Salmagundi West
Antiques shop filled with all manner of curious collectibles
Category Commercial Curiosities, Purveyors of Curiosities
A diamond in the rough antique store in Gastown, Vancouver, filled with all manner of treasures to suit a curious palette. Think of a hidden attic in a Victorian house belonging to a life-long collector of unusual pieces; wide variety of modern curios items may also be found, including not-your-typical greeting cards.
The store is on the ground level and spreads to the basement with floor-to-ceiling postcards, watch parts, antique cameras, doll parts, spectacles, and an array of beautiful finds in as beautiful presentation stands - or behind glass.
Feel free to speak with the owner or staff as they are friendly, helpful, and happy to help you identify the many interesting finds around the store.
The best part of the store is a fantastic Chinese apothecary chest of drawers filled with donut-scented air fresheners, Japanese soaps with a bluebird motif, wall hooks in the shape of fingers, fortune telling cards, and other wonderful and whimsical curios.
