Hello, I am looking to read something that has an "old" art style. Something like Basara, Return, Anatolia Story, etc.
It's basically what Miura Noriko and Tamura Yumi draw.
I'm in the mood for shoujo, without the smut and all.
Thanks a lot!

These authors have similar art styles:
SAITO Chiho
AKAISHI Michiyo
And Clamp's older works such as RG Veda and Tokyo Babylon

Great! Thanks very much, I shall check them out. Anymore recommendations? Also, after looking through some of the stuff, it doesn't have to be shoujo. Josei and seinen would work too.
I'm not really a fan of manhwas and such but I'll try them out too.
(I've fallen in love with Shimizu Reiko's works.)

Today's Shimizu Reiko doesn't have old-school art anymore, unlike AKAISHI Michiyo, otherwise I wouldn't read them.
Why don't you also try ITSUKI Natsumi (her recent art has been updated though)?
I wouldn't say these look old-school but they do have '90's art (no huge eyes in case they are what you are after):
9 Banme no Musashi
Shounen Mahoushi (art updated in latest volumes)

Kanata Kara is one of my all-time favorites, and I second Glass Mask. 🙂

I second Kanata Kara and anything else by that author (Hikawa Kyouko). Miriam in particular is one of my all-time favourites.
