Antique store

I will stay in Paris on De La Bourdonnais near Ecole Militaire.
Are there any antique stores nearby, please? I am looking for small size pictures, prints, illustrations, china, crystal etc.

Lots of old (not necessarily antique) prints at the stalls along the Seine near Notre Dame. Or if you are in Paris on a flea-market day (Marche aux Puces) ... lots of old stuff.
Edit: according to Google, Saturday. Sunday and Monday

This is a very big topic. Goggle is a good place to start. There are brocantes, flea markets, vide greniers, all sorts of sources for finding old goodies. If you mean the actual definition of "äntique" that's usually something up in age from 80 or 100 years on. This link from the Guardian will give you some help. As this article is old in years itself, you'll have to do some verifying, remembering that treasure hunting in Paris is one of the pleasures of Paris. Serendipity.

Yes, there is Swiss Village - Antique and Art Galleries at 78 Avenue de Suffren. It is a stones throw from Ecloe Militaire.
