The city of Pasadena, California may be a relatively small city
(population under 150,000), however, due to it's proximity to
downtown Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and the San
Fernando Valley as well as it's extremely popular "Old Town"
shopping area and being the home of the Rose Bowl, it recieves a
disproportionately large number of visitors every day.
While the citizens of Pasadena enjoy an income that is well
above average, there are numerous other areas surrounding the
city, such as Encino, Flintridge, Glendale, La Canada, La
Crescenta, San Marino, Sierra Madre, etc., where many of the
residents also have disposable income high enough to be able to
afford the purchase of fine antiques.
Due to the foregoing many excellent antique dealers and shops
have opened establishments in the city. Here you will find fine
early american, spanish colonial, european, oriental and most
any other type of antique furniture, accessories, jewelry, etc.
you could wish for.
For a listing of Pasadena antique dealers that deal in real
antiques, not used furniture, so called "estate jewelry" or
other lesser quality items see http://pasadena.usacitydirectories.com/antiquede
aler.html. Most of the dealers that I spoke with have been
friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Several have buyers
that travel the world in order to locate top quality pieces for
their clients. Many were even willing to refer me to other
establishments if they were unable to supply me with what I was
looking for.
