Skip overpriced tourist antique shops. Every Saturday there's a proper flea market at Buštěhradská where locals sell genuine family heirlooms and communist-era pieces.

Best finds happen 7-9 AM before other dealers grab everything valuable. Found amazing Czechoslovak glass set for 500 CZK that tourist shops would charge 2000+ for. Bring cash and be ready to haggle respectfully.

Vendors know the actual history behind their pieces. Much better than mass-produced 'vintage' stuff in Old Town souvenir shops.
