The Best Antiquing in Little Rock
Hunt for treasures housed at popular antique galleries and vintage stores — local design experts and our staff share their picks for memorable finds.
The Antique Company
1408 Rebsamen Park Road,
Little Rock | (501) 666-0339
Designer Mona Thompson, and co-founder of Providence Designs, says The Antique Company is her pick for particularly special pieces. “It’s not a place we go to for a steal, but it’s a must for authentic, high-quality antiques and textiles.”
Morris Antiques
50 Antique Way, Keo | (501) 842-3531
White Goat’s creative director, Adam Smith encourages visitors to explore small-town gems like Morris Antiques in Keo (30-minute drive). “We found a gorgeous birdseye maple buffet there “It was perfect for one of my clients.”
Fabulous Finds Antique & Decorative Mall
2905 Cantrell Road, Little Rock | (501) 614-8181
“All the local shop owners are such a delight to work with; you can always expect a great deal when shopping at Arkansas antique stores,” said Ashley Childers, founder and creative director for Emporium Home by Ashley Childers.
One of her favorites is Fabulous Finds Antique & Decorative Mall (pictured above), which she praised for its huge selection (they have more than 40 dealers) and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Sweet Home Furnishings/Clement
1324 South Main Street, Little Rock | (501) 296-9198
Smith also shared that some of his preferred shops favor the eclectic.“Sweet Home is one of my favorites, they have out-of-the-norm, unique items that you don’t see anywhere else,” he said.
Blue Suede Shoes Antique Mall
22460 Interstate 30 North, Bryant | (501) 653-2777
Blue Suede Shoes Antique Mall offers antique hunters who make the short drive to nearby Bryant a great selection of one-of-a-kind items in comfortable surroundings. “We’ve had a telephone booth, wooden with bi-fold door, complete with phone,” said owner Lisa Green, noting some of the store’s more unusual pieces. “Currently we have a red fire hydrant and as our mall is ‘dog friendly’ we have to ask our customers to be careful when they walk by it. And then there was a vintage casket with a viewing window on the top.”
Marshall Clements
1509 Rebsamen Park Road, Little Rock | (501) 663-1828
Smith’s final recommendation to visitors was Marshall Clements. “It’s a can’t-miss. The owners travel the world gathering items for their store, so they have pieces you wouldn’t find every day.”
White Goat
5624 R Street, Little Rock | (501) 603-9460
Designers love Little Rock’s White Goat. Not only is the boutique a go-to for gorgeous art and furniture, White Goat is one of the only stores carrying Chalk Paint by Annie Sloane. Locals flock here to upcycle their vintage finds using the store’s professional painting services.
