TALKING SHOP

Set in the historic market town of Lewes, Pastorale Antiques hosts seven established dealers selling a range of antiques and vintage from 1700 to the 20th century. The focus is on one-off larger pieces such as dining tables, dressers and armoires, but smaller decorative items and accessories can also be found. Between the 17th-century frontage and the Victorian warehouses at the rear, a flower-filled courtyard plays host to Café du Jardin, the perfect spot for refreshment. (antiquessussex.co.uk)
