When You Can't Buy Anything, but if it had, this store would have been a surefire winner. Targeting and buying one or two items is only half the fun in this hypermarket, with spaces for more than 20 dealers, and with objects ranging from 40 to 150 years old.
Furniture is just the beginning here.
There are surprises every time you come, but if you're after something very specific, the staff will gladly help you find an item you might have overlooked in this expansive shop, or even put you in touch with a dealer who can search for it elsewhere. But those artists would be nothing without the right supplies. The store also does custom framing and carries museum-quality archival materials, to help ensure that today's painting or photo album is around for generations to come. The Guild's helpful staff takes the time to answer questions and give advice, in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. The Guild also runs an art school, which offers photography, painting, printmaking and pottery classes, as well as less traditional classes, like lampshade making and fabric design.
