Antique hunting tips for Saanich

The dealers' own advice, for Saanich:

• Check for woodworm (honestly) at Funk & Junk Antiques. Old furniture sometimes has it. Look for the telltale holes, ask the dealer, and know it's treatable but real.
• Don't refinish good pieces at P.A. Antique Mall. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.
• Bring measurements. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.
• Beware the reproduction. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Saanich — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Saanich can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 6 that's closed, or a great antique store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 6 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
