DESIRABILIA
Finders Keepers: antiques and collectables for modern people
The statue of Greyfriars Bobby is the peg from which Candlemaker Row is hung like a scarf winding down to the Grassmarket. The street's name reminds us of far-off times lit by candles. Tallow candles were made here centuries ago. You would amble down from Greyfriars Bobby to my shop, "STILL LIFE", 54 Candlemaker Row, the former home of Desirabilia.com.
STILL LIFE closed down in October 2023, four months short of forty years of trading there, but Desirabilia continues online.
The Water of Leith from Bonnington Bridge, April 2020.
