About

Roundabout Antiques is proudly owned and operated by the Neilsen family, parents Michael and Wendy, and their son Robert. The business is an extension of our families enduring commitment as Professional Antique and Collectables dealers, with a long history commencing business in 1983 and continuous trading since then. Health permitting, we wish to remain in this industry for decades to come - so we have very long term, enduring goals - and our committment to our customers is also enduring.

We have a wealth of experience in our chosen fields and pride ourselves on our integrity, our fair dealings, our long history in the antiques trade and our professionalism. Our in depth knowledge in our chosen field has been previously recognised professionally by our peers, in being chosen as Editor of the Alan Carters Price Guide to Antiques in Australia (Royal Doulton) and we have had numerous articles published in Antiques and Collectables publications. 

We look forward to doing business with you.

OUR MISSION

To work with astute individuals, be they advanced or beginning collectors, to construct collections where overall quality, presentation and condition are of primary importance.

OUR GOAL

To be globally recognised as the chosen source for premium collectables for astute and discerning collectors.

OUR GUIDING IDEOLOGY

Our family's enduring committment to premium quality collectables has unanimously shown us over decades, that the price of objects, in the long run, is secondary to authenticity, condition, quality and desirability. We are abhorred by misdescription, repairs, items of dubious quality (or copies), which seemingly have become commonplace in recent years.

OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU

Every item on this site is guaranteed as to condition and authenticity 100% as described, delivering the buyer the utmost confidence in every purchase made with us. We will endeavour to meet or exceed your expectations for customer service – as we are a family owned and dedicated business committed to a perfect outcome on each and every transaction.
