Tucked away in the Marais, is an interesting little shop specializing in antique keys, corkscrews, knives, and locks. The owner,
M. Mark Feldman is a bit of an expert and has written a book on keys that he proudly showed me. This is one of those tiny little specialty shops that make Paris such a delightful place to wander and discover.

There is something special about a ring of old keys.
ReplyDeleteOh V! I have been missing a key to a bookcase door for the past 29 years. You couldn't get that clutch of keys sent over here could you?
ReplyDeleteI like old big keys very much! They have such an history, and they're always beautiful!This book must be very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love keys! This would indeed be a special spot to discover!
ReplyDeleteWell now I'm really curious as to what a whole book on keys might have to say...
ReplyDeleteI love the little shops like that - don't find them out here.
ReplyDeleteNow, THIS is a little store that I would enjoy seeing. On the list for the next time I go to Paris.
ReplyDeleteAnd I bent the key to my cedar chest. Maybe ce gentil monsieur can help me out. (I like a guy who can pull off a scarf AND the color pink! He looks like a lovely man.)
