Central Texas, aside from being known for its rolling hills and ample wineries and breweries, is also home to dozens of
antique shops from Burnet to New Braunfels. Antique shopping, also known as antiquing, involves the hunt for items
from another period. To make antiquing a little easier, we have provided a regional guide with suggestions of shops to
visit both in and outside of Austin as well as suggestions for antiquing daytrips to Burnet, Bastrop and the New Braunfels/
Gruene areas where many stores are within walking distance of each other or a quick drive apart. This guide is not
comprehensive.

For 20 years, Antique Gallery has been a destination for shoppers who
are looking for a large piece of wooden furniture or the perfectly jeweled
bauble.
With 30,000 square feet and 167 booths, it is hard to determine a
specific style the gallery has, Manager Melody Morgan said. However,
nothing from the ’80s or newer makes it into the store.
Recently Morgan said she has noticed teacups, saucers and old

“We find things that are pretty, items that you would see in [store fliers] like ‘Pottery Barn’ but real. I want the real thing,” Sierra said.
Gypsies is also the go-to place for repurposing or making over furniture, she said. The business sells Milk Paint and CeCe Caldwell Paints,
both of which add an aged look to pieces, Sierra said.

The boutique-style shop specializes in antique and vintage pieces

“I look for items from Europe and all over the world that are chic, edgy
[and] have charm and character for your home,” she said.
Gypsies Antiques carries a variety of items from flatware to furniture.
The store also has a boutique in the back that carries casual and evening
dresses, hats, purses and shoes.
Sierra said she tries to go back in time as far as possible when choosing new items to put in the store, but doesn’t stock anything that is more

Owner Jessica Lee Miller specializes in restoring pre-1950s art and
selling antiques at her business, White Morpha Fine Art Restoration and
Gallery.
Miller said she previously worked with the late art restorer George
Attal at Austin Galleries on Sixth Street in Austin. She now focuses
mainly on restoring oil paintings from the 1700s and later. Most
antiques in the shop predate the 1960s and include home decor, lighting and furniture that has been upcycled, meaning an item has been
repurposed for reuse or a new use.

1. Black Swan Antiques
at Hampe House
Art lovers can appreciate the collection found at Lost Pines Art
Bazaar, which offers Persian rugs, art and European furniture dating
back to the 17th century, said Gallery Manager Naseem Khonsari,
whose father, Kazem, started the business out of his love for Persian
rugs and antiques.
“He has always appreciated antiques,” she said. “He picks all the
pieces.”
Khonsari said the 6,000-square-foot showroom has items at a
variety of price points. She said the store recently started selling items
by Europe 2 You, which repurposes 19th century European timber into
kitchen items, such as knife blocks and cutting boards.
