Artifacts

This is a really cool spot in Iowa City. Wether you live here or are just here for a visit, it’s a must see. Really interesting items at a variety of price points. I could spend all day here diving into every corner. The staff is friendly, inclusive and knowledgeable about their items. Please support businesses like this one!

This place is my sanctuary, my happy place, and my go to for most antiquing. Todd, Steve and Margaret are also a main reason for shopping there, so friendly and informative. If you visit Iowa City, a stop at Artifacts is a MUST!!!!

If I could give more than 5 stars to Artifacts, my family wouldn’t hesitate. We met Todd in early February, 2020, after our father suddenly passed away. He was a collector of albums, DVDs, CDs, art and musical instruments and had a 5 bedroom house full of these belongings. All his children live out of Iowa. Many people in the Iowa City community verbally referred us to Artifacts to assist in having an estate sale, and we couldn’t be more relieved to have had this reference.nnTodd was personable and sympathetic, and professional We giggled about my father’s original art displays and he appreciated all aspects of our father’s belongings. He encouraged us to tell him stories of the various belongings. This obviously assisted him and his team in figuring out the pricing scheme, but he was genuinely interested in hearing the tales.nnWe were very fortunate to have scheduled the sale for the first weekend after the Coronavirus shut-down. Artifacts did all the organizing, pricing, selling, advertising - EVERYTHING! They ensured only 7 people were allowed on each floor at a time and no one was allowed entry without a mask. Even with torrential rains all morning and a tornado warning in the middle of the sale’s first day, the event went twice better than any of us expected. Artifacts assisted us after the sale and currently has many of our father’s belongings on consignment. After they left I seriously had only one load to the dump and 2 to charity.nnWe have no idea how we would have been able to do what Artifacts did for us. Their pricing is very fair, their staff is very friendly, and we cannot think of a thing they can do to improve.
