#ShopSmall and support small businesses on November 26th!


Small Business Saturday is Saturday November 26th. Weisshouse has relied on the support of our community for over 50 years, and this year we're giving back by taking 15% off all vintage. We're fully stocked with incredible one-of-a-kind items from High Point Market, so check a few names off your holiday shopping list while supporting small businesses.


Preview a few of our favorite finds from our recent buying trip below.

Ground your living room in rust belt charm with this salvaged factory trolly. Beautifully aged oak slats create an expansive surface atop a solid iron base.
An incredible statement piece! This antique clock face was salvaged from the clock tower of a late 19th century church. Solid cast iron with well worn paint finish reveals the aged patina.

Imbue your dining room with European elegance. This set of deep hued, cafe chairs offer both comfort and classic French style. A slatted back provides ample support, and bentwood details throughout the construction. Circa 1920.

The Art of Discovering Unique Objects


One of our main goals during our trip to High Point Market is keeping an eye out for unique objects and one of a kind artwork that will help give our clients space that extra layer of detail. From discarded industrial parts to outsider art, these accessories help to bring a rich history and give your home a "lived in" look that is impossible to achieve from a big box store.

Our new trove of vintage is making it's way back to Pittsburgh, but in the meantime we're looking back on some of our favorite finds from over the years.

This aluminum sculpture was found in an artist's studio after being traded for a painting. One panel shows the original artists signature. Crafted in the 1980s, the expert welding shows the artist's raw talent. Shop this item.


Large vintage passenger plane model sits regally atop a tall stand. Light and airy with a hollow metal frame that shows signs of wear along surface. Shop this item.

This playful oversized print of the three little pigs tie together the color scheme of this retro vignette.




A vintage 1960s architectural model was found in Atlanta, Georgia. The strong lines of the design provide a graphic accent with a great backstory. Shop this item.

A series of self portraits painted over a 20 year period create a bold backdrop with a soothing color palette in the bedroom of Weisshouse owner Stacy Weiss. See more of Stacy's layered looks on Pittsburgh Magazine.
This piece has stood the test of time, originally a childs toy from Sweden. Horse hide over wooden form. Reins leather. Platform is painted wood with metal wheels that roll well. Circa 1870. Shop this item.

Stay tuned for updates as we announce our new stock in from High Point!

Wild Style: Add Natural Elements with a Southwestern Flair



 At Weisshouse, we're all about mixing styles to make your space a true reflection of your personality.  Bringing in natural elements and southwestern textiles is a great way to add warmth to your space. Center your design around classic frames and timeless pieces, adding funky accessories with both a rich texture and a rich history. 

Contrast and balance is key. Try pairing rustic elements with mid century and vintage pieces. The warm wood tones in our favorite mid century finds work well with kilims and hides. Check out some of favorite looks from around the web below.
