Southside Antiques
Annerley
Southside Antiques in Annerley is one of Brisbane's largest antique centres spread over two massive levels, filled to the brim with antique, vintage, retro and collectable items.
News update: After almost 40 years, owner and esteemed antiquarian Rhonda McGuigan will be retiring and closing Southside Antiques in late 2024.
Perched on Ipswich Road, this iconic antiques centre has been in operation since 1986. It is renowned in Brisbane for its variety, quality and quantity of antiques and collectables, with a number of long-established and highly-experienced antique dealers and collectors setting up shop here.
Inside, there's something for everyone with over 150 cabinets crammed with English fine china, Australian pottery, Russian silverware and more. There's kitchenalia, retro fashion, jewellery and antique toys.
You'll find collectables from bank notes and coins to postage stamps, plus paper goods such as vintage postcards, magazines and comic books; while high-quality antique furniture ranges from Victorian mahogany dressing tables and Art Nouveau silky oak sideboards to 1920's cedar desks.
In addition, Southside Antiques has an especially large militaria section with a range of Anzac and World War I memorabilia: medals, uniforms, photographs, sweetheart pins and much more.
