What counts as an antique store in Lethbridge

A shop dealing in genuine antiques and vintage goods: furniture, jewellery, collectibles, ephemera. What doesn't count: the 'vintage-style' homeware chain, and general second-hand shops (those live on our thrift pages). The bar is a real dealer in real old things.

Lethbridge sits about 50° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is prime antiquing season: estate clearances peak, the shops are full of fresh stock, and there's nothing better than a slow browse on a grey afternoon.

Antique smarts for Lethbridge

No mapped antique shops yet, but the hunting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Ask about provenance. Where did it come from? The story matters for value and for your own enjoyment. Good dealers document it.
• Buy the best you can afford. One excellent piece beats five mediocre ones. Quality holds value; quantity just holds dust.
• Visit regularly. Stock turns over as estates come in. The regulars see the good pieces first — be a regular.
• Don't refinish good pieces. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.
