Discover Auld Curiosities
Welcome to Auld Curiosities, your online destination for unique antiques, curios, and collectables in Dunedin, New Zealand. We're passionate about sourcing quality items that reflect our broad interests, and we're committed to providing a great shopping experience.
Our Unique Collection
Everything that I source reflects the breadth of my interest. I hope too that it shows the care I have taken to offer quality and attractive items. I clean and as required and I will undertake some restoration. It is my personal preference to avoid the use of sandpapers, varnish and harsh chemicals, preferring to maintain the patina and the history of items that have maintained their integrity through the ages.
Luxury and Bargains Combined
I believe that there doesn't have to be a deep cleft between a luxury and a bargain buy. I truly believe that I can offer items that show their longevity and also offer greater variety and attraction to the mass produced items of today.
A Diverse Range
Because fashions change it is difficult to name one group of items as being the most sought after. I consider I am offering a more generalist range to cope with the vageries of fashion changes.
