A Vast Emporium of Vintage Finds
Occupying a spacious 10,000 sq ft unit in the Skillion Business Centre, Amazing Antiques Etc. stands out as one of the largest dedicated antique shops in North East England. The sheer scale of the space allows for an impressively diverse inventory, with more than 3,000 items on display at any given time.

The layout is designed to encourage browsing, with clearly arranged sections that make it easy to explore different eras and styles without feeling overwhelmed.Porcelain and Beyond
The shop has a particular reputation for its porcelain collection, drawing in enthusiasts of fine china, decorative ware, and tableware from various periods. However, its appeal extends far beyond ceramics; visitors regularly find mid-century furniture, retro homewares, vintage lighting, and an eclectic mix of decorative objects. The stock is constantly refreshed, with around 100 new items added each week, so repeat visits often yield fresh discoveries. Whether you’re searching for a specific piece or simply enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the ever-changing inventory keeps the experience engaging.A Family-Run Treasure Hunt
Amazing Antiques Etc. is a family-owned business, and that personal touch is evident in the way the shop is curated and presented. The owners take pride in sourcing quality antiques and vintage items, often sharing stories or details about particular pieces. This sense of care and knowledge adds depth to the shopping experience, turning a simple browse into something closer to a mini museum visit. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with staff who are happy to answer questions or help track down something specific, making it accessible to both seasoned collectors and those new to antiques.Practicalities and Visitor Experience
Located in Langley Moor, just minutes from the historic city of Durham, the shop is easily accessible by car and sits within a modern business park setting. The interior is well-lit and organised, with wide aisles that accommodate comfortable movement even on busier days. While the shop is large, a typical visit can be comfortably enjoyed in under an hour for focused browsing, though those with a keen eye for detail may easily spend several hours exploring every corner. The pricing is generally considered reasonable for the quality and rarity of many items, making it a rewarding destination for those seeking characterful pieces for the home or as gifts.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
