Century Antiques

First time there and I was in awe of the amount of items there are! A treasure hunt indeed. So much fun, fairly priced. I liked that they didn’t charge an extra fee for using a credit card, just a minimum purchase of $10. I look forward to stopping again in the future to see what I find!

While visiting here, there are a couple more in same building. This one is cool. Many booths. Cold, wear gloves. There are a-lot of booths that are 15- 50 percent off. Some things are overpriced of course. Done are right on par for eBay prices. Great variety. I’ve researched antiques and have seen things I’ve never seen in person. Great experience overall.

I truly love and enjoy century the name fits it just right. Because, every time I go in there it takes me back in time. Yes! When I'm there I have to get more then just one thing..

Wow! 2 floors of an old wearhouse full of antiques!! Everything from small pieces of jewelry all the way to full size Oriental hutches. They have a great selection of items, and plan on spending a few hours if you want to see it all!!

This is a large antique shop with tons of merchandise, very nice. The owner was helpful in assisting me with items he didn't have himself.

I’d give it more stars if I didn’t feel like I was being watched like I was stealing the whole time I was in there.

I didn't know it was there. I have drove by it so many times. I stopped by to get their knowledge of a over a century old book. They had some knowledge of it. Meanwhile I looked around. It brought back childhood memories plus I got a nice old oil lamp out of it. Come check it out. Enjoy!

This place is huge! You can spend all day here. I'm not a huge Antique person, I know they're expensive and I'm very cheap. I really went here to find old paintings to paint ghosts over them (trend). I was hoping for garage sale or goodwill prices like $8 lol nope! I did find some reasonable things for twenty dollars, but most of it was 70 to 300. Still love this place!

If you're looking for some extremely unique antiques- this place is worth checking out. They have a surplus of unique, less unique, old world and simply vintage items. We particularly enjoyed pawing through the vintage clothing section. The building itself is very old and full of character so even if you're not in the market for anything... stepping into Century antiques is worth the experience alone. And, you never know if you may stumble across a hidden gem! They're conveniently located around the corner from Founders brewery, so it's a perfect stop to walk off that beer you just enjoyed!

I have to start by saying that antique shopping is not my favorite sport. Unless there is something specific I'm looking for, I usually get a little claustrophobic and overwhelmed at Century Antiques. However, my last visit wasn't too bad. I was looking for a 2 cup Pyrex glass measure, which I figured would be pretty easy to find. Luckily I found one pretty quickly and was then able to focus on finding the weirdest piece in each booth. Every little section has a different vendor, and some take time to make cute displays and tidy things up. Some do not. In fact, the Phil's Stuff area sometimes looks like stuff was literally just thrown into the upstairs rooms with no regard for any kind of order. Some people might enjoy digging through these piles, but I don't. I tend to avoid that area of the store. I think you could probably find anything you're looking for, if you have enough time and patience. I always enjoy seeing things I remember having as a kid or things I recognize from my grandparents' homes growing up. Lots of Fisher Price toys that seem to be very valuable to some at this point. The pricing varies wildly and I think most prices are firm, since the vendors themselves are not often around to haggle with. Luckily they sell snacks because I realized too late that I should have eaten before starting an epic shopping trip. I was able to get some fruit snacks and trail mix that held me over through our whole time there, but I'd probably bring a snack and my water bottle next time. If you're on the hunt for hidden gems and love antiques, check out this place!

This place is a huge factory building offering alottttt of square footage for wandering and browsing of old and vintage things. Good fun....highly recommended!

Visiting this time of year the first thing you'll notice is it's cold. Very cold. Like Bob Cratchit begging Scrooge for 1 more piece of coal cold. Understandable that the cost to heat a huge and drafty space such as this must be a small fortune but I do think that when the temperature makes your nose start running and your hands numb it's time to bump up the thermostat a few notches. The store is a hodgepodge of antique booths, some well maintained, some so crammed and horderesque that you fear for your life to step in. We enjoy visiting and there are treasures to be found. I do wish they did a little better job of nudging their vendors to clean up their spaces. Most recently they have acquired the adjoining space vacated by the former Buckley antique shop. This space still has some of the best curating of items (and some heat!) Worth visiting if you are in the area and don't mind digging through some clutter.

Amazing place! Definitely a good place to spend your lazy Sunday at just peeking thru and discovering cool items.

Getting lost in Wonderland. Absolutely loved this place of treasures. Highly recommend

Many great treasures! Tons of dishes and pottery. I visit every couple of months and always find new pieces to add to my collections. Most booths are organized well.

This is THE best antique store I have been to in Grand Rapids. They have awesome items at very reasonable prices. But.... Jim and Lori Have great knowledge of their items. I found rare items there that were restored to perfection. Handy man Joe does awesome work. Thank you all for such a warm welcome to your second home. I had a wonderful time.

Located in an old factory building on Century Ave near US-131/Wealthy St. - kind of difficult to get to just because of location, but worth it when you get there. A lot of great merchandise - and it's antiques, not junk ; very reasonable prices. Because it's a very old building, can be chilly in the winter months, so wear your coat in. Former owner sadly passed away several months ago, so his partner is running the place now. He's friendly, yet has one of those senses of humor that sometimes you can't tell if he's sort of being funny or being a bit biting. Overall a nice guy and helpful. I like this antique mall, and it's also next to 2 others, so you can make an afternoon of antique-ing if you choose to.
