Old School for a New Era

In many ways we live in a golden age of design: customers and manufacturers have become hip to style, and Ikea and Target, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware have put good design within reach of those who can only aspire to the real Design Within Reach, while television and social media continue to educate us all. Which is all great. But…Simply because we get to see everything, a feeling creeps in that maybe we’ve seen it all. We miss the unique, the one of a kind, the never-copied, the unexpected. The very things that make interior design personal. That put a signature on a project.

And it so happens that these are the very things we specialize in, here at Early California Antiques. And not only the great classics of the classic California Style, Monterey furniture, Catalina and Bauer pottery, Spanish Colonial, Spanish Revival, Mexican, Deco, Mid-Century, Arts &Crafts, Native American, all the classic touchstones of what became the tangible California dream, but also the outliers and the unusual.
