Store Overview
Uncommon Objects is a one-of-a-kind Austin antique emporium established in 1991, housing 24 hand-selected antique dealers under one roof. Described as 'your eccentric uncle's attic on steroids,' this larger multi-vendor space features an eclectic collection of vintage oddities, antique artwork, taxidermy, ephemera, and curious collectibles—all beautifully organized by color. Customers praise it as a museum-quality treasure hunt with items ranging from 100-year-old postcards to rare finds, though pricing reflects the curated, high-end nature of inventory. The store hosts a monthly Uncommon Flea market and is a must-visit destination for serious collectors and design enthusiasts.
