Specialising in furniture, lighting, decorative items, and an enviable selection of antique walking sticks and canes, it's a browser's paradise. The shop brims with Victorian settees, brass chandeliers that sparkle like gaslight memories, and canes with ivory handles carved by forgotten artisans. Sensory overload in the best way: brass polish mingles with aged leather, all housed in a quintessential Liberties storefront with bowed windows.
What to Expect
Curated 19th-century stock includes upholstered pieces, ornate mirrors, and functional decor. Walking sticks range from ebony swagger to silver-topped gentlemen's aids. Expert advice comes standard.
Insider Tips
Sundays often feature private sales; pop in unannounced. Nearby cafes fuel longer hunts. Focus on canes for unique gifts; they're collector favourites. DART to Heuston then walk, or bus from city centre. Liberties locals swear by pairing finds with Teeling Whiskey Distillery tours nearby. Elevate your interiors or collection with period authenticity that screams Dublin heritage.
