The Firs Antique Fair Finds a New Home in Rosebank

One of Johannesburg’s long-running antique and vintage fairs has relocated.

The market, previously hosted at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, now takes place at The Firs in Rosebank.

The move keeps the fair within the same broader commercial hub of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, but places it in a more café-driven, pedestrian-friendly setting.

Visitors can still expect the same core offering: vintage goods, collectible items, and second-hand fashion pieces curated by established dealers.

What You’ll Find at the Fair

The Firs Antique Fair brings together a mix of local collectors and vintage traders.

The focus is on pre-loved, collectible, and historically styled items rather than mass retail goods.

Typical offerings include:

• Vintage fashion and accessories
• Jewellery and costume pieces
• Antiques and small collectibles
• Designer-inspired or preloved handbags and accessories
• Millinery and handmade fashion pieces
• Small artworks and locally produced craft items

It’s the kind of market where browsing matters as much as buying, and items are often one-offs or in limited supply.

The Venue: The Firs, Rosebank

The fair is held at The Firs, a retail and dining center in Rosebank.
The location supports a full-day visit, with cafés and restaurants nearby for visitors who want to combine shopping with leisure time.

It’s a more contained and structured environment compared to open-air market spaces, which suits both traders and collectors who prefer a more curated setup.
