Item: The appearance of taste, sophistication, and a rich inner life through the ownership of authentic Shanghainese antique furniture.

Store: Bai Sher -- 866 Yan’an Lu, near Shaanxi Lu

Costs: Varying items -- lamps (200rmb and up); boxes and chests (100rmb and up); drawers, desks, chairs, chests, armoires, tables, and more (100rmb and up, up, up).

We're taking a respite from the usual "Covet" column regressions into juvenile wish fulfilment, to feature a store with interesting and unique items that you might actually want to purchase.

The first thing that strikes you when you enter the two-room Bai Sher antique furniture shop is the smell. A small shore housing a jumble of oak, teak, wicker, and pine furniture, Bai Sher exudes that classic old time-y Grandma’s attic smell. Ah, the musty scent of bygone class, authenticity, and elegance. And just like an old attic, if you spend some time poking through the random collection of items therein, you're sure to come up with interesting pieces worthy of rescue.

Culled from Shanghainese homes, the majority of Bai Sher's wares are furniture, but they also have an assortment of unique lamps, ceramics, and glassware, as well as a few singular items (an antique fire extinguisher, metal fans, a much beleaguered barber's chair in the veranda out front, and antique wood and iron tricycles).

Bai Sher's stock is mainly Shanghainese (with a few items from Tianjin) and is from the 1920s - 30s -- lots of thick and serious oak and teak. The whole time I was poking around in there I kept thinking of that famous scene in Empire of the Sun with the main character staggering past all those Shanghainese antiques abandoned in the desert. They have an abundance of art deco-style furniture, with the requisite Cultural Revolution-era antiques as well. The English-speaking staff is really nice and helpful, and Bai Sher also maintains a blog right here, if you'd like to stay up-to-date on new items that come into the shop.

In addition to an antiques shore, Bai Sher is also a pottery and ceramic workshop. They're open to the public daily from 5pm until 10pm, and its 50rmb for one hour. When you finish your masterpiece you let it set for a week and then return to decorate it free of charge. The picture below is the workshop in the back:

 Bai Sher is at 866 Yan’an Lu, facing the Yan’an highway on the north side of the street just east of Shaanxi Bei Lu. They're open every day from 12pm until 10pm.

为何民国?有牌为证"金城银行",

这段时间民国电视剧非常盛行,正巧在某部电视中提到"金城"

于是谷歌了一下

金城银行

　　金城银行由中国近代金融界知名人士周作民于1917年5月15日创办，其主要股东多为军阀官僚，是中国重要的私人银行之一。金城银行“名曰金城，盖取金城汤池永久坚固之意”，最早总行设于天津，先后在京、沪、汉等地开设分行。由于经营得法，业务发展迅速，1936年金城银行的存款达1.83亿元，一度超过上海商业储蓄银行，居私营银行首位。1936年总行迁往上海，天津改为分行。1952年12月金城银行参加天津金融业公私合营，与其他银行合并组成统一的公私合营银行。

衣架上的另一标牌

——“公私合营上海分行”倒能印证金城银行解放后合并为公私合营的历史
