“I loved every single item in this store. Excellent prices, even better customer service. I was very happy with my purchase and can't wait to return to buy more!”
“Came in with and older watch that needed a battery. He opened it up and showed me the corrosion from the dead battery. I thought terrible and could be a loss. Eric was kind enough to give it a cleaning and make some adjustments. In the end I have my watch back and couldn't be happier. His prices are still the best in town. He also has lots of art pieces and other oddity clocks which is very cool to see. He showed me a 100 year old clock that was carved to look like a terrier with the eyes moving for hours and minutes. Come to this place and find cool things you didn't know you needed or get a watch repaired, Eric has you covered.”
“A very well-stocked and tidy vintage shop. ? I found a pink sweater that fits perfect. The owner was very friendly. ? Pretty pieces in different price categories. Lovely shopping bag with a cute little dog print. I would stop by again. ?”
“Great stuff! But someone should tell these people a LOT has changed since 1910. There are so many styles that have emerged since then and it's good to have some variety in life. I love a solid wooden chair as much as the next guy, but sometimes you just want a lazyboy and a vibrating ottoman. I heard they are only open two days a week because they don't use cars and have to walk 35 miles to and from home. Talk about commitment!”
“I was desperately trying to find somebody to re-cane a beautiful mid century chair that my cats had torn to shreds. I searched high and low, and couldn't find anyone to fix it, until a vintage shop in Atwater recommended this place. I am so excited and happy that they did. I brought my chair in and they gave me a very reasonable estimate. The owner and the people that work there are very friendly, but more importantly, they do amazing work. My chair looks absolutely stunning! It looks exactly like it looked before my cats got to it. This place is amazing!”

412 Bamboo Ln, Los Angeles“Service was excellent. Owner and his assistant were very helpful in educating us on various gold pieces, bracelets, pendants and necklaces.Also provided us with estimated value of some long-held jewelry pieces we brought in. I remember coming to this jewelry store when I was a young child with my parents, shopping for jewelry.”
“This is a staple antiques store in Monterey Park. We've purchased pieces here throughout the years. Selection is great. The service is great. Looove throughout the years the owner has his dog to keep him and the customers company.”
“Galerie Sommerlath is a unique source of tasteful art and furniture in Los Angeles. The collection has a great point of view and we love the pieces that we bought. I was happy to spend my money there as the owner is a lovely person. Thank you!”
“This place is great! Between the Bearded Lady and Vulture Culture Burbank is the go-to place for oddities. So many great stores, in one area, to bad I only had half a day to explore.”
“After Necromance, sadly, closed their brick and mortar shop, there was a brief period in time where their combination of taxidermy and Victoriana was no where to be seen. I'm a big fan of Gold Bug in Pasadena, but they are not quite as "dark" in their aesthetic. Memento Mori, on the other hand, feels like a pretty good replacement. So, what are you going to find here? Well, as you may have guessed from my intro, taxidermy. The classic boars and deer heads preserved as wall ornaments...but also delicate butterflies beautifully arranged under glass domes. While no where near as extensive a collection of preserved animal parts as Necromance, there still is a decent collection, particularly for decor. Memento Mori also lacks the strong mothball smell that permeated the aforementioned store. There is a large collection of silver jewelry incorporating classic taxidermy elements, such as glass eyes. And lots of trinkets for those of a "gothic" aesthetic. They also carry a number of very comfortable tshirts bearing variations of their logo, one of which currently hangs in my closet. Memento Mori also appears to serve as a gothic community center: they always have flyers and posters advertising events such as Endless Night, a vampire-themed ball, or gothic-themed fairs for artisans. So, definitely worth a visit if your aesthetics or predilections lean to the darker side of life.”
“Do not decorate anything without a visit to this place for yuo will find there not just the inventory but the most discerning mind, a romantic heart and a pair of eyes that see beyond obvious. Enjoy the expereince as we did. Some may call it enchantment, others - exploration but we found it all blends into continuous sense of harmony.”
“The best shop for lamp repairs hands down. They also have an amazing selection as well. Got an instant quote on a lamp repair that two other shops couldn’t figure out. Now I have a perfectly fixed lamp and a gorgeous chandelier from their selection.”
“I am blown away with how well this all went. After my mother's death, we had to clear out the family home, almost 60 years worth of (stuff) - - daunting! But Sheryl and AoM jumped right in, even taking over shipping large items (a grand piano!) to family members, in addition to sorting and selling a house full of stuff. We made every penny back and then some, and the house was left spotless, ready to touch up the paint and stage it for sale.This can be such a fraught experience, and none of my sibs or I live in the area anymore. Sheryl did it all, thousands of miles from us. She and her outstanding team were diligent and professional and thorough, and respectful of the emotional weight of all this. I am beyond grateful.”

1018 Mission St # 2, South Pasadena“A marvelous Old School Japanese Antique shop with a friendly, chatty, knowledgeable owner (Lisa) who runs it now that the former co-owner and her mother, Yoko, has passed away. Yelp has this biz erroneously listed as "Closed." Lisa asked me to ask Yelp to correct this error (she is not computer savvy). She wears a mask and keeps social distance while telling lively, entertaining stories and overseeing the mass of jewelry, vintage kimono fabrics, Japanese books & DVDS, miniature dolls, and gorgeous carved pieces (like the intricate box of drawers that I watched a customer purchase). Prices run from a couple dollars on up. I bought a couple lovely pins for $8 each. (See photo) And plan to return to buy more of these one-of-a-kind treasures. Twenty-five years ago, I commissioned Yoko to make me a "noren" (Japaese door curtains). She let me pick the fabric, and made it for me. It was on the recommendation of Amy at Ai Restaurant, who had several beautiful noren by Yoko. Now, more than ever, this lovely shop could use some attention. Here's my contribution and prayer that yelp show that it is STILL OPEN!”
“This place is pretty much everything you grew up with plus 40 years of what your grandparents had before you were born. We left with a vintage wizard hat and a Skotch Kooler and I can't wait to go back and get one of the old Coleman lanterns. Last visit I scored the old Burger King Return of the Jedi glasses. Owners are super nice and you can tell they love having the shop. This place will take you back in time.”
“I've been visiting Salvare for several years now, and it's hands down my favorite home furnishing store in SoCal. We've picked up many bigger (e.g., coffee table, chair) and smaller (e.g., pillows, ceramics) pieces, and there's always something fun and new to see in the shop. Prices are super fair, especially in LA. Selena, the owner, not only has fantastic taste, but is incredibly nice. Highly recommended!”
“This is a must-visit for vintage lovers. So many treasures of all kinds in excellent condition and a truly lovely staff person who really knows her stuff! It's a small shop but i could easily spend over an hour looking around.”
“This thrift store is well stocked and it's hard to move around at times but I absolutely love the ladies who work here. They know the store is full so they make sure they're moving the items by having more discounts. I definitely recommend this shop instead of going to Goodwill. Check it out and you won't be disappointed.”

9441 Culver Blvd, Culver City“I love shopping and donating here! Their proceeds support women’s organizations and the shop is run by mother and daughter duos. Everyone is super friendly and on the first Saturday they have 50% off everything! Today I got 5 pieces of clothing, a crystal dish, and a large painting for $28.”
“A unique vintage shop for ye yesterday years. authentic and like it's time, merch is price is right. Affordable. The chick who runs it is very sweet and knowledgeable of the era of that culture she serves. A piece can be picked by/for every member of the family..”
“Samuel literally has a showcase of the most beautiful rugs I have ever seen all under one roof. Samuel's Rug Gallery also provide services like repairs, cleaning, and maintenance. Fantastic service. To find authentic, luxury Persian rugs for a reasonable price is very rare. We bought two Persian rugs that transformed our home. I got a third rug for my office. It looks warm and rich with the dark office furniture, exactly what we wanted in our office space. We are thrilled.”
“This antique furniture store is a hidden gem for lovers of mid-century modern design. Their collection predominantly features stunning mid-century pieces, making it a haven for those seeking that classic and timeless style. It's clear that they have a passion for preserving and showcasing these treasures from the past. If you appreciate mid-century modern aesthetics and high-quality antique furniture, this store is definitely worth a visit.”
“Got a good education on my Chinese furniture. They had a lot of interesting prices. The owner is a Gem! Knowledgeable and helpful. I love that it's a family owned business. Go check it out if you are into Chinese antiques. And the dog is friendly too.”

1836 E Walnut St, Pasadena“I’ve been here a few times and they always have a really interesting mix of antiques. Mostly smaller things but they do have some furniture. But last time I went in looking for something beautiful to store my cats food in. I bought this beautiful glass cookie jar and because I was unsure it would be large enough she gave me a week to bring it back just in case. It ended up working out but I really appreciated the above and beyond customer service.”
“Serviced my grandfather clock and now it works perfectly. The Clock Specialist services grandfather clocks at households in the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys.”
“The proprietor Ken was helpful and honest.He took the time to go through all of our coins, looked up their current collector values with me, and transparently calculated a good offer.Very happy with my experience! Will visit again if I come across any more coins.Solid business. Strongly recommended. 10/10?”
“Great service, the owner had such a great an inviting presence. Amazing vintage finds, loved everything I saw and there definitely some hidden gems! Priced reasonably, not too high but not cheap either. Good quality vintage finds!”
“We brought in a heavily-tarnished Christofle Vertigo 3-Part Server that had been left outside for probably a year. Needless to say it was in desperate need of some professional TLC (or, in this case, CPR!) . Well, our guy Pablo took one look at it and said with supreme confidence that it would be ready in a week. Sure enough, one week later- presto-whamo- the piece looks as good as new. This shoebox-sized establishment has been in business since the early 60's and you can easily miss it as it's located on a busy intersection (Third & FFX) across the street from Trader Joes, but it's well worth seeking out. Heartily recommended.”
“Had so much fun shopping with my mom here on Tuesday! I didn't catch her name, but the lovely employee working at the front desk was great to talk to and loads of help. Friendly environment with great music and endless clothing/jewelry to choose from.”
