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.

(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.)
