Past Perfect

On our trip to Past Perfect this weekend, we saw at least half a dozen things that we were tempted to take home.

With 40 dealers in a space the size of two stores, and fairly rapid turn-over of items from 16th century to vintage modern, anyone could find something that would appeal to them. Crystal chandelier? Check. Mid-century (Bertoia chairs, Nelson bench, Nelson lamp)? Check. Mirrored Deco vanity? Check. Vintage anatomical school charts? Again, check.

Past Perfect is the place to go for a flea market fix in between monthly visits to the Alameda Antique Faire.

Prices range from reasonable to outrageous.

Open seven days a week from 11:30 am-7 pm.

The proprietor of Past Perfect is also opening a second store at Lombard and Pierce this fall.

There's no website yet, but some of the items for sale can be seen here.

Do you know if they take things on consignment? Where do they get all their fab stuff?

This is a great store and the owner is really friendly. If you are looking for a particular object and don't see it, be sure and ask him, because he'll keep his eye out for you, or may already have it in his warehouse. At least that was the case the last time I was in...

I don't know about consignment for only a couple of pieces. It's like an antique mall where different vendors have different booths. Definitely worth checking out and the stock changes regularly. Prices are also "flexible" in some cases. I heard the clerk on the phone asking a vendor if they would take X for a piece that a customer wanted.
