Welcome to Our Corner
Welcome to Kim's Corner — East London's Home of Antiques, Vintage & Unique Finds
For nearly 30 years, Kim's Corner has been East London's go-to destination for antiques, vintage furniture, collectibles, and decorative treasures. Founded in 1996 by Kim Schwarz, we've been proudly based in the heart of the Quigney since 2004 — and our passion for discovering and sharing beautiful, storied pieces has never wavered.
A Shop Unlike Any Other
Spread across three characterful old buildings connected by a grapevine-covered courtyard, Kim's Corner is as much an experience as it is a shop. Browse our carefully curated collection of vintage furniture, antiques, and collectibles at your own pace — and keep an eye out for our two resident shop cats, who are always happy to welcome visitors.
Alongside our vintage collection, we're proud to offer Fresh from the Farm — our own range of practical, modern furniture handcrafted from reclaimed materials, where sustainability meets everyday functionality.
Monthly Auctions — Online & Live
Can't make it in store? Kim's Corner runs monthly online auctions and semi-regular live auctions, making it easy to buy and sell quality secondhand goods from anywhere. Whether you're hunting for your next great find or ready to pass a treasured piece on to a new home, our auctions are the place to be.
📍 75 Currie St, Quigney, East London
