Attic Treasures

Vancouver


A Vancouver favorite specializing in antiques and midcentury items, this retro-cool doubleroom is lined with 1950s-to-1980s furniture and treasures. Peruse the candy-colored coffee pots and kaleidoscopic cocktail glasses and save time for the back area, where bargains sometimes lurk. Much of the furniture has a Danish modern feel and there is often also sparkling Finnish glassware to make your credit cards sweat.
