I had one of those moments again where I was reminded why
Alemany Flea Market was the best kept secret of San Francisco. Buried deep within a box full of junk, I discovered not one but two black & gold porcelain table lamps that were screaming my name. They weren't perfect but miraculously were not chipped (much) despite the layers of discarded objects piled on top of them. It was truly a proud moment. Originally the seller wanted a ridiculous amount of money but with a little persuasion we got him down to $20 for the pair. Gotta love junk dealers. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
But they desperately needed re-wiring. Thanks to the talents of our buddy Matt Osborne of
Glass Key Photo (yes, he fixes lamps too) our adorable art deco lamps have a new home.
