About Rob Delameter
Rob's work is created using various forms of printmaking (hand-painted monoprints in water-based paints on archival paper), painting and collage. His most successful pieces combine simplicity and the Japanese concept of "wabi sabi" (finding beauty in imperfection).
Each new piece begins with either a sketch or an idea about colors. And it always comes from a direct experience with the real world. Rob's stone-inspired pieces began with a drawing he made of an arrangement of fallen rocks I encountered high up in the Andes of Peru - an act of nature had created a perfect composition. And that fascination has continued with his exploration of the Northern California coast.
He is enamored with ideas, objects, stories, and people from the past. He's been very impacted by the Bloomsbury Group - a small circle of artists and writers in London from the early part of the 20th century. They believed in making as much as they could themselves (textiles, furniture, ceramics, fine art, etc.) and valued the gifts of friendship - especially between men and women - which was rare in those days.
Rob was raised in Southern California where both the coast and the desert imprinted their beauty on him at an early age. After twenty five years in San Francisco, he now livesacross the bay in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. His painting and printmaking studio is located on the same property. The dramatic clash of nature (water, hills, constantly changing weather) with urban forms (architecture, the angles of the streets) of the Bay Area has a significant influence on Rob's work.
About Lost Art Salon
Lost Art Salon is a San Francisco-based gallery that specializes in the rediscovery of historically significant artists and the curation of fine art collections reflecting the major styles and movements of the Modern Era. Our public showroom offers over 5,000 one-of-a-kind paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and objects from the late 19th Century through the present, with a strong emphasis on 20th Century Modernism.
Lost Art Salon was conceived out of the desire to find an audience for artists who may have been overlooked by the confines of art history. Long-time friends and co-owners, Gaetan Caron and Rob Delamater, began the process of restoring and presenting found art in their living rooms in San Francisco’s Mission District in 2003. In 2005, Lost Art moved into its current location on South Van Ness, and soon shifted the focus from single flea market finds to extensive artist collections.
Gaetan and Rob work directly with the families and colleagues of artists to bring these collections out of storage units, barns, and attics, back to life and into the homes and design projects of their clientele. Following the initial acquisition, they carry these collections through the stages of in-depth biographical research, restoration and conservation, archiving, curation, framing, and final presentation in the Salon.
About Us
We're a small sustainable, family run company based in northern California. We travel the world to bring you beautiful, mostly vintage things and a lot of inspiration for your home.
When we founded our company, we envisioned a small business with a human touch: each beautiful item selected by hand, each order carefully packed by someone who cares, each call and email personally answered by someone who can help, and most of all, each customer treated like a dear friend. And we were committed to giving a little back in the form of support to other small businesses like us, and donations to causes that tug at our heartstrings.
We believe that not making something new is the greenest thing of all, that a small business can make a big difference, that the human touch is a powerful thing, and that working side by side with your family is a really nice way to spend your day.
Meet our team. They're the best.
Occasionally we will earn a commission for products that we recommend on our blog. Our opinions are always our own, and we never recommend a product or service we do not use ourselves.

Shipping Information
It is never our intention to make money on shipping. We strive to always be fair and reasonable in both our pricing and our shipping charges.
Shipping Costs
- Free shipping on all orders $99 or greater unless an item is listed as "available for local pick up only in our Concord, California shop"
- Free shipping applies to small items and furniture unless the item is listed for local pickup.
- Shipping on orders less than $99 will be charged according to the shipping table offered at checkout.
- White Glove Furniture Shipments may incur a delivery surcharge to remote areas. Generally these include Montana, Wyoming, and Coastal Islands that require a Ferry Service. Other remote locations may also apply. If your location requires a shipping surcharge, we will contact you once your order is placed to let you know.
Shipping Timeline
- Most items will be shipped via UPS or USPS. Processing takes 3-7 days. Depending on your location, shipping can take 2-10 days from our location in northern California. Once your order is shipped, we will provide tracking information so you can see your package traveling to you.
- Large furniture pieces travel via LUGG in the Bay Area, a private trucking service in the LA area, and White Glove Freight in other areas. For Bay Area and LA area, we'll easily be able to predict the delivery window for your item. For other areas, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact travel time for your item, but we try our best to provide you with current information to allow you to track it as it travels. Once your item arrives at a local receiver, you will be contacted with a four hour delivery window and the item will be carried into your home, placed in the room of your choice, and any packing material will be removed.
Packing Material
- When packing your order for shipping we do our best to strike the balance between minimizing the packing material we use and packing the items securely so they arrive safely to your door. Our packing boxes can be recycled and our packing peanuts are biodegradable. Just add them to your yard waste bin or run some water over them and they will dissolve.

How to Measure for Furniture Delivery
Now that you've decided to invest in a new piece of furniture, let's make sure it fits perfectly in your room.
Follow a general rule of allowing 36" of traffic pattern around an arrangement of furniture for traffic flow.
If you are looking to sit a certain number of people at your table, the size of your chairs is as important as the size of the table. Generally, allow about 20" of length per person (about the width of a placement).
A trestle base will give you more flexibility than four legs to seat more people along each side of the table.
Consider the size of the doors when placing furniture adjacent to a cabinet with doors. You'll want to be able to completely open the cabinet doors without bumping into a nearby piece of furniture.
If your cabinet has to be turned on its side to be carried through a standard door into your room, make sure it will clear the ceiling when it's placed upright. To calculate the diagonal measurement of the cabinet, dust off the Pythagorean Theorem: height of the cabinet squared + width of the cabinet squared = diagonal measurement of the cabinet squared. If the square root of the diagonal measurement is less that your ceiling height, then you're good. If it is more, then the cabinet will not fit into your room unless it is made in two pieces.
For coffee tables, rules are made to be broken, but these three rules should give you some structure to work with: generally speaking, you'll want your coffee table to be roughly the height of your sofa deck (about 20"), roughly 18" from the sofa, and approx. 2/3 the width of the sofa.
As always, if you have questions just contact us. We can help.

How to Have a Practical Magic Fall

With Practical Magic 2 finally here, we’ve been thinking about the original movie—and specifically, how badly we’ve always wanted to live inside it.
