Commercial Road Antiques

Brisbane


Whether you're on the prowl for a Victorian dresser, a mid-century armchair or a '60s beatnik frock, chances are you'll find it in this warren of eclectic antiques and retro. There's a solid selection of vintage threads and jewellery, no shortage of porcelain (including Chinese antiques), plus kookier items ranging from retro toys and film-themed postcards to the odd Burmese marionette.
