I've had a couple of occasions to deal with Ron Forbes, proprietor of Applewood Antiques on Fort…read moreSt. He comes across as a very sincere and honest dealer. He paid us a house visit and spent over an hour with us looking at our family's estate items and giving us free advice. As one of the few remaining antique dealers in downtown Victoria, we chose to sell to him when the time came to let go of some of our family possessions. I consider him to be a super good guy, and it was truly a pleasure to have met and dealt with him :-)

Hi I loved this place until the new owner took over…read more She is rude and money hungry. You feel like your getting ripped of immediately. The old owners were friendly and had better antiques at reasonable prices. (Now there is a lot of costume jewelry and junk) It's too bad the the new owner ruined the business. Very disappointed!

I had dealt with him before & found him pleasant so this completely took me off guard. He was brusque, condescending I would have stormed out after he kept repeating himself & trying to educate me on the inferiority of my items except said items were spread out over a table & trolley. Impossible to escape! Fire this guy, he is arrogant & unprofessional!

You know how you find - on rare occasions - a gem of a place that no one seems to know about and…read moreyet you don't understand why, and the next fear you have is that if no one knows about it no one will shop there and eventually they will disappear? Yeah. That's this place. Panache calls itself a home decor consignment shop, and appears to have been in business for about a year. They have no web presence to speak of and seeing as neither their business cards, their signage, or the couple ads I found online actually say what they do it's a wonder that anyone goes there at all. But here's the secret: this little consignment shop? A store full of carefully curated vintage furniture and housewares, at literally thrift store prices. We stumbled on this place by accident - we were hitting every shop in Victoria that might remotely have had anything vintage or antique within its walls, and we just happened to drive by this place and slammed on the breaks for a chair we spotted out front. Walking in I could't believe my eyes when I started to look at prices... two original 1888 upholstered banquet chairs from London in good condition, $140 for the pair (a crazy steal, and they are now around my dining table). Serving dishes with pristine bakelite handles for $5. A cute glass cake stand for $7. I've paid more at Value Village for similar pieces, and this place is full of finds like these. I told the owner that he was underpriced. He told me to tell EVERYONE. The business side of me wants to sit him down and help him to actually be profitable, the rational side of me says he's probably not going to listen to a random girl who walked in off the street so all I really can do if I want to go back is to help ensure he stays in business. So - there you have it, folks. Go treasure hunting!

I was extremely disappointed in this business.

Especially since they were all from different jewellers and time periods. I found being at Old N Gold an awkward experience and funnily enough went round the corner and sold all the rings to a different jeweller who professionally assessed them and paid me the current gold price. I will never cross the doorstep of Old N Gold again, an awful experience.

Makes me feel horrible for nothing.
