Looking for a fur coat? I know I was and I found it here, upstairs amongst a vast array of vintage clothing. I must admit it did take me a while to find my fur, mainly because it took me so long to make it up stairs, and that's because I was distracted by the jewelery. So much vintage jewelery...you know, the stuff you used to drool over in your nanna's jewelery box when you were 6, and maybe like me, you haven't stopped drooling. The broaches, the hat pins, the hair pins, the earrings, the bracelets and the rings, it's almost too much to process; like a sugar overload. Another cool thing is that they have a hug book shelf dedicated to matchbox cars and there are so many random/ weird household items to explore! I will say that it gets slightly creepy as you delve further into the store, there's a book shed out the back which resembles a small library, this place has everything. read more

I made mention to a friend of mine one lunch time that I was looking for places that sell second-hand books, and he showed me this place. At first I was a bit baffled because there only seemed to be antiques in the store, that is until I looked out the back and found a huge collection of books. I have to admit that their books actually aren't that great, and some of them are a little over priced (such as the Enid Blyton book that they are selling for $90.00 which I ended up getting elsewhere for $10.00 - needless to say that they still haven't sold it). While the books were pretty ho hum, the collection of antiques was nothing short of awesome - everything from clothes to household furniture to toys. While there are better second-hand bookshops in Adelaide, this is a place to check out if you like antiques. read more

Antiques Market is conveniently located opposite the Central Markets, so sometimes I find it strange they don't stay open later on Friday nights. Regardless of the hours they keeps, this place is worth a visit. It is packed full of antiques - some of which are reasonably priced, some of which are very expensive. The owners - though a little gruff - seem to know their stuff, so I think the expensive stuff genuinely has collector's value. I often go here to buy gifts for friends - there is an amazing selection of vintage jewellery on the bottom floor. The display cases are packed, but I enjoy looking through all the trinkets. Apart from the jewellery there is a huge range of antique wares on the bottom floor - books, furniture, musical instruments, crockery, war mementos, clocks and a whole bunch of other oddities. Even if you aren't intending to buy something, this is an inspiring place to visit - to see the objects that populated people's lives in the past. All the colours, textures and shapes are exciting in their own right. Upstairs there is a antique toy section and a big vintage clothing section. Some of the clothes are a little expensive for me, but there is the occasional excellent bargain. There are some great hats, coats and bags up here. If you love extravagant costume nightwear this will really excite you. read more

Antique Market - Antiques Near Me - Adelaide, SA

If I'm ever in town with time to kill I head to the Antique Market. The store is a jumble of everything from clothes, to antiques, to books, to toys, and more. And when I say jumble, I mean jumble. You really do feel like this a place to explore, because you never know what you might find and where you might find it. It's not disorganised, there's just so much stuff. My favourite thing to do is to squeeze my way through the store, out the back, to the huge collection of second hand books. It's mostly classics, non fiction, and plenty of obscure books, but they're great to flick through. Of course there is so much more in the store, but you really need to explore it for yourself. read more

One of my favourite places to find new wardrobe pieces, the Antique Market has an extensive collection of vintage and antique clothing in remarkable condition. An excellent place to find furs, vintage jewellery and underpinnings, this is my go to place for that hard to find finishing touch. For those that are interested in literature the market has a comprehensive range of books, enough to rival any small library. An excellent way to spent a few spare hours, there is something for everyone hidden amongst the shelves and cabinets. read more

My Mum is in love with antiques and anything 'old' so it was the first port of call for my sister and I when looking for her birthday present. When we first entered we were immediately disorientated. The store is enormous and very, very cluttered. There does not seem to be anything that resembles aisles, there is just a huge amount of cabinets and tables loaded with items. Having said that, it is kind of half the fun just to wind your way through the store on your hunt for the perfect antique item. We were on the lookout for a couple of toys and there is a huge section at the back with every toy you could ever think of. The range of model cars and other forms of transportation is most impressive but there is also board games, figurines and general toy paraphernalia. The staff were a little odd but ultimately helpful. Most things are locked in cabinets so you have to get their assistance to browse anything and they were quite snotty about it. Having said that, the guy did inform us that a little model plane we were looking at was actually made in China and not worth al that much which was a great tip and very nice of him to tell us. Some of the toys are very expensive but we got a stuffed Goofy and a model car with a little bear riding in it (both circa 1940's) for around $50 which was a pretty good deal. And now they have pride of place among the many other toys my Mum collects. read more

Well worth it for the toy section. I've got a mate who collects vintage toy cars, like old matchbox stuff and older. Like from the days when someone might express preference for a Humber and not be mistaken for asking for a sexual favour with a slight speech impediment. So while I was killing time one day, I wandered in, went upstairs, and discovered my mate's heaven. There are some good deals, but there are also some kinda expensive things too. I'm not an expert, but I've been told what to look out for, so next time I go in, I'll have a better idea of what is a bargain and what isn't. There's some genuinely odd stuff in there, and it's a cool place to browse. read more

I had a day in Adelaide and by chance, I was passed by this store and decided to pop in. I didn't expect to stay long or to buy anything as most of these shops are quite expensive. But I ended up spending a fair bit of money and left with 4 pieces of vintage clothing! I found the prices of the vintage clothing quite reasonable thanks to the buy one, take 50% off second item promotion! Emma who worked there was friendly and helpful. If you like vintage items, you will have lots of fun just browsing and ogling at all the wonderful vintage and antique items collected over time. There wasn't as many kitchenalia or clocks as I would like (or maybe I was distracted by other things), but there was a lot of great china and clothes. read more

Make sure you've got your day free and plenty of time to while away the hours. All I can say is about dude stuff. The cool toys, books, and military antiques. Awesome. You can sense the history in the pieces just by the weathered hint in the air. As for everything else girly, they've got a plethora of jewellery, hats, dresses, and bags. Even creepy dolls. read more
