Gump's San Francisco is a unique and enticing specialty store. An emporium comprised of engaging galleries featuring advanced, classic and custom jewelry, Asian, American and European art objects, mastercrafts, gifts and decorative home accessories. This East/West shopping experience also includes the world's best selections of crystals and china, a vast collection of silver, along with bed, bath and fragrance selections.
Founded in the city by the bay in 1861, Gump's symbolizes San Francisco and its abundantly faceted culture as much as cable cars and the Golden Gate Bridge.
This legendary mercantile institution, with an international reputation, began the latest chapter in its colorful, almost century-and-a-half existence, when it debuted a new Gump's at the beginning of March 1995 - it was acquired by the marketing conglomerate Hanover Direct, Inc.
The current Gump's incorporates every facet of the store's past: The heritage of founder Solomon Gump's good taste remains its banner of inspiration just as his discerning eye guided the Gold Rush days and the decades to follow. Gump and his emporium grew with this 19th century city, introducing the burgeoning gentry to the graces of decorative arts from all over the world.
Today, Gump's is an eminent purveyor of unusual, exclusive and high quality merchandise and since the turn of the century, the core of its cachet has been its close ties to the Pacific rim. Its East/West character remains at the heart of the store's current incarnation with comprehensive selections of antique, traditional and contemporary European, American and Asian treasures offered. The exciting expansion of Gump's jewelry collection is one of its newest dimensions.
Beyond its bejeweled fame as the purveyor of jade, corals, exotic stones and PEARLS, today's selections include the works of cutting-edge creators and even a signature jewelry designer.
