Meet the pickers.

What makes us tick?

At Heimwee Antiques we’re all about the quirky and the unexpected—or what we like to call “old objects of desire”. Based in San Francisco, we run an online shop filled with one-of-a-kind objects that spark curiosity and make you smile.

You’ll find us exhibiting at shows like The All American Collector’s Show, The Taconic Antiques Fair, The Found Object Show, and Rhinebeck — where we love chatting with fellow antique dealers and delight our clients with our latest finds.

Whether it’s a beautiful patina or a certain charm you can’t fake, our curated collection of objects will surely fill your home with character and personality.
