Antique hunting tips for Port Alberni
The dealers' own advice, for Port Alberni:
- Check the jewellery case carefully at Blinking Star Antiques. Estate jewellery can be excellent value. Ask about stones, metal content, and whether anything's been replaced.
- Learn the local estate rhythm at Not Yet An Antique. Estate clearances feed the shops. Ask when fresh estate stock typically arrives.
- Patina is value. Original patina on metal and wood is desirable. Over-polished pieces have lost something irrecoverable.
- Condition is everything. Original condition beats restored, and honest wear beats damage. Learn the difference before spending real money.
