Welcome to the Moorabool Antique Galleries website.
We stock Australia's largest range of genuine Antique Ceramics,
with early English & European pottery & porcelain alongside
glass, silver, artworks, and tribal & antiquities.




We are pleased to present our updated & improved site.
Here you will find a good portion of our vast stock listed, and we are working to complete the listings and photographs. There will be over 5,000 items in total..... Please feel free to browse or search, and if you cannot find what you are looking for, drop us an email and we will see if we can help.
While many items do have images, if you find something that has yet to be illustrated, use the 'request image' facility and we will get the images off to you as soon as possible, as well as updating the web page.

With the opening of the new Ring Road, we are now just 4 sets of traffic lights from Melbourne - 45 minutes!
The simplest & quickest route: take the M1 to Geelong, don't turn off to 'Geelong City' but continue on the new by-pass until the B140, signposted 'Hamilton/Newtown'. Turn left (Newtown) and stay on this road without turning - onto Aberdeen Street, then four sets of lights later you will pass over the old Highway in the center of Geelong, onto Ryrie Street, and we are immediately on the right. Use our Free car park.

An Exciting discovery: 16th century Flemish Old Master.

A recently purchased Old Master work , this oil on panel dates to the early 16th century. From the studio of Joos van Cleve (1480-1541), it is a remarkable piece for its sincere, humanizing portrayal of Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child, having a visit with the 'in-laws' - Anne & Joachim, Mary's parents.
This work is apparently unrecorded in recent literature. Read more about it here, or look up the stock entry here.
