Centrally located in  San Francisco  California  at  1639 Market Street   94103 Near Van Ness across from Zuni Cafe       Open Friday thru Sunday 1PM-6PM Also by Appointment     Phone: 415.255.9000    Email: postwar@pacbell.net At modern artifacts, we've spent two decades promoting postwar art and design. Though mostly midcentury.... our inventory of vintage furniture, art and objects- what we call "artifacts," stretch beyond modern into postmodern and contemporary ideas.  No matter the period, we reject the short sighted consumption of poor design. We have no patience for items presented as affordable alternatives to a "costlier" investment in quality. Too often you, the "consumer," not only "get what you pay for," but ultimately pay for what you get. You pay to own it, pay to dump it, pay to trash it, then pay to replace it and start all over again. Such destructive "choices" promote environmental degradation, needless cost and, frankly, bad interiors. At modern artifacts, we also reject excessive reliance upon new manufacturing and thoughtless transport of goods around the globe.  Such activity not only consumes limited resources, but also obscures the value of items already at hand and our potential to salvage and renew the world around us. Balancing professional restoration with a fondness for patina, we return to items their former luster and usefulness. It's a fresh look in a naturalized setting.                                                                          To find out more about the inventory on this site please use the contact info above or visit us in San Francisco and experience firsthand a stream of quality inventory and genuine customer support.     With help from our customers, we help make the world more interesting and-what's more...keep it green.
