Antiques Abound

Antiquing is big in these parts, and Wilmington offers a respectable number of shops specializing in fine antiques and collectibles. We have dealers scattered throughout downtown with others located in the major shopping centers.

Several more antiques stores are located outside the city and some are in neighboring counties. To assist you in locating places to buy antiques, pick up a free copy of A Guide to Greater Wilmington Antique Shops, widely available wherever tourist pamphlets are displayed.

Canton Ware, Estate Jewelry

Those interested in exquisite examples of Blue Canton Ware should be sure to visit Silk Road Antiques, located on South Front Street in Historic Downtown Wilmington.

It is not often that so many extraordinarily fine pieces can be seen in one place. Snuff bottles, estate jewelry, hand carved ducks, ship models and collectibles are other items you’ll find in the shop with an ever-changing selection of merchandise.
