Brisbane is one of Australia’s finest cities for antique shopping. The Queensland capital combines a thriving cultural scene with a strong community of specialist dealers — and the result is a surprisingly rich network of antique shops in Brisbane and the surrounding region. From a beautifully restored heritage cinema in Camp Hill to a sprawling converted wool warehouse in Teneriffe, each of the destinations below offers something genuinely distinct. Whether you’re hunting for ANZAC militaria, mid-century furniture, estate jewellery or Art Deco homewares, Brisbane’s antique scene rewards the visit.
1. Southside Antiques Centre — Annerley
One of the longest-established antique shops in Brisbane, Southside Antiques Centre has been a local landmark since 1983. Run by the McGuigan family since 1986, this expansive store in Annerley has grown into one of Australia’s largest and most respected antique centres. Over 150 display cases cover an impressive range: exquisite porcelain, china, sterling silver, dolls, toys, vinyl records and furniture all feature regularly.
The Militaria section is a particular highlight — featuring ANZAC and First World War memorabilia including medals, photographs and love pins that are genuinely moving for anyone with an interest in Australian history. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and the centre offers local, interstate and international shipping arrangements. Located in a suburb with good café options nearby, it makes for a comfortable half-day visit.

2. Camp Hill Antique Centre — Camp Hill
Camp Hill Antique Centre occupies a beautifully restored former cinema — and the building’s character sets it apart from any other antique destination in Brisbane. Over 1,000 square metres of floor space houses more than 70 dealers, each carefully selected for quality and originality. Antique furniture, vintage clothing, rare collectibles and quirky homewares all feature, and the vendors are consistently knowledgeable about their stock and the stories behind each piece.
The on-site TART Café makes it easy to break up a long browse with breakfast or lunch in the midst of the browsing. In addition, the centre hosts specialist markets, restoration workshops and live music performances throughout the year, making it a genuine community hub as much as a shopping destination. For anyone spending a full day exploring antique shops in Brisbane, Camp Hill is a natural first stop.

4. Relove Oxley — Oxley
Relove Oxley is a two-storey vintage and antique destination housed in corrugated iron industrial sheds in Oxley — and it is unlike anywhere else in Brisbane. Founded by partners Jason and James, the store spans two floors packed with vintage Matchbox cars, Bakelite kitchenware, mahogany side tables, Art Deco cupboards, crystal wine glasses, vintage posters, second-hand vinyl, old-school Pokémon cards and vintage clothing. The ground floor focuses on homewares and collectibles; the upper floor covers fashion, children’s clothes and vintage toys.
The in-house coffee lounge — with red booths made from recycled pallets and an astroturf-covered crate coffee table — serves Veneziano coffee alongside homemade banana bread and Byron gourmet cakes. Relove is also a community hub for local sellers, with a number of in-store retailers including the Purple Bedroom contributing to its distinctive character.

5. Commercial Road Antiques — Teneriffe
Commercial Road Antiques (formerly New Farm Antique Centre) occupies a historic red brick wool warehouse on the edge of Teneriffe — one of Brisbane’s most characterful inner-city precincts. Thirty-five dealers have designed themed rooms across the centre, taking visitors on a journey through colonial, Art Deco and post-war furniture, militaria, silverware and vintage fashion. The original ironbark columns and timber-framed windows add to the historic atmosphere, and the changing displays mean no two visits feel quite the same.
Finds here range from deep-sea diving bells to estate jewellery and tribal art. The centre’s location in the Teneriffe precinct — surrounded by cafes, bars and historic woolstores — makes it a natural anchor for a broader afternoon in the neighbourhood. Fair prices and a strong reputation for variety make it a favourite with interior decorators, architects and set designers as well as private collectors.
📍 Where: 85 Commercial Road, Teneriffe QLD 4005

6. Ipswich Antique Centre — Greater Brisbane Region
About 40 minutes west of Brisbane in Ipswich, this centre is one of South East Queensland’s premier antique destinations. It is housed in a beautifully restored heritage-listed building dating from 1895 — and the restoration itself is worth seeing, with many original features preserved including a large cedar haberdashery counter and a late 19th-century shipping clerk’s desk by the Derby Desk Company of the USA. The centre opened in 2010 and has drawn a loyal following ever since.
Several specialist dealers operate within the space, covering Australian, country and English furniture, vintage clothing, jewellery, Australian pottery, film memorabilia and a dedicated retro room. For visitors willing to make the short drive from central Brisbane, the Ipswich Antique Centre offers one of the widest ranges of antiques and collectibles in the region.

7. Kittens Vintage Mackay — North Queensland
A note on geography: Kittens Vintage Mackay is located in Mackay, North Queensland — approximately 1,000km north of Brisbane on the Pioneer River. It is not a Brisbane day trip, but it is worth including for anyone travelling along the Queensland coast or spending time in the Whitsundays region.
The shop is owned by a passionate interior decorator with over 30 years of experience and focuses exclusively on pieces from the 1930s to the 1950s. Twelve themed rooms — from an Art Deco bedroom to a Gentleman’s Map Room — are carefully curated to evoke the period. The collection is sourced locally, supporting the community and keeping prices fair. A downstairs café serves homemade coffee and scones, and the resident cats Pip and Biscuit are a firm favourite with visitors.
