What to buy: Included are some spectacular centerpieces, bowls, serving dishes and candelabra in silver plate, as well as unusual items such as sets of 12 or 24 sterling silver canisters. The shop is renowned for its bestiary in silver and lacquer, featuring peacocks, giraffes, horses, dogs, turtles, owls and more—great as gifts or for forming an interesting collection

What to pay: Very expensive, but looking costs nothing and worth a visit.
