Old as Adam Antiques & Americana is curated by owner Adam Irish with a focus on folk art, evocative found objects, and American material culture.
New pleasing and peculiar finds land in the store every week, including fine, folk and found art, design, furnishings, ephemera, textiles, and curiosities. Although led with an eye open to the unusual and expected, Old as Adam also maintains specific interest areas, including self-taught work, period signs and advertising, vintage clothing, antique toys, and early photography. We buy.
From time to time the Old as Adam store hosts Found Object Gallery exhibitions, which feature collections of objects bound by a different conceptual thread. The thematic exhibitions take a nuanced view of the material past to explore the chance poetics, contemporary relevance, and unintentional wisdom of old things lost and found.
