Sampsons Antique Co.

Lot's of very interesting and unique antiques here, The staff are friendly and knowledgeable with no pressure to buy. The inventory changes frequently so I like to drop by often to see what's new. I recommend checking this little store out especially if you like nautical items.

Shopping at Sampson’s was a dream. The quality and attention to detail of both the pieces they stock and their customer service is exceptional. I look forward to finding my next treasure with Rob and Brittany very soon!

Sampsons Antiques Co. is the most beautifully, knowledgeably, internationally curated selections of antiquities from all era’s. Also an incredible range of wonderful jewellery/time pieces of all shapes & sizes - cared for as old & new items! Not to mention the wealth of knowledge by the Owner, who is a certified gemologist. Love the appraisals that come with most pieces!Having frequented this amazing shop on many, many occasions, over the years, I always know that I am in the most honest & genuinely interested hands, with the Owners.Every item is well looked after and fairly priced. The showroom is so amazingly and creatively set out, which demonstrates the Owners care & deep interest in their profession. Don’t really see that level of care around these days. Really appreciate & respect this.It has been, and is, a great joy to spend time in this gorgeous destination, located in an equally gorgeous part of the Lower Mainland, right by the beach! Just perfect! Nothing is too much trouble for the Owners. I look forward to many more visits to Sampsons Antique Co. A must see! Thank you for all!

Delightful antique curiosities! A must see in Victoria!!! Sampsons exceeded my expectations of REAL vintage artifacts, macabre oddities, fine jewelry, diamonds and emeralds you name it… this petite shop is packed with beautiful hand picked collections!Thank you for a wonderful experience today! My friend LOVED the Lucky sterling silver grouse foot broach, absolutely ticked and surprised!!!

I have been going to this store since it opened. The owners are lovely and very knowledgeable, the store is organized and presents all it’s treasures beautifully and the prices are accurate and fair. (This comes from someone who only shops antique or vintage. ) I have moved from the lower mainland but every single time I come back I shop here. The stock is interesting and authentic and I have yet to visit without leaving with something ... and have never regretted one purchase (even if I didn’t need it hahaha). I absolutely love this place and the people that own it.

Such a great shop! Beautiful pieces and wonderful customer service. Brittany was especially helpful and informative. Absolutely worth stopping in when you’re in the area!

I love this store! Robert has exquisite taste and has such an interesting collection of unique quality items. It is worth the drive from Vancouver. There is a lovely little cafe next door and a great place to walk by the beach in Boundary Bay a couple of blocks away. It is a perfect excursion out of the city and perhaps you will bring home a treasure.

Very friendly staff, lots of cool trinkets and bits and bops of the nautical variety as well as many antiques including several in service ships wheels! (Maybe one day pending a nice lottery lol.)The maps are cool too!

I am a delighted 1st-time customer of Sampsons, in Oak Bay, Victoria. My buying journey began when I bought a large tanzanite ring and spoke to Robert about sizing it down to fit much smaller for my hand, and he informed me it couldn’t be done and keep the rings integrity. He offered me a full refund of the amount I had e-transferred, but I decided to take a partial refund because I wanted to support his business after his prompt and ethical approach to me as a customer. I had my eyes on this stunning 10ct garnet, a stone I had viewed on his website. I bought it and was refunded the difference as the tanzanite cost a bit more. He promptly mailed me my purchase and it came with authentic documents and was exactly what I thought I was buying. A gorgeous-looking garnet and significant to me. I would highly recommend this business. For me and others, they are setting the standard high for quality. I will be glad to buy from them in the future and know that they sell securely and supply authentic products.

Got a great deal on a beautiful ring. This place is amazing
