Palm & Olive Antiques

i really hate to rate this antique shop 1 star but i was very disappointed based on the description of how things are "curated" for this shop & reviews below. i had imagined something entirely different.i have to say, staff here are ready to help for the most part but it was really hard looking through things. most sections were hard to squeeze through because of huge furniture items or pile ups of heavy unorganized junk that were stacked in the way.i was looking for vintage bags & found one section at the very back that had amazing, quality vintage clothing & handbags but what a mess! the bags were wedged in the back behind so much packed in clothing falling off the shelves to the floor behind crates which was hard to get behind. when i pulled out one of the bags by doing some yoga twists & poses, i was finally able to reach a vintage dooney & bourke for $450 in fair condition. not mint, excellent or even good condition - BUT FAIR - so the price point of $450 on that vintage dooney bag was ridiculous. everything felt dusty & grimy. i found 3 boxes of 1970's madame alexander dolls & had to open each box to see what was inside & one of them had a DEAD SPIDER on the doll's dress right when i lifted the lid. there were only a few sections that were well organized with figurine displays but everywhere else you had to hunt for things behind paintings placed on the floor (fire hazard). for example, i found a 12" composition shirley temple doll listed for $129 laying behind a large framed painting. if i hadn't moved the painting, i wouldn't have seen the doll laying there. & that describes how messy this place is. also, because of how the doll was just laying there, you'd think it was worth FIVE DOLLARS, not $129.00.i need to mention the music. i'm not usually bothered w/antique stores playing appropriate music for their shop but when we came in this day, some disturbing psychedelic chanting music was playing & it was BLARING through the speakers.this place isn't curated well at all. additionally, i left feeling like i needed a shower & was traumatized by the type of music playing.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The selection was extensive, and varied. Several meandering rooms with widely divergent aesthetics and tastes made Palm & Olive fun and memorable. Signage, books, ceramics, clothes, typical odds and ends and other knickknacks only found in antique stores, along with local art all makes for a great experience.The only drawback is the elevated prices.

Very nice mix of mid century and earlier. But also 60s through 80s collectibles as well. Can be a tad pricey but well worth the visit regardless.

We were in the area and found this place on yelp. It has its own parking lot. This place is definitely under rated. They have real antiques. The place looks small but it's kind of big inside. They had a fan running that was 70 years old. I was here for like 2 hours everything is unique and so beautiful. We found a radio that looks and sounds amazing. Highly Recommend this place.

Rarely do I find a vintage/antique shop that truly impresses me but this place knocked my socks off. It's very well curated, there's so many interesting things from so many different eras, anyone with a fascination for the beauty of past eras will want to visit this gem often and frequently! Plus. It's. Fairly. Priced. Get in there and support this amazing spot!

Nice variety in this shop but too pricey. Items are costly for antiques. Be prepared to pay full price as owner acknowledges 'the rent is high here'. Firm prices if under $20. I would image any discount would be minimal. Nicely curated.

As a lover of old things, I enjoy perusing through vintage stores. I hadn't checked this one out yet- for some reason I always overlooked it! It wasn't until a friend of mine showed me a photo of a really cool mid-century console record player he purchased from here. I then was curious to see what other MCM items they had to offer. This store is pretty massive; it felt almost never ending. A true time capsule with really neat finds in great condition. I discovered a really cool sunburst mcm wall clock along with unique furniture and lamps. A little pricey, of course. Although, I did bite the bullet and purchased an MCM coffee table today. The owner had just brought it in and I knew I needed to snag it right away! For the style, quality and condition , a $200 price tag was a steal to me. George, the owner is a really cool guy. Very informative about the pieces he has to offer. I can tell he's passionate about his store. This one I will definitely frequent.

I'm going to be generous and give this place three stars. I stopped in years ago and had a pleasant enough peruse of lots and lots of vintage and antique items. My most recent visit - and last, I'm sure, was earlier this year. First the positives: this place is really big with lots of interesting items with a pretty good variety of price points. I won't be back because the most recent visit, I felt eyes on me the entire time and that was a complete turn off. Benefit of the doubt, the reason was the place was empty and the "workers" were bored. But I suspect my black husband was the reason. I had dragged him out of the house to go to some second hand stores to look for vintage planters only to be watched and monitored the entire time we're looking through the store. We stayed about 15 minutes and left.

Rude. Overpriced junk. Half of the items are broken or missing something. Owner does not give any discounts, always says its other vendors and cant do it. Not true.

A great antique shop with very nice local and unique pieces from many different eras. George is a long time local dealer and is very knowledgable of Fresno antiques and history of our community. We have purchased several very nice pieces of furniture and other pieces from him. So fun to go to this shop and learn about the history of the vintage item we are interested in.
