A Space to Call Your Own

Open Your Own Antique Store — Without the Overheads

The Canberra Antiques Centre offers dedicated retail spaces within our established Fyshwick showroom. As a store holder, you curate and stock your own display area while we handle the venue, foot traffic, staffing, and transactions — seven days a week.

Whether you're an experienced dealer looking for a permanent retail presence, a collector ready to turn a passion into income, or a small business looking to cut overheads — we provide the platform, the audience, and the support to help you succeed.

Is This for You?

Store Holding Suits All Kinds of Sellers

You don't need a shopfront or years of experience — just quality stock and a love for antiques, vintage, or collectables.

Established Dealers

Expand your reach with a permanent retail space in a high-traffic venue — without the cost of running your own shopfront.

Passionate Collectors

Turn your hobby into a side income. If you've been buying at auctions, markets, or estate sales — now you can sell to an audience that's already here.

Small Business Owners

Lighten the load of rent, utilities, and staffing. Our venue is open 7 days — your stock is selling even when you're not here.

What You Get

Everything You Need to Start Selling

We've built the infrastructure so you can focus on what you do best — sourcing, curating, and displaying your stock.

Dedicated Display Space

Your own stall, cabinet, or floor area within our spacious showroom. Arrange and merchandise your stock the way you want — it's your space to brand and personalise.

Open 7 Days a Week

The Canberra Antiques Centre is open every day. Our on-site team handles all customer sales, enquiries, and transactions on your behalf — you don't need to be present.

Online Storefront

Every store holder gets their own page on The Auction Barn website with product listings, photos, and descriptions — reaching buyers across Canberra and beyond.

Marketing & Foot Traffic

Benefit from our social media presence, quarterly market days, regular auctions, and an established customer base built over 18 years of trading in Fyshwick.
