Collected Things No. 1

An American Heirloom Archive of 48 photographed artifacts gathered from antique stores, family collections, flea markets, and forgotten corners.

Created for designers, art directors, makers, and storytellers, this collection preserves the texture, wear, and character found in everyday objects—from books and letters to cameras, locks, measuring tools, receipts, tobacco tins, and heirlooms.

Unlike many vintage asset collections assembled from public-domain scans or found imagery, every artifact in this archive was personally collected, photographed, isolated, and prepared for creative use.
