In Short – The owner of this whimsical and offbeat North Beach shop, who spends half the year digging up treasures in Europe, brings back curios ranging from crumbling, gilded architectural elements to tiny cardboard medicine boxes; vintage Belgian muscle magazines to huge natural history charts; hand-carved wooden hourglasses to decaying religious sculptures. The stock is uniformly quirky, striking, surprisingly affordable and evocative of a somewhat mysterious time and place.
