The Antique Company

I asked what year an item was from and an old man (owner? employee?) shrugged and said he didn’t know, so I asked how they price an item without knowing how old it is (the price seemed rather high…) and he started waving his hands at me and yelling at me «It’s new! It’s new! It’s new!», I guess shooing me out of the store? I have no idea. Still not sure if the item was actually new and made to look antique, or was an antique and new to their store? Just a bizarre and upsetting experience being yelled at.

Great selection, knowledgable staff, quirky environment, it was great! Definitely would go here again. You do have to walk into every nook and cranny to see everything, but it’s worth it!

Look at this trove, treasures untold… how many wonders can one cavern hold?
Okay, so truth. My collections are not complete… nor am I a 16 year old red headed mermaid with a beautiful voice. But whatever, I can find treasures here to fill up my non-​under water cavern.
So much beautiful furniture and various knick-​knacks about. Upstairs they have more to see. Vintage jewelry, clothes, and tea cups. Things that were made with true craftsmanship, a thing we lost in the last century.
I used many a lunch hour just browsing. It’s fun, and prevents me from pigging out at Taco Bell.

Talk about walking into a time capsule!!! I seriously felt like I was not in sacramento!!! They actually have some really nice vintage furniture and fixtures. They furniture is that good quality solid wood and not plywood which more furniture these days are made of. They have a great selection of older pictures and mirrors on display. I personally loved this littler dragon tea set they had and it was in good condition. Although, I wouldn’t know what I would need that for anyways! Haha! The stuff there was kind of expensive… It’s so funny bec my grandma always says everything she has is antique and now I’m a firm believer she speaks the truth! I literally saw similar pieces!
One tip is that you really need to walk around the whole store to see exactly what they have. I have no idea how they take inventory in that place! If you haven’t walked though this store, it’s a great experience. The guys who work there, I’m guessing the owners are not too friendly. But that’s my own opinion.

I hate shopping. There is nothing more inane to me than perusing through piles of garbage that nobody needs but the face on TV says I must have. There is exception to this: old stuff. I do so love rummaging through the what creative talents of yesteryear designed, built, and sold. Instead of creating new piles of waste, we can reuse the old piles and these ones are unique. This place has some really good stuff amongst the oddities and some of those oddities will be your favorites that you need to take home.

I just walked into this store today looking for an antique bookshelf…(I am African American by the way), I asked the man at the counter for some assistance with finding this item. The man advised that they did have the item I was looking for but did not even move a muscle to show me the item. He gestured that the item was upstairs and looked me and said…“you do realize that this is an antique store not a thrift store” insinuating that I could not afford what I was looking for. I replied that I knew what kind of store this was when I walked in. Very upsetting, I will not ever visit this store again.

Lots of cool retro finds and beautiful antiques here! The prices seemed really fair to me even though I didn’t end up buying any furniture. Funny enough I did end up getting the Midtown Queen picture another Unilocaler photographed though!

Will never go in to buy something from this store. The owner and his cohorts are complete jerks. I came to them mistakenly, having been referred elsewhere to ask a question on a piece I have. Wandered into their store instead of the one I should have gone into — their next door neighbor.
The piece I had was not of anything but sentimental value but, because my family has several items worth quite a bit of money (furniture, artwork, etc.), I just wanted to be sure I knew how to properly clean and repair an old 1950s/​1960s mirror. I was not looking to try to get them to buy it, and I was not doing anything but asking a question. They treated me – ALL of them — as if I were some idiot with delusions of grandeur. (I merely was trying to find out where I might go to have the mirror (chipped) and the back of the frame (stand broken) replaced.) They were insulting and astonishingly catty in their conversation, what little there was of it.
I am continually looking for pieces that are part of my great-grandmother’s furniture set, and can guarantee one thing: I wouldn’t buy from them if they were the only dealer for three states … oh, and by the way … they’re not.

Living only a few blocks away, I have been shopping here since they opened. They have quality goods at reasonable prices. If you don’t act like a tool, they will give you a reasonable discount on furniture too. This past week, I purchased a lovely set of antique nightstands. When I pulled them down to give them a good looking over, the owner asked if they looked OK, which they did. I asked if he would give me a 5% discount so I could tell my wife I got a deal. He gave me a much bigger discount than that without question. They have always been very reasonable people with quality furniture at good prices. We went back today to see if we could find a beautiful dresser to almost «match» the nightstands, but alas, it was not to be. We will be back regularly until we find our «missing» dresser. Thank you gentlemen for running such a great store in our wonderful neighborhood. We are life long customers and we’ll be back again and again.

This place is amazing. From the outside it looks like a tiny little antique shop but when you go inside, it’s like a whole different world. The staff is awesome and the store is so organized. There’s a back room as well as an upstairs, so don’t forget to check them out. I originally went into this store just to look at all the cool things but ended up buying an antique medicine cabinet that I turned into a jewelry box with the help of pinterest. Highly recommend this store. Love love love!

I love this store. I have been coming here for years.
When you come in here be prepared to look up, down, and all around because the place is cram-​packed with antique, vintage, and import furniture, lamps, pictures, decorative items, and jewelry.
When I relocated to Sacramento, this is the first place I went shopping to buy new (old) pieces to add to my decorating.

Antique Co. is my perfect blend of actual antiques and vintage kitsch. The Anglophile antique enthusiast in me loves the carved wood armoires and china teacups, while the gaybar-​hoppin’ thriftstore shopper in me loves the rhinestone jewelry and the felt Jesus statuette.
On my visit yesterday, I bought a cute glass from the dollar table out front, a print of an gay pulp magazine cover (titled ‘Midtown Queen’ with manly weight-​lifting men), a cookbook called ‘The Playboy Gourmet’, and a asian-​style stash box. Oh and the overhead system was blasting disco’s greatest hits. LOVE IT.
Been coming here many years and I’ll come back many more! :)

Chock full of antiques and second-​hand treasures at prices Bay Area folk would die for. I’ve found lovely, affordable furniture, wall art and even an heirloom ring that I helped Santa pick out for me. The gentlemen who run the place are a total scream! They love to help folks that are looking to fix up their place on a budget. There’s always a pile of goodies on the sidewalk marked way down, and I always find something I never knew I had to have.

Went here for the first time today, outside they had the «dollar» table and i wasnt even there 3 minutes and hadnt even walked in yet and i already had like 10 things. I found these really cool teacups from england and the bowl that went with them. Im a sucker for teacups and the like. I went and looked through everything they had and they have some really cool stuff.
Im mos def going back when i have more time. Great stuff, some is pricey a lot is reasonable. You really need to look and take your time.

I’m never bothered with a «can I help you find anything?» here… And I like it that way. I get lost and trapped in my own world when I come in; amongst the old kitchen tools, gorgeous furniture and tons of costume jewelry. I collect postcards– and am thrilled to have recently found out they carry them here. The antiques range from early 1900s (maybe older?!) to 70s (maybe some newer) like any antique shop, of course you’re bound to find something no one else has. I appreciate their sidewalk and window displays– it never fails to tempt me!

Although the furniture is beautiful, and I have purchased a big items from here. I probably will not do that ever again. My rating would have been a 4 star, but the behavior of the owner today makes me hate this place.
Today I met the owner for the first time. Complete ass hole!
People be aware, although I never sold anything to his store, I witnessed him first hand plan out how he going to low ball these poor people that brought in a beautiful piece of furniture that was a family heirloom which could have sold easily for $ 700-​$ 1000, and he offered them $ 50 because they made it blatantly obvious that they have to move.
I’m an opinionated person, especially when it come to helping the less fortunate, so yes, I did say something. But at least those people have a little more money now to live easier another day.
I myself as a business owner understand mark up. But a lot of pieces in the store are marked up 65%-77% on top of the items appraised value.
I recommend 57^th street antique mall and all its neighboring shopping center antique stores.

I’ve always been a fan of The Antique Company. I especially like them because the items that they have collected are in such pristine condition and the pieces that are slightly damaged are noted as such and priced accordingly.
Like Fifi Y. mentioned, they seem to specialize in more classic furniture. Personally, it is not my thing — but I sure as heck can appreciate how great of quality their stuff is.

Purchased a very cool vintage record cabinet upstairs in their «casualty corner». It’s in great condition. The door has hinges so you pull it down. It also has two drawers on the bottom of it. Bonus. A nice box of furniture. I just needed SOMETHING instead of crates to store delicious vinyl. The guy refused to go any lower on the price. He’s very British. No nonsense. A Classical music sort of fellow. He managed to lug it from upstairs to my car parked in front of the Honey Bee Store. It was a tight fit.
It will house some Johnny Cash, Buck Owens and Led Zeppelin. Is it Hall and Oates worthy? I haven’t decided yet. Huey Lewis? We’ll see. Those are still in the crate for now.
So check out the Antique Co. And don’t forget the bargains in the upstairs Casualty Corner.

Meh… I’ve seen better. I found it a little too claustrophobic and somewhat tacky. If you’re looking for big furniture items (grandfather clocks, hutches, chairs, dressers) it could be great for you — they have lots of heavy European-​type things. I like lighter furniture. I was looking for vintage jewelry and was definitely disappointed in the selection.
Right around the corner is Fringe — highly recommended!
Edit: To the store owner posting below: That was rude. I just posted what I felt when I visited. Everyone has different taste.

This is my new favorite store in Sacramento. It’s full of gorgeous classic English furniture, crystal, china sets, home décor & curio. Unlike every other antique store I’ve been to, it’s not full of a bunch of thrift-​store crap — I literally liked everything in the shop! By this, you can tell the owners know what they’re doing and have excellent taste.
My parents are both English, so naturally a lot of the furniture reminded me of our family’s heirlooms. I was impressed by the condition the furniture here was in — absolutely impeccable pieces! I don’t think I saw a single thing I thought was overpriced. In fact, I think the «$$$» that Unilocal has given this place is misguided — I’d say it’s «Moderate» or «$$». Seriously, I saw gorgeous classic walnut bars for $ 300 – 400 and massive walnut wardrobes for $ 600 – 800. Crystal bowls and serving plates for $ 20 – 30. Commemorative mugs from the Queen’s Silver Jubilee for $ 25. Great value!
I also appreciated that all pieces were clearly marked with prices. It seems like a little thing, but in fact I am generally deterred from falling in love with something without a price tag — too risky, I suppose!
I already can’t wait to go back — and next time, I’m bringing my mum. She’ll love this place!
