Dorchester Curiosity Centre的点评
点评:As we were in Dorset & I was at a loose end, I went to a couple of 'antique' shops in Dorchester for a few hours.
Unimpressed by a visit to another establishment nearby, things hardly improved here.
The store is a vast area & full of what seems to be rejects from car boot sales. Lots of chipped ceramics of varying quality, musty old clothes, book & records. very little in the way of better antiques like silver, jewelry, watches, etc.
There was a huge amount of 'brown' furniture of varying quality, much of it wobbly reproduction & Ikea! There were even one or two Georgian items that had been 'upcycled' or as I prefer to say, ruined.
I only found two items that warranted the term antique furniture, both of exceptional quality, a linen press & a naval chest.
Only good point, plenty of free parking on a rundown industrial estate.
An antique centre it isn't, toot shop more like.
翻译:由于我们在多塞特郡,而且我闲着,所以我去了多切斯特的几家“古董”商店几个小时。
参观附近的另一家酒店并没有留下深刻的印象,这里的情况几乎没有改善。
这家商店面积很大,里面摆满了似乎是汽车后备箱销售中的废品。许多质量不一的碎瓷器、发霉的旧衣服、书籍和记录。很少有更好的古董,如银器、珠宝、手表等。
有大量质量参差不齐的“棕色”家具,其中大部分是摇摇欲坠的复制品和宜家!甚至有一两件格鲁吉亚物品被“升级改造”,或者用我更喜欢的话说,被毁坏了。
我只找到了两件符合古董家具一词的物品,它们的质量都非常出色,即亚麻压榨机和海军箱。
唯一的好处是,在一个破旧的工业园区里有充足的免费停车位。
它不是一个古董中心,更像是一个嘟嘟店。
