Sadie Ann McMurray Antiques

Dealers in antiques typically handle furniture, china, glassware, jewellery, and smaller collectibles, with pieces ranging from affordable finds to investment grade items. Knowledgeable owners and staff can speak to an item's era and provenance, which turns shopping into a form of education. Many buyers come looking for something specific, a style or a memory, while others discover pieces they did not know they wanted. In Mission, BC, antique stores also connect residents to the region's past, since pieces often surface from Fraser Valley estates and family collections. Each object arrives with a story attached, whether spoken or imagined. Antique shopping also suits the sustainability minded, since furnishing with older pieces keeps well made goods in use and out of waste streams. Collectors appreciate that a local dealer saves them trips to auctions and estate sales elsewhere in the valley. For Mission households, a nearby source of characterful pieces changes how a home gets furnished, one find at a time. Houses built on finds have soul.
