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

Buying from an antique dealer in Singapore usually comes down to trust as much as taste, since there's no way to verify a piece's history from a photo alone. The dealers on this page have logged over 430 Google reviews between them, and every single one holds a rating of 4.6 or higher, which says a lot about how these shops treat a browsing customer, not just a buying one.

Short answer: The most-reviewed antique dealer in Singapore is East Inspirations Shop in Chinatown (4.8 stars across 140 Google reviews), known for Chinese porcelain and tea culture. Treasure At Home (4.9, 77 reviews) and WOVENSOULS (5.0, 67 reviews) round out the top three, each specializing in a different category, from vintage everyday objects to antique Asian textiles.

  • Praised as a way to learn about Singapore's history and culture through everyday objects
  • Family involvement, including the owner's son, is noted as a nice touch by visitors
  • Described as a distinctive, only-in-Singapore kind of experience

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data as of the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each dealer’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have left a review, ranked against other Singapore antique dealers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on well over a hundred reviews carries more weight than one built on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do antiques cost in Singapore?

Prices vary enormously by category, from small ceramic pieces to full furniture restorations, and most dealers price individually rather than by a fixed rate card. One shop on this page lists smaller antique porcelain and ceramic pieces from roughly SGD 28 up to around SGD 220 for larger cinnabar lacquerware and porcelain items, based on its published online shop. Beyond that single dealer’s listed range, we don’t have enough verified pricing across the group to publish a full table, since furniture and textile pricing especially depends on the specific piece.

JobTypical price
Small antique ceramics / porcelain itemsSGD 28 - SGD 220

Range compiled August 2026 from East Inspirations Shop’s own published online store pricing. Furniture, textiles, and larger pieces from any dealer on this page are typically priced individually, so ask each dealer directly for a quote.

Serving all of Singapore

These dealers are spread across Chinatown, Paya Lebar, and Henderson Road, with a couple operating primarily online with worldwide shipping. Searching for an antique dealer near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can check opening hours before you visit.

What to ask before you buy from an antique dealer

  • What is the provenance or documented history of this specific piece?
  • Does the dealer offer authentication or a certificate for higher-value items?
  • What is the return or exchange policy if the piece doesn’t match its description?
  • Can the dealer arrange international shipping, and what does that cost?
  • Does the dealer offer restoration or repair services if a piece is damaged later?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these antique dealers?

We started from antique dealers in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these dealers ship internationally?

Several reviewers mention successful international shipping from these dealers, including WOVENSOULS and East Inspirations Shop. Confirm shipping cost and insurance for fragile pieces directly with the dealer before buying.

What kind of antiques does each dealer specialize in?

East Inspirations Shop and Just Anthony focus on Chinese porcelain and furniture, WOVENSOULS specializes in antique Asian textiles, Treasure At Home carries a broader mix of vintage everyday objects, and The British Antiques Company focuses on British and European pieces.

The bottom line

East Inspirations Shop is the safest starting point given its size, rating, and central Chinatown location, but the right dealer here depends on what category of antique you’re after. Ask about provenance and return policy before committing to a higher-value piece.
