Sydney's best Antiques shops

David Met Nicole

This eclectic store stocks a mix of old and new furniture, clothing and homewares from Australia and the rest of the world. They're perhaps best known for their distinctive take on British style, and their astounding collection of vintage signage and charming ephemera made from rusty metal.
Surry Hills

Dust

Don't let the name fool you - the items stacked haphazardly on the shelves at Dust are often in remarkably good condition. From old movie posters to mannequins to cane chairs, Dust is not so much an antiques store as one that seems to stock the entire contents of someone's garage - in a good way.
Darlinghurst

Newtown Old Wares

Rifle through this Newtown establishment's extensive collection of antique furniture to turn your house into a pad straight out of your decade of choice. For all you cats and chicks out there, they specialise in goods from the 1950s.
