Antique and vintage shops in Houston
10 antique and vintage shops are mapped within about nine miles of central Houston. Old frames, mirrors, brass candlesticks and the odd oil painting are the pieces that make a new room look lived in.
In Houston, the cozy season is short and the heat is the enemy of candles: soy wax softens above about 120°F in a parked car or a sunny window. Store them cool, and save scented evenings for the few months the windows open.

Before you go
- Bring a tape measure and a photo of the wall; a mirror that is two inches too wide is a mirror you carry back.
- Check a mirror's silvering at the edges and a frame's corners; both are fixable, both cost.
- Old brass candlesticks: look for a maker's mark underneath and a stable base.
What works
- Empty old frames are the cheapest way to a gallery wall; the print goes in later.
- Smell candles and wax before buying old ones; perfume oils turn.
- A chipped gilt frame is a feature on a bedroom wall and a flaw in a showroom; buy for the room.
