes Emporium's inventory as everything you need "for your cottage or your castle." Scott, who took over the business in her 20s, has worked with fourth generation shoppers throughout the years. "Things I imported 30 years ago have come back on consignment," she says. Known for its hot pink façade and overflowing flower baskets, Emporium carries everything from English 17th-century antiques to more recent vintage lacquer furnishings.

Address: 6403 Clayton
Located in Clayton’s historic Demun business district, The Brass Alligator turns five this year. Owner Brian Hoffman started in the business as a self-proclaimed "weekend warrior" while working in an unsatisfying sales consulting job. When his garage started filling up with estate sale finds, he rented a booth space at Treasure Aisles Antique Mall, where he remains the largest dealer. Feeding his booth, he befriended a woman who ran estate sales and learned the business from her before striking out on his own. "My only regret is that I wish I'd have done it sooner," he says. "I started off heavy mid-century modern because that was the trend, but what I gravitate towards is what I describe as 'old world,' from traditional style furniture to antique books, bronzes, oil paintings and fine antiques. The gallery here in Clayton has become much of that."

Robert Morrissey has been dealing fine art and antiques for 40 years, specializing in 18th and early 19th century European furniture and objects. Over the past 20 years, he has diversified to include modern furniture and art, too. "I have a strong interest in local art and St. Louis' proud artistic heritage," he says. In 2006, Morrissey discovered local watercolorist Stan Masters (1922-2005) and offers a great deal of his work. "He's one of the greatest artists that St. Louis has ever produced," says Morrissey. While fine art may intimidate some, his shop offers many paintings that are well under $1,000. "Great art does not have to be expensive," he says. "I try to help people understand what they like." Another specialty of Morrissey's is antique ceramics and porcelain, especially European porcelain, Chinese-export porcelain, and French porcelain made in Paris from about 1780 to about 1840. Accredited by the Appraisers Association of America, he also offers insurance, estate and donation appraisal services.

Shoppers can find English, French and American furniture and accessories as well as unique and unusual artifacts among its aisles. General manager Carol B. Fyhrie learned about the business at a young age, being raised by two adventurous antique dealers who traveled everywhere to buy and sell their merchandise. "I purchase what inspires and excites me, whether for my own personal collection or for resale,” she says. "My interests are diverse and eclectic from textiles to art to home accessories, lighting, tables, and chairs. All must be 'I can’t live without it' whether I have a place for it or not.
My motto is ‘If you love it, buy it' because tomorrow it might not be available."

Younger patrons might even enjoy the store’s collection of vintage toys, which includes several shelf-fulls of Hot Wheels.

Owner Dan Hobbs doesn’t stay in one place for long. He is often traveling across the country in search of new items to add to his inventory. “My rule of thumb is, if I had to close the shop one day and I had to take everything into my home, I would enjoy it,” he says. “I usually don't buy something that I don't personally like myself.” Fox and Hound was founded in 2013, and has since moved between five different storefronts. The shop specializes in true antiques—objects that are at least 100 years old—and nearly every item is personally sourced by Hobbs. Guests can browse through his collections of vintage oil paintings, Victorian mourning pieces, and Midcentury furniture. “It’s always going to be something different, something unique,” he says.

Patrons can drop by to view the collection and have items shipped to their home. More than half of sales are made through BartonsFurniture, the company’s Etsy page. Guests who visit the store tend to have a particular need in mind, and Barton is careful to curate the shop with pieces that aren’t available elsewhere. “It has to be something really special for us to be able to sell it,” Barton says.

In 2004, she opened an antique mall in a converted church building. The space includes booths for 26 vendors who each source wares for the shop. Turnover at the shop is quick, and items range in period from the 1800s through the 1990s. Shelves are packed with glassware, vintage figurines, and colorful assortments of shot glasses. Frenchtown’s array of inventory is what sets it apart. “I don't sell only for myself,” she says. “There's a variety of [items] and different tastes—what they like, their styles, what they like to purchase—and that's what makes it unique.”

As a tourist destination, Main Street attracts clientele from a range of locations, especially during the Christmas season.

This multigenerational, family-owned business has been operating in the St. Louis area for more than 30 years. “Conservation is our passion and our true goal is uniting old things with new people so they can be properly loved once again,” says co-owner Lindsay Clifton. “Whether you’re looking to carry on your grandmother’s tea cup collection, find the perfect print for your best friend’s housewarming, or spice up your own place with the perfect art glass vase or desk, we have something for everyone and then some.” Clifton also offers items online, with the Affton storefront serving as a frequent pickup location. “The most important aspect of design is the impression that it leaves. Not many of us have the luxury of buying designer sofas or fine art paintings, but a few carefully curated antique or vintage pieces really can have that same memorable effect,” she says. “By decorating our homes with more unique and unusual finds, that speak to who we are or where we’ve come from.”
