Authentic Antiques in Cincinnati Ohio

City Mouse Antiques is located in Cincinnati,Ohio and specializes in 18th and 19th Century American, English and French antiques.

Inez and Nan met in 1995 while part of the all volunteer Wellness Community core team that helped create “Legacies”, a shop which sells high end furniture, artwork, antiques and household items. The proceeds from this shop are donated to the “Cancer Support Community”, (formerly Wellness). They were asked to join this team because of their individual backgrounds in the antique business, lending their expertise in identifying and pricing antique items for sale. When they learned they both had small antique businesses, with Inez leaning toward country style and Nan favoring a more formal city look, the two combined interests and formed “City Mouse-Country Mouse Antiques”.

Nan personally selects every item in their inventory and guarantee the condition and authenticity of all that they sell. City Mouse offers a wide variety of antiques, attracting both the experienced and emerging collectors. If a customer needs guidance on where to place an antique in their home, Nan is happy to offer their advice free of charge. With more than 30 years experience, City Mouse  has earned a reputation for honesty, integrity and good value.

Great quality and selection of well-curated English antiques. The ladies have a lot of work and time in acquiring them and always keep very fair prices. I have a beautiful painting from them.

My all-time favorite antique shop. The owners are wonderfully accommodating. I purchased a 19th-century dining table and chairs set and couldn't be happier. The quality was spot on and my guests compliment me every time they come over...I can't wait to come back for more great stuff.
