Mallett Antiques
For a true dose of English culture, there’s Mallett, a 151-year-old dealer in largely 18th-century and Regency period antiques. Its headquarters in the Ely House, a 1700s townhouse originally inhabited by a bishop, feels a bit like the original owner never left: Each gallery is fully dressed as a period room of rare clocks, paintings, furniture, and other objets d’arts. As a result, shopping there is like perusing a museum-quality exhibition you can actually take home.
