Architectural Relics

This place has been closed for over a year. There is another store in its place… all sales are final!!!

This WAS a cool store… drove by yesterday and its gone! If anyone knows where if moved or if its out of biz please post.

This store sells rare and unique home furnishings. Architectural Relics also sells backyard accessories. All the items have a unique aesthetic and some of the decorations have an international flair. A friend who recently got back from Italy bought some home decorations there because she said they reminded her of Tuscany. But the store also sells little and chic knick knacks. I got a little buddha good luck charm there, I don’t know if it has brought me much luck, but it was only about $ 5.
The store sells ornate fountains and pictures and all the items have a rustic European look. The store is located in downtown Escondido and shopping there is a charming experience. It is a little expensive, but you can get items here that you can’t get at Cost Plus or Pier 1.
Plus, Architectural Relics is owned by a married couple who operate the store most of the time. They’re very helpful and enthusiastic about their products.

I’m obsessed with architectural salvation stores. Relics is by no means as interesting or as fun to explore as Architectural Salvage in Little Italy, but it’s got it’s own interesting finds.
One thing that’s cool is the new estate sale room. What a great idea – it brings the estate sale to you!
