Brent the owner was a real pleasure to work with. I came into his store with a few Asian artifacts that I found that I wanted to get appraised and possibly more info on to sell. I walked in to his store and he greeted my party quickly and attentively. His store is packed beautifully with antiques and it's amazing how I walked around in it without bumping into anything. Unfortunately the artifacts that I had were not Brent's expertise and even using our phones to try and do research on the spot together, it didn't work out. I really appreciated his honesty with me front the get go, as that's all I could really ask for! It's refreshing to have an owner that's up front like him and I will definitely be returning to his shop if I need any more help with antiques or I'm in the market for one. read more

Candy dispenser Chess board Jewelry Silverware Weapons Globes Glass jar full of marbles Old documents Inventory of your great aunt's attic? Nope, just a small sample of the many antiques available at Giltcomplex. This store is full of antiques. Literally. Ceiling to floor; it's hard to move around when there are others in the store. There's a little bit of almost everything here for the collectors out there. I'm not big on antiques, but they do have some pretty cool jewelry here, and even had some on sale. As far as the rest of it, as they say, a picture says a thousand words, so take a look at the pictures, or better yet, stop in and check out the current selection! read more

There are tons of antique stores but non like giltcomplex for the rare finds. The owners will help you find anything that you need. They customize the experience and make you feel comfortable. People that are nervous about visiting a store with old stuff, come here. There isn't old stuff and you will be welcomed. By welcomed I mean old fashion someone will talk to you. Everything is quality, that has been carefully displayed for you to buy. I recommend having brunch and Meemas, then shopping. Support local. There are great deals and objects at Guiltmore. read more

I went in looking for tobacco pipes, and oh boy did I go to right place. Brent is a collector of pipes and has many for sale at his store. He was very knowledgeable in that area and I learned a lot! The store on the whole has many unique items, and are all arranged in a way that makes sense. I will definitely go again. read more

Giltcomplex Antiques - Peterson pipe. Great condition considering how old it is. - Antiques Near Me - Long Beach, California

The global and decos caught my attention when my boyfriend and I was eating brunch next door and happen to pop in to take a look. There's so many historical items! I was so amazed by the owner how knowledgeable and his collections! Yes this is a perfect place for authentic historian collectors! I was lucky enough to found a female pocket watch that I've been looking for from 1840's possibly. Based on the Roman numeral and the hallmarks are from British. There is wear and tears but I still love it! It's like shopping travel back in time! I would say this place it's addictive. I went back with my bf because I couldn't stop thinking about the typewriter! What's more? I may come back for the 3rd trip! read more

Very good costumer service. Items are great pieces, just dont have the ones we are looking for. It is a great find for furnitures and paintings. Glass cabinets and some oriental pieces as well. The owner even gave us recommendations where to look for with regards to other antique stores. It is a definite good store to stop by, you'll never know it might have what you are looking for. read more

Brent is wonderful. Friendly, kind and very fair prices! Great eclectic stock. My husband and I bought two gorgeous lamps. So happy with them. We will be back. read more

Impeccable taste and an extremely diverse offering. Something to be had for even the most discerning collector. Being in the business means I can breeze through a massive antique mall or flea market and often find nothing to bring home. I cannot say the same for this place. There are many objects here on my personal want list. Great rugs and silver.... and incredible vintage Hi-Fi. Make it a point to swing by this place. read more

My husband Sean and I went in here looking for some old stereo equipment so we could get our turntable up and running and we had no idea what we were needing or looking for and found that Brent had quite a bit to choose from. It was a little overwhelming and he took the time to explain what he thought we needed and helped us choose some items that would work best for what we were looking for in our price range. Couldn't be more happy. We will be coming back most definitely. He has an extensive inventory or jewelry that I have an eye on and I hope nobody grabs my taxidermy rooster that I need In my life before I get to go back and grab. I just wish he would sell me some of his other taxidermy hahaha read more

Hands down the best antique store around!! My boyfriend and I ventured in here whilst walking around the area. We were immediately enamored by one thing after another. Everywhere you look you find something with history and age. We're both suckers for ancient Egypt so you can imagine our delight when we stumbled across turn of the centuries postcards from the pyramids. Everything in this store will capture your attention. Whether it's the stories from hundreds of years ago or the stories the owner tells about is adventures around the world (Wish you still had that receipt from the Ukraine). Even if you aren't there to buy anything the store alone is worth the time. By the end of our tour we got a pretty kick ass sword out of f read more

Great store!! From 17th century antiques to 1960s rock posters it is a fascinating store to visit. Good prices and great people. Parking not always the easiest but I think they have spaces in the back. Long Beach is lucky to have this place. read more

I have nothing but high praise to offer for this business. I want to describe my experiences in two parts; the first is in terms of the antique store Giltcomplex, I have made numerous purchases and during the process the owner, Brent, has been extremely helpful. This business has provided numerous options for antiques and other treasures that fit perfectly into my home all of this is because of the hands on assistance that I have received from the owner. In terms of antiques and customer service I cannot recommend any other store as highly. I have also had the pleasure of dealing with the owner of Guiltcomplex for my estate needs. I cannot describe how completely happy I am with the services provided by Brent and Giltcomplex. Brent took his own time to evaluate the estate I was dealing with and gave me honest, realistic feedback that was invaluable to me. I would not hesitated to recommend Guiltcomplex and Brent either for your antique needs for your home or for your estate distribution challenges. Brent and Guiltcomplex have been a monumental aid to my life both as a provider of quality antiques and as an advisor during a difficult estate process. I highly recommend Guiltcomplex and Brent as a go to source for antiques and estate distribution. read more

Giltcomplex Antiques is what an antique store should be! Easily the best antiquarian browsing experience in the city. Each time we visit we find fresh and interesting stock; there are plenty of reasonably priced quality items for a broad spectrum of tastes that are thoughtfully displayed. There are also high-end items for collectors and those with grand design objectives. The proprietors are relaxed and helpful and willing to dicker. I always try to set aside an hour to 90 minutes for a good browse and I'm never disappointed. read more

I can not speak highly enough about Brent in terms of his professionalism, honesty and kindness. He has been an invaluable resource in dealing with my parents' estate. From purchasing items directly from us for his shop to setting up a dealers-only mini estate sale (he does full estate sales as well) to helping us most effectively distribute and dispose of what was left, Brent has been fair, kind, gave us good counsel and stayed with us every step of the way. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Brent! read more

Shop Here!! There is something in here for everyone and the selection is very well chosen. My husband and I have been purchasing items from Brent and his wife for the past couple of years. I've added to my vintage collection a wonderful fur coat, beautiful perfume bottle and just recently wonderful silver jewelry. I love stopping in to see what wonderful treasures Brent has in his store. Long Beach is very lucky to have such a great antique dealer that offers quality antiques, collectibles, and vintage items. read more

I have been collecting antiques for over 40 years, and for 16 of them, I had my own store. Now that I am retired, I need to limit what I buy, and therefore, I am very picky. Gilt Complex is one of my favorite antique stores, and I drive 40 miles each way in order to shop there. The quality and selection are among the top in the Los Angeles area, but more important to me is that most of their objects look as they had a past life in an old English country manor. The store is run by a husband and wife team, and the son works if one of them can't be there. Prices are very fair for the quality. I have a hard time visiting without purchasing at least one new treasure. read more
