Classic Antiques Sydney is recognised for being one of the the best and longest established family antique dealership in Sydney. Phyllis May Loughran who was a woman of great style started as a women's fashion designer and retailer with her cutting edge designs from her House of Tomorrow during the 1950s and early 60s and then due to her pashion for quality antiques opened Gaslight Antiques in a charming Victorian heritage cottage on historic Glebe Point Road, Glebe in 1962. Trading there for years before moving to a larger and more prominent two storey corner premises also on Glebe Point Road.

Then a move to the Eastern Suburbs to the newly opened Woollahra Galleries on Oxford Street for 5 years before relocating to Queen Street Woollahra and helping to pioneer what was Sydney's most prestigious and internationally recognised antiques shopping strip for over 25 years before the business moved to very large showrooms in Camperdown opposite Sydney University for 16 years before securing a large warehouse at Lewisham in the Inner West in 2017. In the main our collection represents English furniture from the later Georgian period through to the end of the Victorian period - 1750 to 1901 and is supplemented with French Antiques plus Decor items including Clocks, Statuary, Lamps, Mirrors, Boxes, Collectables and some Oriental pieces.

Now trading as Classic Antiques Sydney the business is run by Phyllis's son ( ex Interior Designer and Landscape Designer ) Peter who is one of Australia's most experienced and respected dealers in ‘fine quality’ Antiques.

All stock is personally and individually selected by Peter based on its age, quality, style, origin, genuineness, materials, provenance, condition and value. We have long been a preferred destination for many of Sydneys and Australias leading Interior Designers, Decorators and Stylists in their constant search for that individual and special antique piece to decorate peoples homes and commercial applications. Our stock is frequently hired and featured in films being produced in Australia, Magazines, Television Shows, Commercials and prestigious Social Functions.

Our reputation for quality is paramount and we pride ourselves on having sourced all our stock within Australia with a large proportion coming from important private collections and public institutions which reflects our interest in period design and architecture. Due to the large size of the collection we can only show a small amount of our inventory on this website so we invite you to visit our warehouse.
