3 Best Antique Dealers in Delhi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

One shop on this list has 904 Google reviews. The next closest has 289, and the smallest just 77, a gap wide enough that review count alone tells you almost as much as the rating does. The antique dealers in Delhi worth knowing run through old-city coin specialists, sprawling handicraft markets, and small Connaught Place stores that live on word of mouth more than signage, and ratings across the three range from 4.2 to 4.8 depending on how much you weigh volume against polish.

Short answer: Malik Handicrafts is the clearest match for genuine antiques, a Connaught Place shop specializing in brass and wooden artifacts, rated 4.8 across 77 reviews. Indian Hobby Club holds the largest review base at 904 reviews (4.4) but specializes in coins and currency, not general antiques. Kashmir Haat is a broader carpet and handicraft market rather than a dedicated antiques dealer.

Indian Hobby Club

4.4904 Google reviews

Indian Hobby Club is a Chandni Chowk numismatics and philately specialist, dealing in old coins, currency notes, and stamps rather than general antiques or furniture. It's worth being precise about what this is: a coin and currency dealer with deep stock spanning ancient, Mughal, princely-state, and British India issues, plus modern collecting supplies like albums and holders, not a broad antiques shop. Owner Kapil is named directly by reviewers as knowledgeable and well-mannered, and the club also ships internationally to overseas collectors.

What people praise

  • Deep, specialized stock across ancient, Mughal, and British India coin eras
  • Owner Kapil named directly and praised for expertise and manner
  • Ships to international collectors

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer reported an unresolved shipping and communication issue on a prepaid order; most other reviews describe a positive buying experience
  • A collectibles specialist rather than a general antiques dealer

Our take: The largest review base on this page by far, 904 reviews at 4.4, reflects real transaction volume, though the rating sits a touch lower than the other two, likely tied to the shipping complaint above.

Kashmir Haat

4.2289 Google reviews

Kashmir Haat is a multi-floor handicraft and carpet market in Lado Sarai dealing primarily in rugs, jewelry, and handmade decorative pieces, with some antique-style items in the mix rather than antiques as its core focus. One detailed reviewer describes three floors of carpets, shawls, and handicrafts spanning traditional to contemporary designs. It's genuinely useful for handicraft and carpet shopping in Delhi, but if you're specifically after vetted antiques, Malik Handicrafts below is the closer match.

What people praise

  • Wide range across carpets, rugs, jewelry, and handicrafts under one roof
  • Described as maintaining variety across traditional and modern design styles

Worth knowing

  • A general handicraft and carpet market rather than an antiques specialist
  • Some public reviews on this listing describe a differently-named Delhi market; we weighted our assessment toward the reviews that specifically name Kashmir Haat

Our take: We rank it third and frame it carefully: it's a legitimate handicraft and carpet destination, but calling it an antique dealer overstates what the reviews actually support.

Malik Handicrafts -THE HANDICRAFTS AND BRASS STORE

4.877 Google reviews

Malik Handicrafts, also known as The Handicrafts and Brass Store, is a small Connaught Place shop on Janpath Road specializing in brass statues, wooden artifacts, and antique pieces, with owner Jatin and salesperson Ankit named repeatedly across reviews. The shop ships large items overseas, with one reviewer describing an eight-day FedEx delivery to the US after an in-store purchase. Reviewers consistently describe fair, non-inflated pricing, a notable point in a market area known for aggressive bargaining tactics.

What people praise

  • Ankit and Jatin named directly and praised for honest, non-inflated pricing
  • Ships large items overseas with tracked, timely delivery
  • Genuine antique specialty (Google-listed as an Antique store), not a general handicraft shop

Worth knowing

  • Small physical footprint; easy to walk past despite the range of stock inside

How we scored these dealers

Rating is each dealer’s live Google average. Volume measures how many customers left a review, weighed against similar dealers in the same city. Confidence combines rating and volume, so a strong score built on hundreds of reviews counts for more than one built on a handful. Recency tracks how current the reviews are. No dealer can pay to change these numbers; a paid placement only affects badge visibility, never the score.

What do antiques cost in Delhi? (2026)

Pricing for antiques and collectibles in Delhi varies enormously by category, era, material, and provenance, from a modest old coin to a large brass statue requiring international shipping. Bargaining is common in Delhi’s markets, though reviewers specifically praised Malik Handicrafts for quoting fair prices upfront rather than expecting negotiation. Ask for a written price and shipping estimate before committing to any large or high-value piece.

Shopping across Delhi

These three sit in very different parts of the city: Indian Hobby Club in the old-city lanes near Chandni Chowk, Kashmir Haat further south in Lado Sarai, and Malik Handicrafts in the heart of Connaught Place. If you’re searching for an antique dealer near me in Delhi, Connaught Place and Chandni Chowk are the two easiest starting points by metro.

What to ask before you buy

  • Is this piece genuinely antique, or a handicraft made in an antique style?
  • Can you provide any documentation of age or provenance?
  • What’s the total cost including international shipping, if you’re buying from abroad?
  • How is a fragile or large item packed for shipping?
  • Is the price fixed, or open to negotiation?
  • What’s your return or dispute process if an item arrives damaged or doesn’t match what was described?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A dealer can pay for a Featured badge and prominent placement, but that never changes another dealer’s score or position.

How did you choose these three?

We looked at businesses in Delhi dealing in antiques, collectibles, and antique-adjacent handicrafts, then ranked by rating weighted against review volume. We kept the list to three because few Delhi listings genuinely specialize in antiques rather than general handicrafts.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this page in July 2026 with current Google ratings and review counts. Check a dealer’s live Google profile before you visit.

Is Kashmir Haat really an antique dealer?

Not primarily. It’s a handicraft and carpet market with some antique-style pieces mixed in. If antiques specifically are what you want, Malik Handicrafts is the closer match.

Are old coins and currency notes considered antiques?

Collectors generally treat them as a separate category, numismatics and philately, rather than antiques in the furniture-and-artifacts sense. Indian Hobby Club specializes in that collector category specifically.

The bottom line

For actual antiques, brass, wood, and vintage artifacts, Malik Handicrafts is the safest bet and the highest-rated of the three. If you collect coins or currency instead, Indian Hobby Club’s scale and specialization are hard to match. Treat Kashmir Haat as a handicraft and carpet stop, not a dedicated antiques source.
