Aladdin’s Cave - I first went to the Antique Emporium in 2019 while on holidays from Queensland and spent a leisurely hour or so browsing the incredible amount of China, books and other... read more amazing paraphernalia. So this time when I was in Devonport, this was on my
list of things to do. This time my friend came with me and was equally impressed with the huge range of stock. This is not a place to call into for a few minutes so be sure to leave plenty of time to explore the huge store to do it justice

  Spend an hour, or half a day. - The Antique Emporium is one of my favourite places to visit when looking for something in particular, and also just to browse. I seem to be incapable of leaving empty... read more handed!

To fully appreciate the sheer scope of this incredible market-style shop, you need to spend at least an hour wandering through all the rooms, down the little aisles, and exploring every nook and cranny - this is where you find the gold.

John & his staff are astonishingly knowledgeable about what items they have in store, and they can find you just about anything.

As other reviewers have noted, there is a large variety in price points & the quality of items on offer, but this is part of the charm. Antique sideboard from the 1800's? Check! A book on Tasmanian rail history? Check! A copy of a Harry Potter wand? Check! Costume jewellery? Check! It's really a one stop shop for a carefully curated range of pretty much anything under the sun.

  ANTIQUE DOES NOT MEAN OLD/STUFFY/PAST IT'S USED BY DATE. - Most dictionaries describe antique as 'belonging to the past' / 'not modern' / 'bygone era goods and products' - and i have no doubt many people would accept these descriptions... read more and move on to the next new 'thing' that might attract them - but to step inside this amazing alladins cave of remarkably well presented/organized 'old' treasures is almost akin to being transported back in time to appreciate a multitude of previous eras all within the same building without the at times 'fustiness' of a museum - my own personal objective was to access an incredible 'stash' of ''outdated' paper road maps from a number of countries i plan to visit and was well rewarded with the choice of selection at extremely fair prices - unfortunately due to needing to catch a flight home i could only spend a short while in this fabulous place but the next time i visit my son in melbourne i plan to catch the ferry to devonport just to spend a decent few hours checking out all the other gems this charming place has to offer = an 'oldie'[?] but certainly a 'goodie' [google it!!].
