 The Art of the Unusual: 21 Years of Collecting Beyond the Ordinary

Twenty-one years ago, we started a journey together. Over two decades later, our bond is stronger than ever, and so is our shared obsession with the unconventional.
While most couples bond over mainstream hobbies, we found our passion in the margins. We curate, collect, and sell the things most people walk right past—the strange, the historic, the beautiful, and the beautifully bizarre.
Our Golden Rule: Buy What You Love
From day one, we established a strict rule for our business and personal collection: We only buy items we would proudly keep for ourselves.
This philosophy changes everything. We don't chase fleeting market trends or look for quick, soulless flips. Every piece of inventory passing through our hands is something we genuinely appreciate. If an item never sells, it simply finds a permanent home on our shelves. This ensures that everything we offer has passed a strict test of personal passion and quality.
A Cabinet of Curiosities
Our taste leans heavily toward the unusual. Walk into our world, and you might encounter:
  • Antique Taxidermy: Preserved history that captures a dark, Victorian aesthetic.
  • Oddities & Toys: Nostalgic, strange, or slightly eerie playthings from bygone eras.
  • Erotic Art & Literature: Celebrations of human passion, history, and form through rare books and provocative fine art.
We believe art should stir emotion, push boundaries, and spark a conversation. For us, erotica in art and print is a beautiful, timeless expression of that philosophy.
Timeless Glitter: Antique and Vintage Costume Jewelry
While one side of our world focuses on the strange and avant-garde, the other sparkles with history. My wife has spent years cultivating a deep expertise in antique and vintage costume jewelry.
This isn't just about sparkle; it is about wearable art. From the bold, geometric lines of Art Deco pieces to the heavy, glamorous mid-century signed runway brooches, these items carry a story. They represent eras where craftsmanship mattered, allowing people to express their individuality without saying a word.
Two Decades, One Vision
After 21 years together, our collection has become a living map of our relationship. Every oddity, every piece of glittering rhinestone, and every rare erotic sketch tells the story of where we’ve been and what caught our eye along the way.
We don't just sell items; we share a viewpoint. We invite you to step away from the mass-produced and join us in celebrating the strange, the beautiful, and the wonderfully unique.
