Barcelona's Top Vintage Antique Shops
So, you're in Barcelona and looking for that perfect vintage piece to complete your home—or maybe just hunting for something unique that tells a story.
Whether you're into mid-century modern, rustic charm, or quirky antiques with soul, Barcelona is full of hidden gems when it comes to vintage furniture.
I've scouted out the best spots in the city where you can score beautiful, pre-loved pieces that make your space feel so you.
Let's dive in!
Table of Contents
1. Sergi Tobajas
This place, Antiguitats Sergi Tobajas, seems like a pretty solid bet based on the reviews.
A 4.5 with 20 reviews isn't bad at all, right? It looks like a proper "antique store," so you're probably gonna find some genuinely old and interesting stuff there.
They mention "used and antique furniture and objects," which sounds promising for finding those unique vintage pieces you're after.
They're located in the Gràcia neighborhood, which is a really cool, kind of bohemian part of Barcelona.
So, even if the store itself is closed when you go (double-check those opening hours!), you can still wander around a really nice area.
Plus, the fact that they offer in-store shopping, pick-up, and even delivery is super handy if you do find a massive wardrobe or something! Their website is antiguedadestobajas.com if you wanna have a virtual peek before heading over.
One thing I stumbled upon is that the owner, Sergi Tobajas, was actually mentioned in a local news article about the street they're on (Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel) and some traffic concerns.
It's a small detail, but it kind of gives you a little glimpse into the local feel of the place.
It sounds like he's been there for a while!
2. Viravolta
Espai ViraVolta looks like it's got a really good vibe, scoring a 4.8 with 22 reviews - that's pretty awesome! They call themselves an "antique furniture store," but from what I can gather, it's maybe a bit more than just a shop.
The name "Espai" (which means "space" in Catalan) hints that it is a workshop or maybe even a co-working spot related to furniture restoration.
They're tucked away in the Ciutat Vella (Old City) area, which is super central and full of character.
Being open until midnight is also pretty unusual for an antique furniture store - maybe they have events or workshops in the evenings? It definitely sounds like a place with a bit more of a community feel.
I saw something about them being involved with local artists and artisans, and they seem to be into giving old furniture a "second or third or fourth life!" That's a cool angle - maybe they specialize in restored vintage pieces with a unique touch? It could be interesting to see what kind of transformations they do.
3. Brutus de Gaper
Okay, so Brutus de Gaper has a slightly lower rating at 3.8 with 37 reviews, but don't let that put you off completely.
It's still a decent score, and with more reviews, it could just mean more varied opinions.
They describe themselves as an "antique furniture store" and mention a "vast assortment of vintage furniture, antiques & housewares in a lofty showroom." That sounds like it could be a treasure trove! They're located a bit outside the main central areas, in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, which is technically a different municipality but right next to Barcelona.
So, it might be worth the little trip if you're looking for a really big selection.
They also offer delivery, which is good to know if you find something bulky.
Their website is brutusdegaper.net Official Site, so you can probably get a good look at their style and what they usually have in stock there.
I also found a mention of them being a "mid-century, vintage and art deco design paradise with jewels from Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Belgium." That's pretty specific and could be a great angle for your article if that's the kind of furniture you're focusing on!
4. Ago Store Barcelona
Ago Store seems pretty popular too, with a 4.8 rating from 33 reviews.
They also call themselves an "antique furniture store," and their website is agostore.es Official Site.
From the little I could see, they seem to have a good eye for stylish vintage pieces.
They're located in the Gràcia neighborhood as well, so it's not too far from Sergi Tobajas.
This could make for a nice little vintage furniture crawl if you decide to visit them both! They offer in-store shopping, pick-up, and delivery, which is always a plus.
Looking at their website might give you a better sense of their specific style or if they specialize in certain eras or types of furniture.
Sometimes these smaller, well-rated stores have really unique finds that you wouldn't see everywhere else.
Here's a quick rundown in an unordered list:- Sergi Tobajas: Antique store in Gràcia with a good reputation for used and antique items.
- Viravolta: Antique furniture store in Ciutat Vella that seems to have a community vibe and might focus on restored pieces.
- Brutus de Gaper: Large showroom in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat with a focus on mid-century, vintage, and art deco from Northern Europe.
