Our search for objects with integrity-what we call "modern artifacts"-pushes us forward into the postmodern world and rearward into the early twentieth century. s No matter the period, at every turn, 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 both the value of items already at hand and our potential to salvage and renew the world around us. Balancing professional restoration with genuine 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.
