Collectible
A collectible is a wonderful term which illicits thoughts of desire and appeal to those who care. The Centenary Centre in Newcastle provides an exciting treasure trove of collectible items. We have a large collection of collectible books and jewellery as well as furniture and smaller items. Our Tool Corner guarantees that the handyman will find many delights. Being based outside Sydney, The Centenary Centre dealers are able to offer far better value for those collectible items that antique collectors search for. Our large range ensures that a special journey to view our extensive range of collectible items is never wasted. Our cafe and museum will always add value to any visit to our centre.
Antique collectible, age and rarity are some of the the key descriptors of items of value to antique collectible collectors. Value is a relationship between the age and the quality of the antique item combined with the collectible nature of the item at a point in time. The Centenary Centre recognises this important relationship and endeavours to ensure our clients are never disappointed with the value opportunities we provide to the astute collector of antique collectibles.
The Centenary Centre offers a wide range of antique collectible items. As well as collectible art, our customers marvel at our extensive range of vintage jewellery. We also have, a desirable range of antique collectible furniture for use as decorator pieces or alternatively to be used in the manner they were originally intended. Antique collectible items make wonderful gifts and our customers can be sure to find something unusual for their most difficult gift giving problems.
Complementing our antique and collectible items are our Old Grocery Store Museum and our delectable Cafe. The museum displays a marvellous range of antique collectible items from the full service grocery days of times gone by. Our cafe is nestled comfortably under the awnings of this grocery shop and allows diners to enjoy a leisurely browse of the antique collectible items of that forgotten era.
With over 25 Shops under the one roof, The Centenary Centre provides customers a wide selection of antique and collectible items including furniture, art, ceramics, deco, retro, jewellery, glass, militaria, linen, toys, ephemera, tools, books and a huge variety of collectables from the 1780’s to the 1980’s. Our antique collectible items are displayed in such a way that browsing is encouraged and provides a delightful way to spend a few hours.
Discerning collectors of collectible items as well as fashionable home decorators will find the centre a delight. There is also an eclectic mix of modern, designer and stunning antique jewellery to complement the antique collectible treasures.
Antique collectible tools are located in our Tool Corner. This selection of antique garden and carpentary tools provides a welcome bonanza for even the most reluctant male customer who does not feel inclined to peruse the more traditional displays of antique and collectible items.
Located just behind the Crowne Plaza Hotel on the Harbour Foreshore in the heart of Newcastle, this ‘antique collectible paradise’ is open 7 days from 10am until 5pm. In fact it is very easy to access Newcastle for your antique collectible needs. We are an easy drive by car being just 2 hours by road up the F3 from Sydney which gives you the opportunity to purchase many antique collectibles and safely return home. However you can also easily transport yourself and your purchases of your antique collectibles to Newcastle by bus. The Civic Railway Station is located just around the corner from The Centenary Centre which also makes it an ideal way to access your antique collectibles in The Centenary Centre. Although you may need to organise for separate postage arrangements for large collectible purchases, Newcastle also has an airport at Williamtown just 25 minutes north of the city centre.
