About
Fadó Antiques is situated at the busy junction of Phibsborough Road & North Circular Road, Dublin, known locally as Doyle’s Corner. This much regarded shop is a welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of this busy North City suburb. Although we have been trading in Phibsborough for 15 years, we have been in the business of buying and selling antiques and collectibles for 30 years.
Our roots began back in the late 1980’s, at the old ‘Hill Market’, on Dublin’s North Cumberland St, where in the early hours of Saturday mornings, casual traders and travelers alike would ply their wears, most items on sale having been re-cycled from Dublin tip heads, skips and house clearances. Alongside other well-known Dublin dealers we would comb through the clutter, picking out interesting/collectible bits and pieces to re-sell at our stall in the fabulous, much mourned “Mother Redcaps Market”, at Christchurch, Dublin. From there we traded for a time on Camden Street, where we learned a lot about market trends, before opening our own store on Dublin’s famous Francis Street, which has the largest concentration of antique shops in the capital. This acted as a huge educational experience for us as we increased our knowledge of antique furniture and lighting.
These days we specialise in antique crystal chandeliers, lanterns & assorted ceiling and table lights. All our lighting is hand-picked and sourced in Europe, painstakingly rewired, restored and polished to its original condition. We also stock a large selection of genuine antique furniture and miscellaneous items sourced both locally and at markets in the UK and continental Europe. Our stock is updated regularly to meet the demands of our many loyal and satisfied customers.
With thirty years’ experience behind us, we have built a trusted reputation which is second to none. Customer service and satisfaction is our top priority and the hands on personal service you’ll receive is the refreshing experience of the independent retailer!
