When can a beautiful antique bookcase be more than a bookcase?

When you use it to display your favorite collections, like Navajo pottery, or old wooden toys, or old fishing lures. The list is only limited by your imagination.

We have a great selection of antique bookcases in our store, including 2 exceptional barristers, a small arts and crafts piece and several enclosed glass cases.

Come in and shop this weekend. It’ll be hot outside, but cool inside our climate-controlled shop.

We've been busy hunting and gathering at Missouri River Chronicle Antiques. We have some great finds you can check out Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM... 1125 Helena Ave (use Boulder Ave. entrance).

Working away in another room, we hear the friendly birdsong of the cuckoo clock in the kitchen and we just have to smile. Also in the kitchen, colorful "Harlequin," the thinner sister of "Fiesta" lends Art Deco pizazz to cabinet or table.

We can tell you about this set of quietly beautiful Franciscan "Coronado," but you really should come in to touch the silky smooth finish of this very collectable earthenware.

Other new old things include a Craftsman glass front cabinet, a vintage figural dog lamp and a rare, antique wicker buggy.

See you at the shop!

‘Tis the season of gathering, gifting and celebrating. At Missouri River Chronicle Antiques, we share the spirit of the season with hot cider and nostalgic holiday songs on Big Dorothy’s beautiful 1941 Wurlitzer jukebox.

🎄For festive holiday gatherings, we have sets of sterling and silver plate flatware, including the vintage “First Love” pattern. In 1982, the Metropolitan Museum of Art issued a Vatican-approved cold cast marble face of the Virgin Mary from Michelangelo’s “Piete”. We offer one from our personal collection. Our cases are always full of jewelry and this Christmas, we have two Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Infinity Open Cross Pendants, one 18K and one sterling.

Furniture, baskets, crocks, steins, knives, Wedgewood, postcards. More.

We’re located at 1125 Helena Ave. next to Great Harvest Bread, with our entrance on Boulder Avenue.

🎁 Special Holiday Hours: We’re open 11-3 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

We’re always buying and selling quality Western antiques and collectibles, especially those with Helena and Montana connections.

See you at the shop!
