Spoke to some wonderful specialists (characters) this morning. So lovely to deal with and gave great advice. However the staff were not so nice and friendly. ...hence the 3 stars. The are for the volunteer specialists only. No stars for cranky staff.
First time in Brisbane, got recommended to visit. A short bus ride from CBD, very easy to get here. Lovely place with a ton of variety of items with a wide range of price tags. I'm not an antique kinda guy but it was surprisingly fun just to have a look, and walked out with a purchase. Plenty of places to eat nearby, plus some other fun shops like like vinyl record store down the road. Well worth visiting.
A truly enchanting journey through time, this exquisite shop is filled with rare and remarkable treasures. Each piece is meticulously curated, offering a glimpse into history and timeless elegance. Every visit is a voyage of discovery, perfect for those who treasure unique finds and the stories they carry
Been here many times. Very high variety of high quality items to choose from (ceramics and glassware, books, toys, clothing, chandelier etc.). The shop being set in an old theatre really adds to the vibe. The layout is also good, not too cluttered and kept very clean. The pricing varies depending on the seller. The customer service here is top tier best in Brissy, the staffs are very friendly and helps you with a positive attitude (shout out to Lee) This store also does monthly appraisal for your own item ever first Sunday of the month for a donation of $1 to the RSPCA per item which is really neat.
We stopped in at 12:30 on a Monday in the week between Christmas and New Years. It was busy, but not overwhelming so. There was an enormous range of carefully curated items in superb condition - no junky items. There was any type of collectible that you can imagine - painting, toys, homewares, art - as well as vintage clothing of all kinds. It was carefully laid out into little rooms, with me having a sense of expectation as I entered each new realm. The staff were super helpful and the prices much lower than I was expecting. The venue itself has a tangible sense of history, having served as a picture theatre, live theatre venue and even a basketball court! With a myriad of other shops, coffee shops and cafes nearby, this can easily be a deep and extensive day of mischief.
