Silver Shop

I’m going to make a few admissions here that might bring us all a little closer:
1) I love Time Team (but not the long haired guy in denim cutoffs)
2) I love antiques (but cannot afford them… yet)
3) I have spent upwards of an hour browsing the back hall at Powerscourt looking at antique cutlery, brooches and snuff boxes.
4) I always start at The Silver Shop.
There’s not much room to wander in The Silver Shop’s cramped digs — more space is given to the wares than customer elbow room. Here you’ll get up close and personal with an eclectic collection of silver plate and delicate jewellery, culled from over 200 years of Irish collections. I’m not sure exactly how prices in here are set, but there’s enough range to allow for budgets from € 40 (a tiny 70’s era pendant) to over € 4,000 (a silver and cobalt dish… yikes!).
The shop is open Monday to Saturday, leaving my Sundays open for tea, cupcakes and Discovery +1 reruns of Tony and the gang digging in fields.
