My addiction to craftsmanship, quality and kitsch evolved into ownership of Old Town Antique Market, formerly of Portland (next to Saturday Market for 15 years). In late March 2006 we relocated into the original JC Penney Building on Main Street in ‘Old Town’ Vancouver. Our 20,000 sf of space is comprised an eclectic collection of the rare to retro, fine art to funky treasures unearthed by our 60+ dealers at special events such as Expo, auctions, or the more mundane thrift shops, garage and estate sales.
The manufacturing of “disposable” items, often shoddily made, coupled with the skyrocketing prices of higher-end items, has led many a neophyte into the second-hand or vintage shop. The quality, craftsmanship, and often reasonably prices have persuaded many to expand their shopping horizons. The often-frustrating drudgery of shopping in an antiseptic mall-like locale is replaced with the excitement of ‘the hunt’, further spiced with the beguiling flavor of nostalgia.
Old Town Antique Market holds Appraisal Clinics. You may email me to be put on our emailing list to be notified when an upcoming appraisal clinic or sale is planned. You may contact me by email, snail mail, or simply stop by the shop any day. We are open 7 days a week, except on holidays.
