Old World Antieks

May 12, 2023: Visited again with my daughter...this pace is incredible. You can spend 2-3 hours just exploring all of the treasures both inside and out. What's special about this place are the people who work here. The folks moving items and stocking things always asked if we had questions. Owner Amy and Lena were so kind answering our questions and even entertaining us. This place is eye opening when it comes to the depth of antiques from all over the world. Highly recommend you visit this spot just to enjoy the collectionSept 2022: I would not have noticed this place had it not been for the Texas Trooper writing someone a ticket in front of the store. I’ve visited antique stores all over America but this place is unreal. It’s not our typical roadside place with vendors selling their wares…this place is organized and impressive with the quality and quantity of items available. I was also told they have two other locations storing more treasures. There were so many people working there, moving things, organizing, and unloading shipping containers full of more treasure. But they have a system, and their organization would rival many military supply warehouses.I wish I could have spent more time here, there is so much to see and explore. I did have a chance to talk to Carla about the store and a little about her background…she is such a wealth of knowledge and wonderful to talk to. Matter of fact, everyone I came across there was friendly and welcoming. I hope I can squeeze some time in to visit them again soon. I took pictures of some of the treasures that fascinated me the most.

Huge inventory of antiques and oddities. Anyone looking for an original piece for their home should definitely take a gander inside. Located conveniently right off the highway.

This was a very incredible store. They have more things and you can look at in one visit. You have to go back multiple times to see everything in the store.

Awesome store. Eclectic items. Never know what you will find. I have gotten many pieces from here but my tv stand is one of my favorites! Staff helpful. Always recommending to others for one of a kind pieces

This place is wayyy bigger than it looks! Lots of cool stuff, the staff were all helpful and friendly without being too pushy or doing that “hover” thing. Expect to spend and hour or more wandering around.

Great stop! Beautiful store with some gorgeous taxidermy. However, we found very few true antiques, but there were numerous pretty reproductions.

Staff is friendly and there are plenty of interesting, attractive items, but the prices are unreal. Who is paying hundreds of dollars for a rotted-out door? You can expect to pay thousands of dollars if you want anything in useable condition.

Wow. Hard to even give one star but won't post unless you do. Bought 2 chairs in July of 2021, PAID IN FULL AT TIME OF PURCHASE and was told in April of 2022 that I would need to pay an extra $900 PER CHAIR to take delivery because of price increases. I had NEVER heard of such a thing and wrote a long letter to the owners through the sales division giving them the opportunity to respond before posting a negative review and never heard one thing back from them. While they did refund my money, they clearly have no interest in honoring a sale nor responding to a customer. No one else does this, despite price increases. My friend purchased 2 chairs from Pottery Barn around the same time, waited the same amount of time, and there wasn't any increase. Once a sale is made, do the right thing and give your customers what they paid for. I had shopped there several times before, spent a lot of money, but will never shop there again. Poor, poor business practices.

I have visited this location a few times now and have always been impressed with the selection and quality of the pieces they have in stock. However, on my last visit I drove (4 hour round trip) with the intent of purchasing a $2k cabinet listed as being in stock on the website. Unfortunately, the piece had been sold 4 months prior but no one has bothered to update the website inventory. An individual working the check out counter confirmed the website is never updated and is unreliable and further acknowledged they should really warn people of this... I guess the lesson to be learned is don't go there with any expectations.

Stumbled upon this exquisite place today and bought a few pieces at really reasonable prices. I was thrilled to learn that they offer discounts for Hurricane Harvey victims if you provide your FEMA ID number. Dixie was wonderfully helpful and fun too! Highly, highly recommend!!! I will be back soon to buy more items once my home is rebuilt.

Stopped in out if curiosity and was blown away by this place. HUGE inventory of old world (think French castles), iron, doors, lighting, and just about anything that ever existed. Wife and I were constantly amazed by how clean and well maintained the facilities were. Especially loved the huge selection of doors in the barn to left as you arrive. Even if you dont need architectural antiques, this place is worth the visit

great place for a long or short visit. we have been visiting since they first opened. Staff members are very accommodating and helpful, willing to work with any budget and desire. Very creative reuse of old industrial items and beautiful antiques of all kinds on display. well worth your time even if your not in the market for more stuff. Great for inspiration and ideas plus they can wire anything!

My talented decorator wifey loves this place. We stop here on EVERY SINGLE TRIP down Hwy 71 to Austin. They have bazillions of unique pieces that cannot be found anywhere else. Great prices, wreaths stuff.

Such a great place right on Hwy 71. We found this location on our trips back and forth from Austin to Houston, Texas. They have beautiful unique items from a wide range of countries. We would highly recommend some time to poke around and see what interesting treasures you can find. It will let your imagination whirl with ideas.

Most amazing place to shop for a huge variety of old & new items. The staff here is absolutely wonderful! Couldn't ask for better people to deal with.Tell them Kozette sent you🌞

Amazing selection. Staff is exceptional. Incredible engraved doors. Rustic lighting ideas. You can buy theirs or create your own. Best antique shop I've been to.

Shady. I think they spell it as antieks instead of antiques to avoid law suits. They have some actual antique/vintage pieces but a lot of the stuff they carry are reproductions. I wouldn’t mind this if they clearly labeled pieces as antique or reproduction. Caveat emptor because they don’t actually bother to distinguish. If you want some overpriced airnailed piece that has old carpentry joins painted on then this is your place. If you want real antiques drive a little further and hit up the places in Round top.

What a great find. Was shopping at Roundtop, TX and saw some of their pieces at the Compound. Bought it on the spot and went to the store the next day to pick it up. Wow is about all I can say. If your looking for one of a kind and at a reasonable price, this is it. Teresa Mandola helped us complete our purchase and was there the next day when we picked it up. She truly loves her job and is a people person(maybe cause she’s a little bit CAJUN). My kitchen trolley cart is perfect. Wish I had found the store sooner.
