Like many other things about Austin, the city's antique shops are unique. For example, Uncommon Objects, a vintage-and-antique shop not far from Lamar Union on South Congress. The shop has a treasure trove of unique items gathered from estate sales and other sources, all presented in a way that makes the space equal parts art gallery and antique shop. Some Yelp reviewers note that you can spend a lot of time just browsing around the store; others note that you could spend a lot of money if you were to decide to buy everything object you found compelling.
If you're looking for a unique vintage piece to decorate your apartment, though, this may be one of the best places in Austin to find it. You can see some of the stuff on offer by visiting the gallery page of the Uncommon Objects website. There you'll see things like retro lamps, vintage jewelry, and even glass- and table-ware.
If you'd like to visit this Austin shop, Uncommon Objects is open daily from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
