King Richard's Antique Center is the largest Antique and Vintage Center in Los Angeles and California, with over 1 acre of antiques, 57,000 sq ft. It is also one of the oldest antique centers (40 years old) built in a historic (citrus packing plant) building in 1903. Our center is truly a destination for tourists where you can spend hours shopping and dinning. On site services include monthly appraisal clinic, stained glass class, workshops, live auction (Sulflows) and clock repair/sales. And there's an on-site restaurant.

If you’re at all into antiques, I highly recommend you stop by here! It claims the title of largest antique mall in California and I can see why - 4 stories of wall to wall treasures! The building itself is over 100 years old and used to be a citrus packing plant! And the staff are so nice and helpful too! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Chuck on a Yelp virtual event last week, as well as their resident appraiser Phil and they are so great! There’s plenty of parking, either in their private lot (free) or along the street if it’s full. They also share the space with a restaurant in case you get hungry! The mall has clean restrooms as well. Everyone is wearing masks and they provide hand sanitizer and take your temperature when you enter. The main floor (where you enter) has the best stuff imo - so much variety - anything you could think of! I found some lovely antique looking pink glass candle holders, a pink glass fruit dish for my dining table and a cool vintage sign for a Christmas gift! I also found these great French paintings I wanted but someone snapped them up by the time I made it back to grab them - so note to self - if you see something you think you might want, nab it quick or you may miss out!! The top floor was mostly furniture and large items - as well as a fake jail haha! There’s even a section for architectural salvage!! And on the floor below the main floor, there’s tons of furniture, appliances, lamps and other stalls too. There’s one more small floor down from that with a few items in it, but there’s not much to it. Plan to spend a good solid 1-2 hours or more here! I’ve been here before and I’ll definitely be back again!
