Attentive service and a down-to-earth attitude bring a sense of order to a store filled with furniture and other living accessories. No fancy-schmancy over the top feel-good antiquey displays here, this looks more like the kind of place that you might find that one piece that gets you the jackpot appraisal on the Antiques Roadshow. Then again … it might not … that’s part of the fun of browsing in this little corner of Hintonburg.

Located on the edge of Wellington Village, A Fine Things Antiques is one of the few antique shops in/near downtown Ottawa. The shop includes a large basement, filled will carpets, bed frames, furniture and is somewhat of a maze, as the basement is made of up multiple rooms. The main floor is filled primarily with furniture and framed pictures, although not all items would fall into the category of being a true antique. Most items are affordable, as this is not an upmarket shop, but one that caters to the casual antique store browser. Given the lack of antique shops in Ottawa, A Fine Things Antiques is a welcome addition to the local antiques retail scene.
