Historic Architectural Salvage & Antiques for San Francisco Spaces
San Francisco architecture is defined by its attention to detail, craftsmanship, and layers of history. From Victorian homes to early twentieth-century buildings, original materials matter. Architectural Antiques curates authentic architectural salvage and restored antique lighting for San Francisco homeowners, designers, and builders, shipping nationwide from our Minneapolis showroom and workshop.
Whether you are preserving period character or introducing contrast into a modern interior, we help San Francisco projects source architectural elements that feel intentional, original, and built to last.
