When looking to buy antiques, most collectors focus on prominent spots, like London’s Portobello Market or Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

However, some of the best finds can be discovered in small shops or flea markets around the world, write Lale Arikoglu and Mara Balagtas for Condé Nast Traveler. But they’re usually only known to professionals who scour them for a living.

Now, those pros have shared a list of their best-kept secrets all across the globe, where great antiques can be found. One of those places is the Brandywine River Antiques Market in Chadds Ford.

The Brandywine River Antiques Market is characterized by its friendly staff that is always available to answer any questions. It also has the bonus of being a one-stop shop.

According to Noa Santos, CEO of Homepolish Interior Design, the market offers one alcove of treasures after another.

He also said that, while the shop at 878 Baltimore Pike might look tiny from the outside, it actually feels like Mary Poppin’s never-ending purse on the inside.
