Barclay's Antiques & Collectables

Housed within the Emerald Bank complex on the Goulburn Valley Highway at Kialla, this is among the largest antiques dealers in the district, a barn-sized space that June and Frank Barclay have stocked over four decades in the trade. The floor runs to furniture, indoor and outdoor pieces, cabinets of coloured glass, vases and kitchenware, old signage, dolls and teddies, and shelves of secondhand books. It trades seven days a week, part of a cluster of visitor businesses south of Shepparton that also takes in a nursery and market grounds. For collectors and browsers working the Goulburn Valley, it is the standing destination for pre-loved and period pieces, the kind of rummaging that rewards a slow walk through cabinet after cabinet.
