WANS of The Antiques
Roadshow should iake note
that West Vancouver’s

Museum and Archives is staging
its own version of the popular
British TV show.

North Shore residents are invited to

identification and care clinic.

Two antique dealers will be on hand
to evaluate family heirlooms and acquired
pieces — Carmen Roré of Ambleside’s
Carmen Boré Antiques Ltd. and Yarrnila
Smekal of Dundarave’s Bohemia
Antiques.

Boré was trained in France, and her
expertise extends to china, silver, bronze
and French furniture and jewelry Smekal,
a native of Prague, is knowledgeable i in
small collectibles and larger pieces.

Event organizers are asking that par-
ticipants bring a maximum of two items
for evaluation. Photographs should be
substituted for large items.

Museum assistant Deborah Tuyttens
says the clinic is a great way to find out
about an antique’s origin if, for example,
you have a snuff box given to you by
Great Aunt So-and-so and all you know
about it is that it is “old.”

“Bur that doesn’t mean people can't
bring in 20th century ‘collectibles’ like
their °50s toaster,” she adds.

Obscure items may stump the experts ; a :
but collectors can still learn how to care NEWS photo Cindy Goodman

staff will explain how to care for old tex- KISTOFIC Gertrude Lawson House, at 17th and Esquimalt, is the setting for Collectibles! — West
