Inside a storefront at 506 Beaver Street in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, the Antiquarian Shop trades less on old curiosities than on curated, high-end furniture lines that most independent antique shops never carry. The business describes itself as having spent more than 80 years building relationships with top-tier furniture manufacturers, and that history shows in the brand roster available in-house, which includes Lee Industries, Hickory Chair, Highland House, Theodore Alexander, and Made Goods, names that place the shop closer to a curated design showroom than a typical secondhand antiques dealer.
Sewickley itself is one of the western Pittsburgh suburbs along the Ohio River known for a walkable, boutique-heavy downtown, and the Antiquarian Shop’s Beaver Street location sits within that same small commercial core, making it a natural stop for shoppers already touring the town’s other home goods and design retailers. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm, giving weekday and weekend shoppers equally generous hours to browse current floor inventory or discuss a custom order with staff.
What distinguishes the Antiquarian Shop from a typical single-location furniture retailer is its second storefront in Aspinwall, on Brilliant Avenue, another Pittsburgh-area river town a short drive from Sewickley. Operating two locations under one phone line and one buying philosophy lets the business offer a combined footprint of floor space and inventory that a single shop could not match, while still keeping each location small enough to browse in an afternoon. The Aspinwall store keeps slightly different Saturday hours, open 10am to 3pm rather than matching Sewickley’s full Saturday day, a detail worth checking before making a special trip to that location specifically.
Because the shop deals in named furniture lines rather than one-off found pieces, shoppers get a rare combination of benefits: the assurance of a recognized manufacturer’s construction and materials, paired with the personal service and curation of an independent dealer who has spent decades learning which lines and finishes actually sell in this market. That model appeals to buyers furnishing an entire room who want pieces that will still look current in a decade, as well as designers working on client projects who need dependable lead times from established manufacturers rather than one-of-a-kind vintage finds that cannot be reordered.
Anyone planning a visit to either location can reach the shop at 412-741-1969 to ask about current floor stock, special orders from any of its carried lines, or delivery logistics for larger furniture pieces. In short, the Antiquarian Shop is a Sewickley, Pennsylvania furniture retailer, with a sister location in Aspinwall, offering more than 80 years of curated partnerships with premium brands including Lee Industries, Hickory Chair, Highland House, Theodore Alexander, and Made Goods.
