Antique hunting tips for Castlemaine

A few things worth knowing before you work through Castlemaine's antique stores:

• Check the jewellery case carefully at Barrow Boy Traders. Estate jewellery can be excellent value. Ask about stones, metal content, and whether anything's been replaced.
• Visit regularly at XXXX Antiques. Stock turns over as estates come in. The regulars see the good pieces first — be a regular.
• Learn to spot married pieces. Furniture assembled from mismatched parts — 'married' — is worth far less. Check that everything matches in age and style.
• Keep receipts and records. For anything valuable, keep the receipt and the dealer's description. Provenance starts with you.

Good to know

We searched about 15 km around Castlemaine — 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 Castlemaine can take a while to appear. The 2 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 2 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.
