It seems antique shops are harder and harder to find in Montreal, but for many decades, André L'Écuyer Antiquités has lived on Notre-Dame Street West. Key to owner André L'Écuyer’s success is his store’s distinctive focus: “It is a very masculine space. I stock items that have to do with travelling and escape, such as luggage, trunks and even zebra skins. People who come in here mention its unique atmosphere.”
André believes that it is that very specific personality that has kept André L'Écuyer Antiquités in business for so long. Over the years, he has honed his eye for quality and aesthetics and is put to good use whenever he visits an estate sale or flea market.
