About Hamilton & Sons
A legacy of excellence spanning generations
Our Heritage
Hamilton & Sons began with Isabel Hamilton's deep-rooted passion for antiques and fine collectibles. Growing up in the Burlington, Vermont area, Isabel was immersed in the world of antiques from an early age, working alongside her father who has been an antique dealer for over 40 years.
Her formative years were spent traveling to antique shows in the North East in metros like Boston and New York, learning to identify quality pieces and understand market values. This hands-on education, combined with her work in the family antique store in Vergennes, Vermont, provided Isabel with a foundation in the antiques trade.
In 2012, Isabel brought her expertise and passion to the beautiful Missoula Valley, establishing Hamilton & Sons to serve Montana collectors and families with the same dedication to quality and service that has defined her family's approach to the antiques business.
