About Us

Cornelius Ross, master upholsterer, founded Retrospect in 1991.  Retrospect, located on Market Street in San Francisco opposite the Zuni Café, is known for its fine custom upholstery, antique restoration, and custom furniture design.

 

Cornelius is continuing a 45 year business tradition – his family owned Ross Upholstery on Fillmore Street, where he learned his craft.  He also worked for Randolph & Hein, the prestigious San Francisco showroom, as a journeyman custom upholsterer from 1985 – 1987.  He is a master craftsman in every sense of the word.  Working with fabrics suitable for every style – from damasks to brocades, leathers to mohairs – he creates custom designs to suit his clients’ décor and their designers’ vision.

 

Retrospect has been featured in the San Francisco Examiner, The Good Service Guide, and on KTVU Channel 2’s “ Segment Two with Bob McKenzie”.
