Who We Are

With over 45 different traders all under one roof; it's an ideal stop off for dealers and collectors alike!

The Antiques Emporium is a family run business based in Kendal, South Lakes, Cumbria. We opened in November 2014; providing a wide range of antiques, collectibles, retro, mid-century modern furniture, along with old books, paintings, kitchenalia, tools, jewellery, and industrial reclaimed / repurposed items.

We aim to provide our customers with a unique and special experience; and we're continually working on giving the Emporium it's own identity. Our traders regularly update and refresh their stock.
