On Ingalls Street in San Francisco’s Bayview district, Almond and Co has spent more than a decade building a reputation among architects, interior designers, and collectors as a source for furniture and objects that are genuinely hard to find elsewhere. Founded in 2011, the gallery focuses specifically on twentieth and twenty-first century design, curating seating, tables, case pieces, lighting, and contemporary art rather than running as a general secondhand furniture store. The inventory changes constantly because so much of what comes through the door is one of a kind: a single Italian lounge chair, a sculptural floor lamp, a case piece from a mid-century studio maker, or a painting acquired from a private collection.
The gallery’s stated focus is on rare and one of a kind twentieth and twenty-first century design and contemporary art gathered from all corners of the world, and that global sourcing sets Almond and Co apart from shops that rely mainly on regional estate sales. Rather than positioning itself purely as a vintage resale outlet, the business operates more like a design gallery: pieces are selected for craftsmanship, provenance, and visual impact, then presented in a showroom setting that lets buyers see how furniture and art might function together in a finished room.
Beyond straightforward sales, Almond and Co offers restoration services, meaning a damaged or aged piece of furniture does not have to be a dead end for a customer who wants to bring something specific back into usable condition. The gallery also maintains an outdoor collection for buyers furnishing patios, courtyards, and gardens, extending its design forward approach beyond interiors. One especially distinctive partnership sets this gallery apart from other Bay Area design resellers: a collaboration with Sandra Jordan on a Prima Alpaca textile collection, pairing the gallery’s design sensibility with a specialty fiber and fabric line rather than limiting the relationship to furniture alone.
Almond and Co periodically hosts exhibitions, turning the Bayview showroom into a rotating display space rather than a static inventory floor, which gives repeat visitors a reason to come back even during slower buying periods. The gallery can be reached at 1920 Ingalls Street, San Francisco, or by phone at 415-355-1200, and much of its current inventory can also be browsed online by category and style before a visit, letting out of town designers and collectors scout pieces remotely.
For San Francisco shoppers who have exhausted the usual vintage and consignment circuit and are searching for something more curated, Almond and Co offers a different kind of resale experience built around design credentials rather than volume: a Bayview gallery, open since 2011, specializing in rare twentieth and twenty-first century furniture, lighting, and art, with in house restoration and a signature alpaca textile collaboration that few other secondhand design sources in the city can match.
