There is something soothing about wandering around an expansive antiques showroom, browsing through the shelves and cabinets chock-full of second-hand treasures. The Nudgee Road Antiques & Design Centre is one of Brisbane’s most comprehensive antiques showrooms and has been operating since 1985. The centre is owned and operated by Catherine Ricketts and Kevin Parker, who both have extensive careers in valuations, antiques consulting and collecting. The centre boasts a large range of Oriental furniture, art, ceramics, artefacts and more, wrought and cast iron fixtures, marble and stone statues, lights and chandelier as well as a large European furniture collection. The staff at Nudgee Road Antiques & Design Centre can offers advice on antiques and valuables.
