Turn Back The Hands Of Time Antiques

Chicago's antique store directory lists 96 businesses, and most of them are easy to reach right away. Of that group, 89 have a phone number on file and 78 list a website, so you can call or click through without much digging. Shops cluster in ZIP codes like 60618, 60622, 60654, 60657, and 60660, each with 5 listings, while 60614 and 60640 each carry 4 and 60608 has 3. That spread means whether you're near Lincoln Square, Wicker Park, or River North, there's likely a shop just a few blocks from your usual route.

No business in this category carries a Sponsored tag right now, since paid placement hasn't started here, so the order you're scrolling through is just the order entries were added, not a ranking. If you own one of these stores and notice your phone field or website is blank, you can claim the listing and fill it in yourself, which saves a browser from guessing whether you're even open. With 96 shops on file, it's worth calling two or three before you drive across town, especially if you're hunting for something specific like mid-century furniture or vintage jewelry.
