The Lacquer Chest

This antiques shop on Kensington Church St is run by the incredible 90 year old Gretchen who still works nearly everyday and attends auctions and sales to find treasures for her shop.

She has two strands to the business – the original antique shop which opened in the 1950s, and a prop hire business which they introduced in the 90s. This antique shop takes up the ground floor and the prop house is the floors above the shop! It’s definitely worth a visit.

If you message them on Instagram, you can order some of the items they feature.
