Originally founded as a comics shop, this Aladdin's cave is crammed to its rafters with antiques. Make your way through the lamps that hang like jungle creepers and peruse old dolls, framed prints and early 20th-century furniture, as well as pieces by the 19th-century Viennese designer Thonet. You might even find the shopkeeper hidden among it all.
