Mysterious Adelaide Store Packed with Vintage Lamps!

For those who find charm in the old, there's this obscure store nestled down in the heart of Adelaide, Australia. A lampland of sorts. Beautiful vintage and antique lamps all over! Such a visual delight. The owner, an elderly gentleman, mentioned that his collection comes from all over the world! Mid-century, Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau - name it, you'll likely find it! Place has got no website though. Been there myself, cannot remember the bloomin' name! Anyone from Adelaide here who knows which store I mean?

Oh wow, Adelaide and vintage lamps? Sounds like my kind of place! Wish I lived in Adelaide. If someone finds the name, please post it! Would love to check it out next time I'm there.

It appears you're referring to a store colloquially known amongst locals as 'Luminous Relics'. It is indeed a treasure trove for proponents of older, more classical aesthetics. The establishment is, regrettably, quite nondescript in terms of branding and thus conceivably easy to forget. Its charm lies precisely in this obscurity, a hidden repository of beautiful artifacts from bygone eras.

So I've just joined this subreddit and came across this post. I actually live in Adelaide! I think there's a shop near Central Market that kinda matches your description. Not sure about the name though 🤷

Mmmm, sounds like a gold mine for us designers. Unique lighting really can make or break a space. A vintage lamp can be a conversation piece, a work of art.... it's all about the ambiance it gives off, y'know? Props to this old guy for recognizing that. I'm not in Adelaide, but if I ever get there, this store's on my list for sure!

Is it called 'the Illuminati'? lol Seriously tho, could be 'Galactic Lamps' or maybe 'Adelaide Antique Lights'. Hope you find it again, mate.

Oh, how I love a good vintage store! Unfortunately, I'm not from Adelaide but this description sounds delightful. I'd love to hear more about the lamps you spotted there. Any Art Deco pieces by any chance?

Strewth, reckon' it's gotta be Lamps of Adelaide, right? Down in the old district, filled to the brim with bric-a-brac and baubles. Damn good spot for treasure hunting, mate! 🏺💡
