Look up!




"Yes, they're for sale." That's what we tell people who ask about the luscious vintage chandeliers hanging throughout Timeless Treasures. We enjoy them immensely while they are in the shop, and we get even more pleasure seeing them leave and go to a good home.
Whether they come from the Bay Area. . . such as this elegant Italian beauty, festooned with white porcelain roses. . . or the Dordogne. . . where these petite French glass and crystal ones were found. . . each one has been carefully rewired for safety at Phil's Electric in San Francisco.
So if you have been on the prowl for a pretty light for the powder room, or a showstopper over the dining room table, stop by and see what's in store for you. If you don't see the chandelier or hallway light of your dreams, tell us what you want and we will add you to the Wish List.

7X7 magazine makes us pleased as punch!


The June issue of San Francisco's 7X7 magazine singled out Timeless Treasures for the star treatment. We were named among the Best of Home + Design 2008 for our vintage sign letters.

The magazine is a favorite resource for people who live, work and spend leisure time in San Francisco. In the days following the arrival of the June issue on newsstands and in mailboxes, there have been a number of new faces rummaging in our letter cubbies and drawers and laying out vintage letters on the floor of the shop. And that, as Martha would say, is a good thing!
We are grateful to everyone who played a role in Timeless Treasures' inclusion in this special issue. The word for that is t-h-a-n-k-s! m-e-r-c-i! and g-r-a-c-i-a- s!
