Welcome to Paxton Gate. We’re a San Francisco based store described as Treasures and Oddities inspired by the Garden and the Natural sciences.  We’re known for our mix of neo-Victorian delights, eclectic animal and plant ephemera, taxidermy, bones and skulls, framed and mounted insects, jewelry, affordable art, fossils & minerals, and more.  We also cater to younger folks at Curiosities for Kids which is a nostalgic assortment of Toys and Games inspired by the Natural World and the Pre-digital era.

Paxton Gate also offers a full service design-build division headed up by company owner, Sean Quigley.  Our primary focus is on outdoor spaces but we also design restaurants such as flour + water and retail interiors. Our award-winning “rustic modern” designs combine a clean and simple vision —and sometimes even rough hewn components— with sophistication and functionality.
