epoca, located in the Design Center neighborhood of San Francisco, has been characterized as “blended eclectic” offering unique 20th century furnishings alongside traditional antiques and accessories.
Eric Petsinger:
Two things in Eric Petsinger’s life are truly memorable. The first is a day in 1968 when his mother left the house a brunette and came home a blonde. The second was opening epoca, the beautifully edited San Francisco gallery, a fixture in the San Francisco Design Center neighborhood since 2003. In epoca, Eric has created a layered inventory with a ‘something for everyone’ approach, blending American and European antiques with 20th century furnishings. Whether assisting an interior designer or an antiques enthusiast, Eric says, “Mix it up! Go ahead and put that shapely French rococo armchair next to a sleek John Widdicomb sofa and see how they bring out each other’s beauty.”
The chandelier is an integral element of interior design. You can say they are the centerpiece of light design. epoca has some of the most beautiful chandeliers, pendants, lanterns and sconces.
Chandeliers infuse drama like these twin mid-century Murano chandeliers which we envision sparkling over a holiday dining table. And chandeliers can be welcoming as we imagine this mid-century Murano Clear Glass Bullicante pendant by Seguso strategically placed in a foyer or hall.
Chandeliers offer a little bit of everything: Rococo ornateness, Neoclassical simplicity, Murano elegance, contemporary intrigue -- invariably the results will be stylish, stimulating, and certain to impress!
