Victoria is known around North America as a great spot to search for quality antiques, particularly those of British origin. Because of this City's special links with England, and its status as a pre-eminent retirement centre, Victoria has always attracted citizens who own exceptional collections of porcelain, furniture, silver, jewelery, and objects art.
"We get customers from all over the world," says Heather Graham-Dickson, current owner of the shop her grandmother started. "A lot of people find Victoria a more pleasant place to shop than Vancouver", she adds. "The traffic is nowhere near as bad and all the shops are clustered together here on Fort Street."
Finally, in the interest of guilt-free shopping, we'd like to point out to Americans that antiques certified to be over 100 years at age are duty free.
On other purchases, the duty free exemption is $400 U.S. per person for a stay of 48 hours or more. Family members, including infants, are allowed to combine their personal exemption. A flat 10% rate of duty is applied to the next $1,000 worth of merchandise.
