When you want to refurnish your house but have a special antique item in mind, the best place to start your search is Dublin's Antique Quarter on Francis street, where you'll find an array of shops filled with rare and unique items.
Johnston Antiques is one of those treasure-chests, a family-run antique shop located a few steps from Oxfam Home (if your walking from The Coombe in the Thomas street direction). This shop is a good place to start browsing, as here you'll find the big stuff. Johnston stocks authentic Irish and English Georgian furniture: bookcases, drawers, marble pieces, bookshelves, cupboards and wardrobes and much more. And the staff is a real antiquepedia, filled with information about the furniture's history. read more
