Begin your antique search in Perth at one of these top 5 antique stores.
  • Louis' Antiques - 83 Nanson St, Wembley - (08) 9383 9239
  • Although Louis XVI died under the blade of a guillotine in 18th century Paris, his spirit travelled south into Wembley 35 years ago, creating an antique aura at Louis' Antiques. The eras, styles and categories of antiques on display in this vast showroom are overwhelming, but you'll soon feel at ease as you're drawn closer to the lovingly restored collection.

    A pair of experienced restorers, as though plucked from Paris by King Louis, have prepared the European and British furniture, with highlights including bergère armchairs, Louis XV writing desks, refectory, vigneron and coffee tables, buffets, bookcases and cabinets, crafted from oak, walnut, mahogany and cherry wood.

    Louis' Antiques is open Monday to Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.
  • JB Military Antiques - 2/135 Russell St, Morley - (08) 9276 5113
  • Our respect for military values and sacrifices continues to grow, with rising attendances at Remembrance and ANZAC Day commemorative events.

    Own a piece of this history, selected from JB's comprehensive range of military memorabilia, matched by the encyclopaedic knowledge of the staff. Whether online or in-store, discuss your requirements and they'll help you sort through the history, whether Aussie or in a foreign defence force.

    It's always best to visit antique stores to browse the full range and discuss your queries with staff, but their website is a good starting point for finding your specific medal, uniform, sword, flag, badge, helmet, book or deactivated weapon.

    Recent highlights have included a WWI British Army parade jacket, WW2 German Police Officer's uniform, 1830s flintlock pistol, and a Distinguished Conduct Medal, awarded to an Australian Light Horseman during WWI, valued at $20,000.

    While other stores interstate may offer similar selections, the price and service make JB's the best military memorabilia store in Australia.

  • Treasure Chest Salvage - 9 Bowen St, O'Connor - 0401 930 351
  • Just as gold prospectors need to fossick through the mud to extract golden nuggets, and Indiana Jones needed to dodge snakes, spiders and Cate Blanchett to recover ancient marvels, you can delve into O'Connor, salvaging through bargains to find your own personal treasure.

    The store and yard is packed tighter than a hoarder's home, filled with the exotic, kitsch and curious. There are bargains amongst the chaos, including books, furniture and homewares.

    Amusing items in the vintage shop include heavy bakelite telephones, trustworthy typewriters, 1960s tricycles and coins from the 19th century.
