About

This is an archive of collected objects.

Every piece is original. Every piece has lived another life.

I have been collecting for as long as I can remember. It began with rocks as a child and evolved naturally over the years. I have always been drawn to strange objects with fascinating stories.

Antiques have been part of my life for generations. Both of my grandfathers were antique dealers, and one sold valuable artifacts to help his family emigrate from war-torn Lebanon to build a new life in North America. Some of my earliest memories are of spending weekends at estate sales, flea markets, and antique shops with my father. Those experiences shaped the way I see objects, not simply as possessions, but as valuable fragments of history.

Today, I travel in search of pieces that truly resonate with me. They come from many places and cultures, but they each carry evidence of another time, place, and story.

The archive includes antique and vintage objects spanning ritual, medicine, natural history, photography, folklore, vice, belief, the occult, and the unusual. They are not collected simply for novelty, but for the stories they tell and the questions they continue to ask. 

Every object outlives its original owner.
With enough care, it can outlive us as well.

History survives because someone chooses to collect and preserve it.
