With a thriving a vibrant antique scene that would rival any Antique Roadshow, Dallas is solidifying its place among the best cities for aged specialty items. However for those of you wondering, there is still no antique store in Dallas that sells Dirk Nowitzki’s goatee. But that doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy the finest in antique shops in the area.

The list of great antiquing begins at the Forestwood Antique Mall in North Dallas. From finely crafted furniture and boxes, to beautiful brass lighting fixtures to pottery, the store leaves nothing to the imagination. The Antique Mall also has a unique collectables section that includes such charming oddities as alabaster eagle book ends, a 1930’s 60 MM camera and a rare basket-like children’s cart. Located inside the Mall is the welcoming and charming Forestwood Garden Tearoom. So after you’re done with your rigorous shopping, you can enjoy some of their signature Daniel’s Strawberry Cake that tastes like a magic sponge dipped in world peace. Plenty of other made-from-scratch treats are available to entice and satisfy!
Should you have the desire to visit the Mall but don't happen to live in Dallas, their website has that taken care of for you. Combining the best of both worlds, the ability to shop online paired with the fun and excitement of antiquing is something you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. But those in the Dallas area know that antiquing at the Mall in person just can't be beat. From tasty treats, to a live pianist on the weekends, to seasonal storewide sales, the Forestwood Antique Mall is a great place to be 7 days a week. It's rare that one location can be so ideally suited for gift shopping, bringing folks from out of town, spending a quiet afternoon to yourself, or shopping for furnishings and accessories for the home. The Mall even provides expert repair for jewelry and clocks! And if you're looking for the perfect something (you'd know it when you see it), contact the friendly folks at the Mall to describe what it is you're seeking, and they'll help you look for it and get it if they find it. Something for everyone is a saying that gets passed around a lot, but the Forestwood Antique Mall found a way to embody that saying.
