Curiosities

A curiosities shelf in Cincinnati for the thing you can't explain to a houseguest without a story: that's the whole idea behind this collection.

Out of our Over-the-Rhine showroom, we carry mounted taxidermy and hides, antique finds, and sculptural objects that don't sort neatly into any other department, sourced from specialty oddity dealers and estate finds alongside the occasional stray from a design project.

Everything here passed one test: does a stranger stop, stare, and ask where it came from? If the answer was no, it didn't make the shelf.

High St. is not a curiosity shop stacked with things nobody wanted. We are a design destination, and the oddities here are chosen with the same eye we bring to furniture and lighting — for how a strange thing anchors a room, not just how strange it is.

Whether you're finishing a room that needs one thing nobody can name, or you just like the hunt, this is the shelf built for that. Pair a piece from here with something from our housewares collection and let the room do the talking.

What Counts as a Curiosity

Taxidermy and mounted specimens: zebra hides, cowhides, peacock mounts, and other pieces that read as more sculpture than trophy.

Antique and estate finds: objects with a previous life, sourced through specialty dealers rather than a catalog.

Sculptural oddities: the pieces that don't sort into any other department but earn a spot anyway.

Chosen by the Same Eye That Runs the Floor

High St. has operated on Reading Road for over 20 years, and the same in-house design team that selects furniture and lighting for projects across the region decides which oddity earns a spot here. A strange object still has to work in a room, not just get a reaction.
