    Copeland & De Soos

    Specialising in late 19th- and 20th-century decorative art and design (think Art-Nouveau and Art-Deco furniture), this charming store also does a nice line in 20th-century jewellery, such as big resin bangles and Scandinavian silver. Service is friendly and knowledgable.
