Avoiding Ikea, Finding Antiques. Near Vaud

Can anyone recommend where to buy antiques (or at least old and nice) furniture near Vaud (could over the border in France). The places I've visited - even the dusty old ones in the middle of nowhere - are astronomical. Really don't want to buy any more future landfill from Ikea...

Thanks

Re: Avoiding Ikea, Finding Antiques. Near Vaud

www.ricardo.ch is the best. buying things here in the EF is also a good source of unexpensive furniture. IKEA, Landfill? I think most of their stuff is made from recycled and recyclable goods. If then a council hasn't got a facility to do that I think it is not IKEA's fault.

However I would also buy old furniture as it hardly ever devalues. Place an add here of what is it you want and maybe someone has it and don't need it anymore.
