Antiques On Second

Sure, this place has Napa prices, and at checkout were were charged $ 5 over the tag price [didn’t catch that till I got home] but this is a good collective, a hard thing to find these days. Nice variety of everything.

I absolutely love Antiques on Second and try to visit each time I’m in Napa. They feature quite a few sellers and part of the fun is to see how each one sets up their displays and themes. Right now, they’ve got a great selection of vintage Christmas ornaments that reminded me of my grandparents holiday décor. This whole shop just transports me back to a simpler time. If you’re looking for antique glassware, figurines or repurposed furniture this is a great spot. There is also an entire corner dedicated to vintage clothing and accessories.
Their layout makes it easy to get around and an all around pleasure to browse. This last time I nearly walked away with a 1940’s emerald green tall vase which was gorgeous, but not in the budget this week. Still-​it was another enjoyable visit to Antiques on Second this weekend.

One of my very favorite antique collectives! Just the right size and I always find something special. It’s my go to spot when I visit Napa. There are maybe 20 dealers and all of them have something a little different. Definitely a worthwhile shop to visit.

When ever I visit my son in Northern Ca… I always make a point to stop… I am always sending my daughter in law back for something I forgot… Love the variety, odd things and such… I look forward to my next visit!

My review of every place I went to in Napa is looooong overdue (like by almost a year eeeek). But when I was out here for my anniversary with the Boyfriend this past January, Antiques on Second caught my eye and so we made a pitstop here during our wanderings of downtown Napa.
Maybe I walked in on a good day. The saleswomen were polite enough to me when I had a question and I never felt as though they were judging me harshly or anything as I spent about an hour perusing through their store. Maybe it’s because I ended up buying the vintage suitcase from them that I had been eyeballing the entire time I was in there? Who knows.
They’re a bit pricey for what they are, but I assume it’s because you’re in Napa and things tend to run a little more expensive in wine country. I thought the store was cute and decent enough to come back to. Hopefully my experience continues to be pleasant.

So, really weird story/​experience. I walked into the store and received absolutely no acknowledgement from the owner… no problem… she was too busy talking to another employee and trashing literally every person in Napa. She talked about a person who had financial problems and had to give up family heirlooms but deserved it because they wouldn’t know expensive/​quality items if they «hit them in the face», then complained about the negative Unilocal review she received (from Unilocal reviewer Vanessa) about yelling at her kid on the phone in front of customers then said she was working with Unilocal to have it deleted. Then trash talked a customer who works at a salon nearby for not picking up a chandelier for almost 3 years. I’m not even from Napa but feel like I personally know half the town now. I’m honestly not sure if she is just cruel or was intoxicated. Either way… saw lots of things I wanted to purchase– as I frequent antique stores often– but will pass on supporting this local business.
***Update. The owner bragging to the other employee about working with Unilocal to remove negative reviews appears to valid. If you look there 7 plus reviews that are «not factored» in the overall star rating or show up directly on the main business page– all giving the owner 1 star and documenting her rude and erratic behavior.***

pretty darn expensive, probably because its napa, lots of rooms, lots of clothes too. the vibe in here kinda sucked. all you could hear was the owner on the phone yelling at her kid the whole time…

I really really love this place but the last 3 times I have been there I have left without buying anything. Not that I didn’t want to! The reason was the prices are just way to high. So I have passed on many purchases there because of the high prices. I would bet that the Downtown Napa rents are very high. Don’t get me wrong I love this place and they have tho most amazing stuff but it’s priced just way to high.

I have a special place in my heart for Antiques on Second because here is where I purchased my favorite thing in my home. It’s a huge light up BAKERY sign from a closed grocery store. I think the price on the tag was $ 225, but we were able to bargain it down to $ 150.
You’ll find all kinds of treasures here! Vintage cookware, greeting cards, teddy bears, toys, clothing, and random knick knacks. The prices are surprisingly reasonable and the employees are really sweet. It’s not the biggest antique store, but there is plenty to see.

Fun Antique Collective with a wide variety of items. A fun shop to wonder through!

Antiques On Second is one of smaller «antique malls» that I have been to but I think the prices were the most reasonable. It’s a bit out of the way for me but if i’m in the area it’s a must stop.

This place is pretty cool. It’s got a lot of space and hence has quite a bit of stuff to go through. Prices seemed reasonable for what they had and I found an awesome card catalog drawer thing that I’m going to use to put my socks in here (see pic). Staff is pretty polite too!

I would say I’m surprised by the lack of reviews of this place (as per a previous reviewer), but downtown Napa (along this side anyway) is pretty empty.
My wife and I were here during Memorial Day weekend and had a great time at Antiques on Second. The space is one floor but takes up two decently sized retail spaces. It had a good selection of all types of goods: vintage clothes, linens, tea towels, glassware, housewares and furniture. They even had a section of Asian themed goods, from calligraphy brushes to statues.
Personally, I’m more interested in things like old games and toys. I found an old board game by MB called «Emergency» for $ 12 and they even had an old pachinko machine (be still my heart) for $ 75 (front plastic was cracked and not sure if the electronics worked), though I didn’t pick up the latter. My wife nabbed a nice tablecloth for $ 32 (about 54×54) as well as some doilies.
They even have a «sale» section in the back where items are 10% — 30% as marked.
It definitely had a good mix of a little bit of everything and was definitely worth the visit.

A total rip-​off.
The owners run estate sales and whatever does not sell they «buyout» from the estate at a low-​low price and jack it up so they can sell it high. You’d be better off shopping estate sales and avoiding this place!

A MUST visit for us every time we go walking downtown Napa, which is often! Wonderful pieces. Makes me wish I was rich every time I go in.

I’m surprised to see only two other reviews here. This store is incredible!
It’s packed to the gills with every type of vintage/​nostalgic gewgaw you can imagine, arranged in various rooms, nooks and crannies by seller. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the merchandise.
Here are just SOME of the goodies to be had: Kitchen gadgets galore; textiles; jewelry (precious and costume); clothing and accessories, with the higher-​ticket items showcased in their own little room set up as an adorable «boutique»; signage, books and lots of ephemera; furniture; toys; home décor, etc. The list goes on and on. My mom and I spent at least an hour here, and we would have happily stayed longer if not for having to return our rental car.
As Len Z writes, this place is a must-​see. I, for one, will be making a beeline for this store next time I’m in Napa. It’s an absolute gem.

Large collective of sellers and each has their own section of the shop. They carry a wide variety of goods and just about every period is represented so if you’re looking for Victorian things, Art Deco items, Mid-​Century pieces or groovy ‘70s stuff you’ll probably be able to find something you like here. Prices run average to high but you can occasionally find some good deals. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Well worth a look if you’re hunting for antiques!

A Napa Valley MUST SEE great selection, great prices ! GO just GO !
