Up Market

This little gem of an antique shop absolutely must be one of the most delightful places I’ve stumbled upon in recent times. My friend and I were having a bit of a wander in Shipley, as we’d gone to buy some material from the nearby haberdashery, and decided to have a bit of a browse and some lunch. Literally just next to the market, which is a bit strangely situated down underneath pavement level, stood Up Market.
As soon as you enter, once you’ve stopped staring at the delightful items in the window display, you’ll be wowed by the stuff inside. It was a treasure trove of fantastic rocking chairs, awesome fire place accessories, quirky chairs, old school tables and writing desks. Mirrors and old picture frames galore. Sweet little boxes and an exuberance of other perfect knick-​knack gifts lie within.
We were left to browse without feeling pressured to purchase anything and as we looked around we noticed that the prices were so reasonable! I’ve not been to a more reasonably priced antique and vintage shop in Leeds — with the exception of Poverty Aid! Whilst there may be larger shops to browse, this one had some truly unique pieces at much less than expected.
I’m hoping to slowly furnish my house here and can’t wait to go back for another browse — it’s a fantastic place!
