Artifacts

cora and i from san jose, calif (silicon valley) were on business/​vacay trip to look for rental properties to buy and we were lost again. — – pittsburgh has very confusing signs/​or no signs — — — — slammed on breaks when we saw the word antique and went inside it was like a museaum. lots of taxidermy pieces, beautiful heavy pieces and lots of rugs, décor, not much in collectibles. some newer décor that was high end but not vintage
the prices are high but the quality is excellent there are a few inexpensive pieces mixed in, but this place is huge. — — — — — — — — — — — — – its in elliott, pa right off freeway 51 — — — — — p.s. i ended up moving to PITTSBURGH CUZ CALIF IS SOOOOO EXPENSIVE and i got in here about once a month just to look around. its like a free museaum.

We had a wonderful experience at Artifacts. I had been looking for a leather club chair, made in the USA of top grain leather for three years. Each time I would find a chair my heart would be broken when I would find that it was not made in the USA.
Michael is a dealer for Hancock and Moore and gave us a great deal on my beautiful leather club chair and ottoman. My husband was thrilled with the price and the fact that it is an American made chair. The quality is exceptional.
I would recommend Artifacts for service, quality of product, and fair pricing on their products. They are not just antiques, although they have some amazing antiques. Their oriental rug selection is also exception with a knowledgeable staff to assist you.

It isn’t just an antique store. It’s Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, a classical art museum, and an opulent hunters’ african mansion rolled into one.
The first floor is an enormous fort filled with oriental rugs, furniture, and a 12 foot taxidermy giraffe head. The second floor feels like getting lost
in the fortified mansion of a foreign dictator. Artifacts is an admission-​free museum where you won’t learn a thing.
Unfortunately, don’t expect any curios. Mostly large pieces: furniture, rugs, enormous bird cages. Sometimes it may feel a bit like a Pier 1 for excessively wealthy people.
Something a bit odd: On the second floor, seated at a four hundred year old dining table are life-​size plush dwarfs from the Disney store with a price tag of about $ 1200.
