Bazaar or bizarre..... nope, definitely says Bazaar over the door…read more Wander in and you are greeted by such an eclectic collection of odds and ends its hard to know where to start. There is a bit of everything here from modern fishing rods to Georgian furniture. The overall feeling is of a shop that has been there for so long that it has sort of collected or inherited its stock and perhaps the owner just opens the place up every day because that's what he has done for the last 40 years....not so though! Harold's Bazaar has been in situ for a mere 2 years and this fact alone makes it worth wandering in to.

If you love antiques and old junk this is the place for you. Tom the owner is such a nice and…read moreknowledgeable man. His shop is tiny the packed with so many inexpensive treasures. You can browse in here for hours. He has fabulous stuff from all over. I warn you you will get a bit dusty and dirty. But it was absolutely worth it.

When I was a kid, visiting my grandma, I was always so excited about her big, brown clock. Even…read moremore excited than about the milk and cookies I knew would be waiting for me in her kitchen. In the memory, her clock was the biggest one in the whole wide world. The centrepiece of her livingroom, standing there all old and dignified. Tik-tak, tik-tak, that sound would make me stand still and silent for what seemed like hours. I got the same feeling of excitement when I entered Timepiece on Patrick Street. It was like stepping back in time. The shop is jam-packed with antique clocks in all shapes and sizes. Beautiful wooden ones, just like my grandma's, as well as metal case clocks. These amazing treasures come with a price, but even though you can't afford one right now, it's still fun to have a look around.

On the Late Late Toy Show this past Christmas there was a little boy who was featured in the…read morereading section. At a very precocious age he had become obssessed with clocks. He said he was a huge fan of horology. Now I'm way older than him and I had no idea what a horologist was, that is until I entered Timepiece antiques. In case you haven't caught on yet, horology is the art of measuring time. This is something that Timepiece has taken to the max. If you're not afraid of 'closing walls, and ticking clocks', but instead you love the sound of time passing this shop is your nirvana. If you're looking for that special timepiece to make your room complete then you'll be overwhelmed with the amazing selection they have here.

While not the biggest fan of the new shop, this place is an old family favourite. If I go in, and…read moretell them my name, they will immediately ask after my aunt, my mother, my granny and my great-aunt. Not that they shop here often mind, it's rather too posh for that, but it's the kind of place it is. A proper family jewellers, with father and daughters on staff and expert advice on hand. They're friendly (trying to get away can be a problem) and their stuff is only divine.

OMG! This shop is just amazing and they have wonderful staff! There's actually two stores,…read moreadjoining each other, and they sell different kinds of stuff (€€€ wise), hence the split. In the first store we went to, Ken was amazing! He showed us silver cups from 1750 and he described how they would have been made by candlelight. His description was so evocative of their history, he just bought a piece of inanimate object alive! Seriously- he needs to have his own TV show! I also spotted some authentic Victorian jet jewelry from the 1860s (Queen Victoria made it famous this stone famous in her mourning for Albert, and Ken told us the history of his elder brother too!) Just throughly enjoyed looking at such beautiful jewelry and if you have spare change, recommend coming and checking this shop out! Yelp 99/ 2019

What an strange wee shop this is with a collection of odds and ends; some really nice pieces but…read moremost seem to me to be...well, tat I guess. However please note that I know absolutely nothing about antiques and all these mis matched garish bits of glass are probably worth a fortune to classier folks than me. The nice bits as far as I can see (and therefore probably worth very little indeed) are the silver bits and pieces - wee spoons and jars. And now folks for the question of the century, what in blazes is the thingy in the window clearly made of silver and pointy of ivory - pic attached, answers on a postcard....

Much to my delight the selection of vintage men's jewelry in store was huge! I never see this level of estate jewelry in the states. I tried on many beautiful rings before deciding on a gorgeous 18k gold cats-eye cabochon ring, the price was reasonable and the service was top notch. I will definitely return on my next visit to this fine city. Also the location of this shop is incredible, there are multiple estate jewelry shops, merchants and restaurants, it's definitely worth checking out.

Unfortunately didn't see the perfect gift to purchase , but was a lovely experience and will call back next time I'm in Dublin for sure ,
