The original granddaddy of antique emporiums in Brisbane, the Paddington Antique Centre had been operating from under the blue starry ceiling of the old Plaza Theatre since 1985. The threadbare velvet curtains, faded stage valance and Juliet balconies are the perfect accessories to the extensive cache of memorabilia, toys, furniture, rugs, jewellery, clocks, furniture, weapons, musical instruments, art, lamps that are crammed into the 1929 built picture palace. More than fifty dealers operate from the premises which regularly hosts exhibitions in the foyer.

Not only is this an incredible source of inspiration for the home designer and collectors in all of us - the shell that was a former theater is a wonderful thing to see in itself. Just look up. (Even with the often snubbish and grumpy staff, I forget and forgive everything when I look up the ceiling and all the stunning design details that remain of the old grand theater.)

Wow, this old theatre now houses a unique antique and second hand experience. Take a few hours to wonder through the amazing items on offer. A great cafe sits nestled. Only 10-15min walk. A must Do!
Huge range of all sorts of antiques and collectables and great place to go and poke around in when you have some time.
