Timeless Treasure
-
104 Rue Primevère, New Versailles
Tucked away neatly in the Historic District of New Versailles, an old brick building is edged in black and gold. Antiquities, priceless and curious, are visible in the plate glass windows. Some are sold for pennies on the dollar. Others for fortunes that would make most think twice. Everything has been painstakingly collected and cataloged, handwritten tags detailing what the items are and their asking price.
The proprietress is one Dr. Lilyth Tinker, sister of Dr. Cayne Tinker, President of the local university. While she teaches courses during the week, she can often be found in the shop on her days away from campus, especially on the weekends. She seems to have followed in her elder brother's footsteps, and a distinct air of fascination colors her every word when asked about the antiquities in her shop.
Carrying everything from vintage clothing to ancient curiosities, Timeless Treasure is literally a one-stop-shop for your decorating needs. There are also rumors that the proprietress is willing to acquire true rarities, if the price is right. Most everything in the shop is completely mundane, but for those in the know, magical curiosities may be found there. Dr. Tinker prefers not to trade in cursed items, but should the price be right...almost anything is possible.
The shop caters to many tastes. From Victorian curiosities to books both rare and common, Lilyth has ensured that she has something for almost every budget. The shop is a little cluttered by the woman's eclectic taste, but her sense of organization ensures that it feels cozy rather than claustrophobic. There are chairs in secluded corners for reading, though every single piece of furniture has a price tag.
Tucked away in a far corner is an ornate wrought iron staircase leading up to the second floor of the shop. A velvet rope blocks customers from entering. The doll's private quarters are up the stairs, and she jealously guards her privacy. The balcony above the door boasts a number of well-kept plants, and there are rumors of a rooftop garden and hot tub...but who can know for sure?
