I recently had the pleasure of visiting Artifacts in Pittsburgh, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience for any lover of unique art and antiques. Walking through their thoughtfully curated space felt like stepping into a living museum where every piece tells a story. The highlight of my visit was discovering this stunning oversized art piece that now graces my foyer wall. The scale and presence it brings to the space is remarkable - it's become not just a decoration but a true conversation starter with a nearly half century from the late artist. What makes Artifacts special is that they don't just sell items; they connect you with pieces that resonate personally. The owner guided me through the selection process with knowledge and patience. They took time to understand my aesthetic preferences and space requirements, then introduced me to several one-of-a-kind options. There was never any pressure - just genuine enthusiasm for helping match the right artifact to the right home. What sets Artifacts apart is their commitment to authenticity and history. Each antique, whether a mid-century modern chair, an art deco lamp, or a Victorian side table, comes with its own provenance and story. The owner even delivered the mid century art piece we purchased himself! If you appreciate the thrill of discovering something truly unique that nobody else will have, I highly recommend visiting Artifacts.

Full of stunning, showstopper pieces. super interesting to walk through, though be be warned they're priced accordingly, you aren't finding a table here for 50 bucks. if you have the cash to spend though, or just like looking through the collection and daydream about working the lottery, it's definitely the place to go! (there's a buzzer next to the door to call someone to let you in, you don't have to call the number if someone's in the building)

We have really enjoyed all of our trips to Artifacts. The inventory is awesome, and the prices are very fair. When we go for 3 hours seems like 15 minutes, because of the fantastic selection of items to choose!! You will be stimulated by all of the different room setups, which in turn will give you great ideas for your home or work.
