Your Trusted Source for Unique Antiques in Jordan, Ontario
For four decades, Creighton House Antiques has been a trusted destination for collectors and decorators seeking unique historical pieces. Founded in 1979, our shop became renowned for its curated selection of furniture, lighting, and decorative objects spanning multiple eras. My husband Jowe Creighton, whose passion for antiques drove our business, built an extensive inventory through meticulous sourcing and relationships with collectors across North America. Our commitment to quality ensured every item met rigorous standards for authenticity and craftsmanship.While we no longer acquire new inventory following Jowe's passing in 2019, our remaining collection continues to offer exceptional pieces for discerning customers. We take pride in our reputation for knowledgeable service and helping clients discover antiques that perfectly complement their spaces. Our shop's closure marks the end of an era, but our dedication to preserving history through fine antiques remains unwavering. This transition reflects both personal loss and the natural evolution of a family-run business that has served the community for generations.

Our collection focuses on furniture and decor from the 1920s-1940s including beds, chairs, lighting fixtures, and decorative storage pieces with original craftsmanship characteristics.
Can you help with antique restoration?
While we don't provide restoration services, we offer guidance on maintaining original finishes and suggest appropriate care methods for purchased pieces to preserve historical integrity.

Beautiful place, I think it is permanently closed. Nice area, I bet it was a nice place for antiques at one point.

This was a lovely woman who had her own stuff in a garage by her house. She was so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

We love Creighton House Antiques and have purchased several high quality and very affordable pieces. Pauline and Joe are very helpful and lovely people. They are open to negotiation (especially with multiple items) and they have a great eye for nice pieces. We recommend them frequently to friends. We are often complimented on our finds from Creighton House. Thanks Pauline and Joe!!
