“I was wandering along in San Francisco on my way to visit the bookbinder museum when I met the owner of The Box SF, Mark. When I told him I was interested in books and other historical items, he graciously invited me to enter his shop.The outside is discrete and belies how magical the inside space truly is. When you enter, you're immediately blown away by the vintage art and artifacts everywhere. Mark and his assistant, Israel, gave me a mini-tour and explained how the shop specializes in ephemera, which refers to items that were designed for short-term use (advertising prints, perfume bottles, soap labels, etc).The shop contains items from the mid-1800s to the early-1900s from around the world. Everything is in great condition and attests to the craftsmanship of earlier time periods. What was supposed to be a quick 20-30 minute visit turned into a 2-hour visit.Everywhere you turn, there's something new to take in. I love antique and thrift stores, yet I have never encountered anything as unique as The Box. I found some souvenirs to take home with me and even the wrapping paper was this cool, historical print.The Box is a treasure trove for people who love vintage, antique, or novel artifacts. If that's your style, you have to visit.”

“This is a MUST see, when visiting SF. It is one of the most unique antique and ephemera mercantiles I’ve ever been too. The owner Mark and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very kind.
It is like a museum you can interact with and purchase. I now have some incredible pieces I’ve added to my stationary and ephemera collection. Hope to photograph a wedding one day there. Such a beautiful event space where they hold regular artists markets.”
“Absolutely incredible, high-quality silversmith shop. I bought an expensive designer “silver” ring for my partner that turned out to be brass underneath, which oxidized with skin and caused a green rash. Biro & Sons was able to replate it in silver to fix the issue, and they did it within a rush one-day turnaround time for my partner’s birthday present. Really enjoyed every aspect of working with this team (they were very responsive over email). The space is incredibly cool with a vintage vibe too. All around 10/10.”
“The owner Phyllis is an absolute delight of a human! Awesome selection of curiosities and antiques from over 150 years ago. Amazing service; what a wonderful neighborhood gem!”
“Very kind, thoughtful owner. We didn't end up using his services because we wanted our antique table disassembled for storage instead of restored (ultimately didn't make sense to do) but he spent a good 10 minutes brainstorming how best to store our table even after we declined his work.”

“Wonderful items in the store! My wife and I got very nice soup spoons!
The only reason for 4 out o 5 stars though, is the wannabe security guard there following us everywhere in the store, thinking we might steal something. Even after we purchased our spoons, he kept staring at us and followed us out... don't make your customers feel on guard...”

“The YES company brings three decades of organizational and event experience to the estate sale process. Kevin Black, the company owner, runs a well oiled operation, and enlists experienced staffers to move, organize, assemble by lots and type in order to create a 'store-like' environment within a home. Disposition and sale of items within our nearly 8,000 square foot home presented a challenge that was managed with efficiency by the YES company.
Mr. Black and company spent a full week ahead the sale to break down, re-organize and place thousands of small to medium sized items from our various collections onto sale tables; provided safety and directional signage through-out the home for the sale dates; helped to coordinate a nearby parking lot for anticipated crowds; listed the larger furniture items on-line prior to the sale, recognizing nearly 35,000 marketing 'hits', and staffed the five consecutive sale dates with his experienced team.
The YES company communicated regularly during the pre-sale process and during the sale week. The check-out process for buyers was seamless, efficient and safe, with all items leaving through a single, large exit from the home. The YES company also provided the boxes, packaging and bags for use by buyers in facilitating the post-sale departure. Our check reflecting the residual proceeds from the sale was processed expeditiously.
The YES company ownership and staff clearly demonstrate the experience and confidence in accomplishing the sale goals, and we recommend them for your estate sale requirements.”
“Yesterday, my husband and I stopped by Yury's to see if he could replace the cord on an old Hollywood Regency/Chinoiserie accordion fan lamp. I had accidentally dropped a heavy water bottle on it, breaking the cord in half. Yury was very friendly and helpful, and he was transparent about pricing. His estimate for just replacing the cord was so reasonable that we also decided to have him update the lightbulb socket and add velvet underneath the lamp to prevent it from scratching our furniture. He completed all the work in under three hours, and we picked it up later in the afternoon. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and plan to bring in another old lamp to have the wiring updated.”

“Beautiful collection of quality antique curiosities. There's always something to catch you eye encompassing a range of time periods. They have an exquisite collection of jewelry and a variety of home goods, decorative pieces, and trinkets. It is truly like stepping into an another reality.”
“Great selection of one of a kind rings! Marcus was very knowledgeable, patient, and not pushy when it came to choosing an engagement ring. Just the experience I was looking for. We look forward to designing our own wedding bands here. Come and support this family owned SF business that’s been around 100+ years!”
“This family own business is wonderful. Both the mother and the daughter, Sonam and Pachen, make you feel at home and appreciated. They are kind and generous and loving.
They bring beautiful energy into their shop and it’s always so joyful to be there.
The crystals are amazing I buy all my crystals from them.
They also sell beautiful charm bracelets. They allow you to take your time and pick what you want and they put the bracelets together for you I bought them for my three granddaughters. They loved the bracelets as well as Sonam and Pachen.
If you’re in San Francisco, and you want to treat yourself, buy someone a gift or just have a wonderful experience, I highly recommend you go to Tibetan Golden Lotus!”

“I can't say enough good things about this shop. Michael is a gem and the pieces in the store are amazing. It is one of the first spots I check when looking for new furniture. The prices may seem high, but the quality can't be beat”
“Please note that the brick and mortar location is no longer a gallery. The owner has moved the gallery contents to his apartment up the street, which can be viewed by appointment. I was lucky enough to call and catch him while he was in to view his amazing collection. I was thoroughly impressed by his array of strange objects and curios. I do wish that he would open a better website (most of the photos on the current website are inoperable) - something on Instagram, Chairish, or 1st Dibs would really expand his clientele and make it more accessible. *UPDATE: The website works better on a computer browser than on a cell phone!*”
“Recently bought a very nice piece at a very fair price. Excellent and fast service with no mishaps or disappointment. I recommend with enthusiasm. We shall buy many more very nice things from this source with pleasure.”
“Cute shop, affordable clothes. Lots of options for souvenirs. I was disappointed not to find a tiny mug option. They only have large and espresso size but nothing in the middle or a smaller mug that is not medium size. Hard to fly with a huge mug and hard to drink a small cup of tea/coffee in a shot glasses size mug.”
“Want crazy furniture that nobody else has? Always thought that you'd be better off in a movie, living in the drug dealer's room? Don't miss this store.”

“Fun shop with a good variety of different items and collectables. They sell all kinds of touristy items as well as some nicer pieces. Prices seem to be a bit lower than some other shops in the area. They have a good incense selection with some types I haven't seen elsewhere.”
“Lang’s is the perfect shop for 1920’s art deco, art nouveau, and Edwardian one of a kind pieces! Elizabeth was amazing and extremely knowledgeable! She helped us find the perfect unique engagement ring?”
