This is an Aladdin's cave of trinkets, treasures and art from the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia and China. This exotic bazaar and its sister shop down the road stock every curiosity from cricket balls and crystal doorknobs to lacquer cabinets and apothecary chests. The collection of original British Raj paraphernalia is exceptional. The shop staff will helpfully provide brief histories of the items on display. Many of the items are not just artistic but also functional. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
