Antique hunting tips for Canberra

The dealers' own advice, for Canberra:

• Check for completeness at Sally Paskin's Store. Missing handles, finials, leaves, or lids crater value. Count the parts before you count the cost.
• Buy the best you can afford at Silver Spoon Antiques. One excellent piece beats five mediocre ones. Quality holds value; quantity just holds dust.
• Start with what you love. Collect what interests you, not what's 'hot'. Markets cool; genuine interest doesn't.
• Ask about restoration. Has it been restored, and by whom? Honest restoration is fine; hidden restoration is a problem.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Canberra — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Canberra can take a while to appear. The 3 above are only as current as the community map. A antique store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
