Features & Highlights
Detailed Information
The Antiques Boutique
The Antiques Boutique works a corner of Baddeck's Chebucto Street that most gift shops cannot: it sells things that are properly old. The multi-dealer centre at 508 Chebucto Street keeps British and Canadian furniture, vintage jewellery, militaria, china and collectibles turning through its cases, priced per item and rotating as estates turn over. Its 5.0 Google rating reflects a shop where browsing is the point. Owner Lisa Holt-Jones runs the counter, and the multi-dealer inventory turns over constantly, which is what gives the place its repeat local following.

Baddeck's gift-shop strip can feel interchangeable; this is the one store on Chebucto Street with genuinely old things in it. Multi-dealer stock means the floor plan rewards a slow loop — jewellery and militaria in one case, Nova Scotia glassware and china in the next, a wall of used books, and furniture that rotates as estates turn over. Prices are marked per item; there is an appraiser on site for jewellery, and the shop buys scrap gold and silver if you are clearing out rather than collecting.
