Antiques in Escondido, CA

“I can’t say enough about how much the team at The Chapman Collection has helped me to find the perfect antique pieces and art work for my home. Melissa & Ron delivered unbelievable 5 star service on every transaction. The best buying experience for me ever…couldn’t be happier and look forward to my next visit at The Chapman Collection!!!”

“I contacted the Original Strip Shop when I was looking for someone who could strip white paint off of a ceiling beam in my living room and refinish it to complement the walnut wood and wrought iron details that I have throughout my home. When Gus came over to assess the project and give me a quote, he was very honest about the complexity of the project and what would be required to pull it off as it was not something he does regularly. Gus and Anthony worked together on the project for over a week. They prepped everything in my home so nothing would get dirty and they cleaned up after themselves every day so while I was living in a construction zone, it was not unbearable! I was so impressed with their attention to detail and willingness to take the time needed to get it right. I am thrilled with the end result and would recommend them to anyone!”

“Grab Bag is just a fun place to walk through! Great prices and friendly staff. It's not a big place, so it isn't overwhelming but it has a lot of really neat stuff, a "grab bag" if you will, of different things to go through from antique to vintage to homemade. I always find a little something for a birthday or to add to a birthday gift. It's great for teacher's gifts and stocking stuffers at the holidays too. It's my favorite antique shop in Esco and now has regular hours. It's worth a trip out to see what they have in their different booths. And even though it's neat and cute and stylish...it's never snooty or too kitschy. I really like it.”

“I always find something here. It’s a combination of vintage and new. However, last time we were in, we noticed they were selling items from Hobby lobby and marking them up and the dollar tree store. Someone even forgot to take the price tag off the bottom of the pot from Hobby lobby. Also, a 3% surcharge is being applied to each item and then taxed.”

“Antique malls are always fun. Just don't know what items you might find from the past. Look and you will find something brand new from history. From clothing, toys, books, records and fine jewelry. There is a diverse background for everyone to get something they will treasure for their home.”
