Alameda Point spreads across open tarmac, so the hunt feels cinematic: rows of silver and glass, botanical prints, old cameras, folk art and furniture set against an enormous Bay Area sky.
The market is strongest for pieces with presence. Even if you cannot take home a chair, study how dealers combine texture, colour and age—it is a free lesson in making old things feel alive again.
FIELD NOTE
Go early for the best selection and layer up for the wind. Photograph the stall number before leaving a large object to think about it.
