    Brass Knob

    This unique two-floor shop sells ‘rescues’ from old buildings: fixtures, lamps, tiles, mantelpieces and mirrors. The store’s raison d’être though is the doorknob – brass, wooden, glass, elaborate, polished and antique. The Brass Knob is an absolute fantasyland for anybody renovating (or even just living in) an old house or apartment. Staff can help you find whatever you need, and the classical music overhead adds to the charm.

    Miss Pixie’s

    One of the best places to browse in the neighborhood, Miss Pixie’s is piled high with relics from the past, from stuffed leather armchairs to 1960s lawn ornaments. You’ll find dishes, ashtrays, rocking chairs, black-and-white photos and plenty of other curiosities. There’s a cafe upstairs.

    Good Wood

    Even if you’re not in the market for a mid-century armoire, Good Wood is well worth a visit. This warm, atmospheric store has a fine selection of antiques, including handcrafted chairs and tables, elegant lamps and wall hangings, plus other decorative items.
