Uncommon Objects

About the Business

Specialties

Twenty-four hardworking antique sellers have been assembled under one roof to bring you this very genuine and sometimes quirky slice of American culture and history. Uncommon Objects has been described as "your eccentric uncle's attic on steroids." And remember, this is no museum. This stuff is for sale. As the ultimate "green" shopping experience, there is something to satisfy your nostalgic yearnings and peak your sentimental curiosities.

History

Established in 1991.

UO was born in 1991 as the brainchild of current proprietor, Steve Wiman, and his business partner at the time, Ed Gage. Steve and Ed grew the business from its original small location which housed 5 dealers to the larger space that the shop occupies today where 24 hardworking antiquers currently show and sell their treasures. This antiques Mecca in South Austin continues to attract sightseers, sophisticated shoppers and celebrities alike. With a reverence for history and a love of the old, Uncommon Objects is a genuinely green shopping experience with a little something for everyone.
