Sherman Oaks Antique Mall
"I would say this was my ultimate Happy Place...I would go to LA just to visit this antique mall." .....Amanda F. Chicago IL Welcome to one of the oldest and best loved antique stores in Los Angeles. Since 1982, this multi dealer vintage market, a hodgepodge of styles and personalities, has aimed high to provide a unique fun shopping experience. It is hard to find antique stores in LA to match the variety and affordability of The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall. We've won awards in the LA Times, The LA Weekly, and Talk of The Town for Best Antique Store Los Angeles, Best Vintage Jewelry Store Los Angeles and Outstanding Customer Service. Family owned, we pride ourselves on dealer longevity and customer service. Allow plenty of time to explore our 100 dealer antique mall where you'll enjoy an eclectic mix of styles, tastes and price points. "I LOVE this store!!!! Terrific customer service, really like everyone who works there tons. Massive variety to choose from. My faves - mid century modern barware, california pottery and 50's 60's decor. If you even like antiques just the tiniest bit you should make this store a must visit! ...Cathy W. Calabasas, CA Everything from antique bottles to Lalique crystal... spot vintage Chanel, Gucci, Christofle next to a vintage camera, typewriter, vinyl records, vintage dresses, mid century modern or just plain weird stuff.... from tchotehkes to Tiffany.
