Garden lovers with a penchant for hard-to-find European antiques no doubt keep this Summerhill furniture shop on speed-dial. The back room and terrace host a treasure chest of outdoor gems, perfect for adding a touch of old-world charm to your urban backyard. Lighting options come in the form of large-scale candle holders, sconces and lanterns. In decor, French finds include a 19th-century wrought iron urn with delicate floral embellishment ($1,100) and an 18th-century stone capital ($895). Antique pieces from China are also unique—go for drama with a pair of four-foot-tall ceramic urns from the Shanxi province, originally used to store preserved duck eggs (or thousand-year-old eggs in clay, ash, salt and rice), a Chinese delicacy. For those trying to source less theatrical items, there’s an impressive selection of practical planters in every shape, size and colour imaginable.
