The Season's Selection

Chosen from the front window

A short list of the things we are most pleased with this month.

Since 1892

A shop that has never been in a hurry

We began as a single counter selling lamp oil, writing paper and tea. Four generations later the ledger is thicker but the rule has not changed: stock nothing we would not keep ourselves.

Everything we sell can be repaired, and we will tell you how. Bring a piece back and we will do our best to put it right.

What our customers write back

★★★★★
The lamp arrived wrapped in paper and straw, with a note on how to trim the wick. Nobody does that any more.

★★★★★
I have bought from this shop three times. Everything has outlasted what it replaced.
Sana R. · Lahore
★★★★
A hinge came loose after a year. They told me exactly how to fix it and sent the screw at no charge.
