A Warm Welcome
Greetings and welcome! On behalf of the Wild Rose Antique Collectors Society in Edmonton, it is my utmost pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you. Our vibrant community, consisting of over 50 passionate individuals, thrives on a shared love for history, antiques, collecting, and engaging outings. More than a mere society, we're a group bound by the joy of reminiscing, recounting tales, and reveling in the allure of our cherished artifacts. Antiques, in our perspective, aren't just relics of the past. They resonate with the contemporary, reminding us that nothing in design or fashion truly starts from scratch. Initiating an antique collection is more than a hobby; it's a heartwarming journey. For us, treasure hunting is about those delightful eureka moments, and treasures are often beyond mere monetary value. It's about what evokes joy, nostalgia, and wonder. Though globally, an item is typically deemed an antique if it's a century old, here in Canada, our hearts tend to beat fondly for anything aged over 50 years. Our legacy stands tall, enriched by our heritage donations, and our proactive contributions to projects, museums, and charities across Alberta. I invite you to experience the warmth of our gatherings, participate in our monthly outings, and immerse yourself in our fun-filled events. For those keen to explore further, we proudly present curated lists of our top picks for ANTIQUE SHOPS & SERVICES and fellow ANTIQUE COLLECTORS. Should you wish to align with us or seek more information, don't hesitate to drop a line at president@wildroseantiquecollectors.ca. Warmly, Clinton Beck Appraiser & Auctioneer President, Wildrose Antique Collectors Society
