Blinking Star is a boutique antique shop, run by Canadian Antiques Roadshow expert Tony Duke. When not out working on an appraisal or taking advantage of the great fishing and prawning to be found in Baynes Sound, Tony can be found at Blinking Star researching stories and prices for the quality antiques he loves.

Tony’s specialties are in Hallmarked Sterling Silver and 18th Century Furniture, although his upbringing in the antiques trade makes him an excellent generalist. At Blinking Star Antiques you will find quality pieces, expertly described and presented at fair prices.

If you can’t make it to Blinking Star in person, you will find a good selection of our stock for sale or auction on this website. Take a look around, and feel free to ask questions.

Blinking Star Antiques is located in “Historic Downtown Union Bay”, on the 2nd Floor of the old post office. The entrance is found in the back. The store is open by chance or appointment. Book an appointment ahead of your visit by calling the shop (250-335-2255) or e-mailing Tony (AntiqueExpert@TonyDuke.ca).

If the sandwich board is out, Tony is in!
