Pasadena Antique Center

I am a huge fan as of tonight when my wife and I stumbled in. We ended up with an amazing old French desk and a funky red chandelier. The prices were excellent and everyone was super friendly. What an amazing assortment!

I have been coming here for at least 15 years. I love to browse through the ever changing spaces. Several new people in the place now and some if my favorites are gone. Lots if mid-​century modern now with some pretty high prices, most over what I can pay. Lots to see but not many bargains.

Got a GREAT deal on a Mission entry table. Love this place!

WOW– sensory overload for sure! But you can find anything from quirky to sensible. Danish Modern (yay!) to Baroque. Jewelry, lamps, chairs, chaise lounges, art, and anything your heart desires. The only thing is not every dealer is always there to answer questions.

I give this antique center 3-​stars based on the type of antiques they carried. Maybe it was the fact that there was nothing to my liking, or that I’m used to much larger and assorted antique stores.
But nevertheless, antique browsing is always fun, so take a stroll through, you may find a treasure worth buying.

Wow an amazing cornucopia of antiques. From this book, to crystal chandelier, traffic lights & signs, the variety of mirrors & paintings, cutlery, China, glassware, cameras. I had a great time looking around the two floors. Very welcoming atmosphere.

This is a GREAT antique Mall in Pasadena. Love their art, furniture, deco piece, and vintage items. A must check out place if you are looking for something rare, and special. Friendly dealers that works the floor, and works with you with prices. Plus, They also buy too. So, if you have old antique you want to sell, you should give them a call! The Mall opens 7 days a week, and only closes for 5 major holidays!

I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, love antiques & vintage, and I can’t believe that I just stumbled into this place last month. It’s wonderful! And I don’t think it’s overpriced, at all. I purchased a great end table, a cool mirror for my bedroom and an entry table and all of them were in mint condition and really affordable. I am by no means rich, just someone who loves eclectic style and can’t stand an apartment covered in Ikea and Urban Home stuff. So coming here, I’ve been able to add a little character to my apartment with unique pieces. Each vendor was flexible on price and I got discounts on everything I purchased.
Honestly, everyone here is really friendly, personal and they want to work with you on price, which is all I look for when I’m out antiquing.
Will be back, often!

This is another antique mall that I enjoyed my time in. Again, I felt that it was overpriced to the point of stifling my buying power… But they had some VERY cool things, and it was very cool to see the things. I had a friend buy something that actually seemed like a fantastic buy as it was definitely a one-​of-​a-​kind item! Check this place out and maybe you’ll get lucky as well!

Apparently I «checked in» at the annex rather than the main place. This place is huuuuuge. Two floors. Be careful on some of the stair wells because they are big steep stairs. There are probably three dozen or more separate rooms with all kinds of furniture and house/​home decorations.
This isn’t a «typical» mom and pop antiquing place, it’s a home decorating type of antiquing place, which being fairly new to this, didn’t realize there was a huge difference. There are tons of the small nick nack antiques, but this place is really for filling out your home with over priced, hey look at my fancy vase/​statue type things. Not hating, just what it is to me. And the smaller stuff I would be interested in are priced full retail, so not many deals that I could find.
Still a nice big place to spend some time in and check out.

OH. YOUR. GOD.
I am a sucker for antique cameras and other items that harkened to the days when things were actually made in the US and not shoddily made by indentured Chinese child slaves in Shenzhen. I went here to look for a genuine Super 8 film camera (remember film, the medium where dead pixels never existed?) and this place did not disappoint!
Now, granted I couldn’t find a Super 8 that didn’t need extensive restoration, but the selections of vintage cameras would make any hardcore photographer j*zz in their pants.
I’ll definitely make a stop here after Chrimbus and pick up some vintage cameras, along with hardshell luggage :)

This is not appointment only. You can just show up any time and if the vendor isn’t there, usually someone else jumps in to help a neighbor make a sale. That’s how cool people are here. I counted roughly about 50 vendors on two floors. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for some of this old stuff. There is however some new stuff mixed in that can bite a newcomer’s wallet if they aren’t careful. Always check for markingsfor origin, artist and/​or date to give you a better idea that it wasn’t made yesterday and then antiqued. Other then that they are friendly and they don’t push people to buy anything. Every one has a business card and is a licensed business owner so it’s safe!

I love this place… It’s huge!
Lots of furniture, art, sculptures, lighting, books… A good place to find a birthday present.

I love antique malls, flea markets, and the like. This one is not the best, but it’s not the worst. If the place is large, I don’t feel it, as the layout is rather cramped in many areas, with some areas I won’t go near (I can be clumsy and I can picture myself destroying hundreds of dollars of priceless antiques because I tripped). Other areas are nicely spaced, with nice, well lit display cases. However, the quality and quantity of stuff is great– there is everything from jewelry to glassware, to toys to paintings, to statues. It is definitely worth a look, as you can find plenty of great stuff, though be advised some of it is way overpriced. Definitely try to go directly through the dealer, as they are happy to give you a better deal.
What I really don’t like is the PARKING. The parking is atrocious, and that’s IF you can find any. As it is on an extremely busy street, street parking is hard to come by, including the small side street directly north of the building. There is a lot you can park in, but it is very narrow, it is difficult to get in or out of, and because there is so few spaces, on busy days people will park wherever, including blocking cars and in the strip that is used to get in and out. So if you visit, try to go on a random Tuesday– you’ll have a better chance of parking.

One of the few remaining great old antique malls in the whole Los Angeles area. There are many dealers to choose from, some more high-​end (therefore higher priced) than others but there is a good selection of items to choose from. I have bought dead stock orange and black striped knee-​high socks as well as an antique Afghani opium pipe and consider both to have been great deals. There are dealers from the traditional school of fine antiques and furnishings to the more eclectic and hip and they also have several dealers that specialize in tribal, Native American, Ethnic and American Folk Art which is something that I have not seen very often. I agree with the other reviewer in that the best deals are found from the dealers themselves so ask around to see if the dealer is in. As for the other review saying dark and dingy, give this poor building a break, it is also an antique!
