Hello and Welcome to Iconic Edinburgh
Welcome from Valerie and Robert (and wee Bertie) to Iconic Edinburgh Online.
We initially started trading at our anchor shop in Edinburgh's historic Old Town, and soon established a reputation as one of Scotland's premier antique, vintage and modern collectables shops.
Our "bricks and mortar" shop has now sadly closed. However, we are delighted to offer a special and individually tailored ONLINE sales service to you. Please note: We now trade solely online.
FREE LOCAL DELIVERY IS OFTEN AVAILABLE
