I bought two cute orange pleather chairs from them at an excellent price and they complete my little living room. Love all the things they find and if you are looking for mid-century pieces, this is the place.

Truly such a gem! This place is filled with mid century modern furniture and features lots of cool lighting. There’s TONS of fiesta ware and a wide assortment of fun glassware/bar ware too. Not only did I pick up some amazing finds but I learned a bit too! Fred is a true expert and can share plenty of facts about certain furniture styles and eras. Prices are fair and clearly well researched. Highly recommend to anyone passing through Birmingham or local.

Visited this store for the first time. The owner Fred Dyess and his wife were absolutely wonderful! Spent plenty of time looking at all the unique treasures and then chatting. Will definitely be back!

What a wonderful store! We found several things we didn’t know we needed! Frank was a big help and made great recommendations. We will be back.

Fred & Judy will help you find your next special piece of furniture! Five stars!

Lots of gems and amazing prices. Also, the owner is exceptionally kind! Right off the back he greeted us and introduced himself and made me feel at home! You never see that anymore. He was so generous too and gave my little one a gift to make him feel welcomed.

Love this place! found the perfect bedroom dresser & nightstand! The owners were absolutely lovely and gave me a great deal on the pieces I purchased. I will definitely visit often!

Fred and Judy have an excellent assortment of fine antiques with a focus on decorative lightning. Great atmosphere and personality. They were beyond helpful with suggestions of additional places to visit in the area. Looking forward to our next visit!

Super fun first time here! Eclectic grouping of furnishings and knick-knacks for all types, Fred and his wife, the owners, were super nice and very fun to talk to. Will definitely be back!

Such an incredible place! Lots of mid century modern style, fiesta ware, light fixtures, vintage glassware sets, and so much more! Very unique items and all reasonably priced. Fred and his wife were very welcoming and extremely friendly.

Not sure how I have never been to Avondale Antiques before, but I’m glad I finally found it. The owner is a friendly man who has created a welcoming shop that is filled with beautiful vintage treasures. I will be back!

The owners are absolutely awesome and so welcoming. We happened to walk in a few minutes after close and they welcomed us in and showed us all their favorite treasures and the history. If you like true antique stores this is the spot you have to check out in Birmingham.

This place is truly a vintage treasure. This antique store is the real deal. Fred and his wife are so kind and friendly. Fred immediately welcomed my husband and I into his store welcome us into his personal “man cave!” 🤣🙌🏼 He was so kind and fun to chat with. As a fellow MCM collector there is SO MUCH GOOD STUFF! If you are looking for atomic and vintage lamps, fiesta ware, and rare pieces of vintage- this is your place. My husband and I felt at home shopping here, unlike other antique malls where you are on your toes. We can’t wait to go back!

This quirky store has a great mix of mid century goodies. The chair selection alone is worth the trip and be sure to look up so you dont miss the pendant lights. Fred and Bill are both very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fred and Judy are the best! Unique finds, an abundance of great lamps and lighting fixtures, and bar ware galore!

Recently we were making a day trip to Birmingham and I called ahead to see if Avondale was open. The owner Fred engaged me from the moment we started speaking asking where I was coming from and letting me know that he would help me in anyway with restaurant recommendations, other antique stores to see, etc. it was very unusual and very welcome in this day and age. When I got to the store he remembered speaking to me and took me around the store personally. I could go on and on but it was a fantastic visit and he is definitely the perfect red carpet for antiquers.

Amazing shop. Owner is friendly and knowledgeable. You cannot find a better place in Birmingham for history and nostalgia. Truly beautiful.

The owners, Fred and Judy, are very kind and knowledgeable, and their store is filled with all kinds of unique and interesting antiques. I strongly recommend checking it out

What a find! It is a fantastic eclectic assortment of antiques and MCM. Fred, the owner, could not have been more hospitable. This is a spot, you dont want to miss.

Great place to find lighting and Fiesta ware. Fred is a wealth of knowledge.

We really loved Avondale Antiques. They have a broad and eclectic selection but best of all the owner, Fred, is a delight to talk to and provided us with top notch customer service. He has interesting stories behind many of his items as well. Highly recommend.

Really neat little place with some really cool treasures.

Wonderful owners with a really cool shop.

My husband and I went last week and were absolutely blown away with the amount of amazing quality pieces they had! The owners were an absolute delight! We are new to the area and plan to make it a monthly stop 😊 We left with a really awesome vintage shaker cup, mirror tray & my personal favorite a rattan/wicker magazine rack in near perfect condition!

Great little shop and very nice owner and employees. Have very unique and hard to find items.

Fred is a great guy and has some really wonderful items in his shop. I have bought several pieces from him over the years and he has always provided fair prices with a history of the piece I am buying. His collection of MCM is unmatched in the Birmingham area. Make sure to ask him about local restaurant recommendations too!

Interesting mid-century finds, and Fred is super pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable. The shop is a treasure trove of goodies, and I will definitely be back.

What a great little place! We just bought a house and we’re looking for some mid century modern furniture and were referred here by a friend. The shop is wonderful with a pretty eclectic mix of everything. I could spend hours in here just digging around looking at everything. The owner, Fred, is a super nice and knowledgeable guy and gave us a good deal on some furniture and referred us to another antique place for some additional furniture we were looking for. We’ll definitely be checking back in here from time to time seeing what we can find.

This shop is a must visit if you’re a fan of mid century decor. Everything is very high quality and the shop owner is extremely friendly and knows a lot about antiques and the area. Everything seemed reasonably priced, not too high or too low. It is a small shop, but with plenty of eye catching items. Will definitely visit again if we are in Birmingham!

Nice selection of antiques but limited by space. Some very intresting pieces of furniture and light fixtures. If youre looking for a piece for redecorating, give them a call - might have something to fit the bill. The owner Fred was very nice.

Very nice store. It’s small but filled with lots of great treasures, each section kinda had a little theme going which was nice. It’s very unique, you find things here that you don’t find in other places. We stayed for a while trying to look at everything but there so much that I’m sure we missed a lot. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel welcome.

Great shop full of neat items. Lots of mid-century modern stuff. Fred is very personable and helpful. Highly recommend checking out the store if youre in the area. Youll be amazed at what you might find!

We went into the store looking for a pair of vintage speakers. We didnt find the speakers, but did get a chance to speak with the owner of the store. He is a very interesting man who is plugged into the community and has been around long enough to give you the low down. I recommend going into this store for the experience. Who knows.... you may find something you cant live without.

My wife and I stopped by on the way home because we just had a bad experience at another location down the road. We walked in and felt at home. The owner was such a joy to talk with. Down to earth and never interrupted in conversation. Keep it up 👍.

Super fun store. Lots of great mid century modern pieces at very reasonable prices. My wide and I spent a lot of time in there and still managed to find pieces tucked away. Left there with lots of cool glassware and a painting! The owner, Fred, was really nice and a collector as well. Great shop.

Best antique and vintage store that I have been to. Fred had the most unique things, and he was very knowledgeable about every single one. I could have spent the whole day there. The light selection is probably the coolest part of the whole place. Absolutely loved it!

The owner greeted me and my wife upon arrival, and made the entire experience phenomenal. The store has an eclectic mix, and great prices. We were down for the weekend, and love going to unique shops like this. Fred even helped us plan the rest of our day in Birmingham. One of the best experiences Ive had in an antique shop. If youre in Birmingham its a must visit.

Doesnt look like a huge shop, but a large, high quality selection of awesome stuff. The owner was not only knowledgeable and excited to share info, but very kind and had very fair prices.Highly recommend to anyone who wants to see and purchase some excellent antiques.

Fred is the sweetest. Visiting from Raleigh and really loved this shop and the variety of treasures

Just left this amazing store. They have the most interesting items ever. Great prices and the owner is the most caring/ nicest individual I’ve met. By far the best store I’ve been to. I will be back

Really nice antique shop. Comfortable and nicely organized with mostly furniture and lighting as well as some other treasures. Wonderful hosts.

What a cool shop! It’s full of beautiful things and my mom and daughter and I could have stayed all day, chatting with the owner and looking at everything.

Love this place. Love Fred and company. Hes great, knowledgeable and fun .

This place is a treasure trove. The inside is FULL of stuff. Lots of furniture and great dishware. I liked the outdoor portion better as I am a DIY project kind of person and they had so much cool stuff. This is the place to start your search, whatever you might be looking for and more!

Fred(owner) loves what he does and it shows. They have many great items for the inside of your house. I. I bought an antique set of 1955 pink place settings that my wife is over the moon about. They also have a huge outdoor area, and I have a feeling this is going to be the place to go for your outdoor vintage patio furniture needs. I checked several stores and the prices on their outdoor patio furniture were the cheapest. Freds motto is higher volume and less profit margin. He would rather sell a lot more items at lower profit margins. I think its just because he likes to meet more people. Be careful though because you might find a great product to purchase, or you might buy something just because you like Fred. I have a feeling Ill be back soon.

Awesome shop. Its a blast to spend time exploring it. Fred has an excellent eye for authentic vintage, with a particular flair for featuring mid-century design and accent pieces. As a dealer myself, I know his prices are extremely reasonable and hard to beat.

Great Antique place.

Great place. Full of beautiful and unique items. The owner and his staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely go back.

The first time I walked into Avondale Antiques I felt at home. Great variety at great prices. Theres definitely something for everyone.

This place is great! Fred, the owner, is very knowledgeable and friendly. They have a wide selection of indoor and outdoor antiques and vintage items. Everything has great prices too!

Great mid-century selection and super helpful owner.

Avondale Antiques is not just some ole junk store! Its a marvelous collection of vintage, antique, and collectable items you will not find anywhere else in as good a condition or at as good of a price as here. Always welcomed with a smiling face and more than eager to share their knowledge of the treasures within the walls of this fun store. My suggestion is this, if you find something you just cannot live without....buy it! Because chances are the next time you walk in that treasure will be gone. Dont be afraid to ask questions. the owner Fred is knowledgeable and eager to help you as anyone you will ever meet.Avondale Antiques is a bit off the beaten path from the rest of what is gong on in Avondale. But believe me its well worth the two extra blocks up 3rd Ave. South!

A place you should really take time to visit if youre looking for some Antiques and knick-knacks that are hard to find as some great prices with some wonderful people to help you out with anything that you need to look for.

Awesome place full of color and light. I bought a adorable Boston Terrier figurine from the mid 60s. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable!!! A must visit!!

Always some fun vintage finds here! Its a great place to explore, and I especially enjoy their ever-changing selection outside.

Avondale Antiques is like a treasure hunt- it has some of the coolest antiques everywhere you look! And the customer service is the absolute best; the owner was very helpful and friendly!

Great little shop. Owner is personable and knowledgeable. Prices are great.

Love this place

Gorgeous selection of mid century items. Best mid century lamp selection Ive seen in town.

Quite nice as usual. Lots of cool things to buy and Fred is great.

The Best!, was looking for studio lighting and was overwhelmed by the variety in Freds shop. Fred was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Ill be going back to purchase items for Photoshoot props.
