ERIE BASIN Located in Brooklyn’s Red Hook, where you may not expect to find a beautiful curation of antique and fine jewellery. Owner Russell Whitmore has an eye for remarkable pieces and curious 18th–20th century furniture. He also has his own line of jewellery, EB, which is made in New York. eriebasin.com

BELLOCQ A tea atelier unlike any other. Think wabi-sabi travels to Paris, with other exotic stops on the way back to Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Try beautiful single-leaf, organic and herbal teas in a gorgeous setting with covetable packaging – it’s hard to go past tea named Gypsy Caravan, The Queen’s Guard or White Wolf. bellocq.com

PAULA RUBENSTEIN A one-stop prop shop that was my go-to in my years working as a stylist in NYC. Paula is a seasoned buyer and fossicker with a sophisticated eye. The store is an extension of her, with all manner of things to choose from: American-indian rugs, mannequins, leather balls, blocks and bolts, to name but a few. Expect the unexpected. paularubenstein.com

BDDW For New York and its limited space, I love the grand scale of this place. Big furniture and a choice of raw pieces of wood to make into your own bespoke table are what you’ll find. The styling is spectacular, with crazy things in crazy corners. All the hardwood pieces are designed and created by founder Tyler Hays. bddw.com

MANTIQUES MODERN For those who’ve seen A Single Man directed by Tom Ford, I think he may have sourced the furniture and props here. American in nature, these are designer pieces from different 20th-century eras that sit proudly in architecturally designed spaces but are not to be taken too seriously. mantiquesmodern.com
