The Thrie Estaits was an emporium of wonders. Set up by Peter Powell in Edinburgh in the early 1980s, the shop on Dundas Street in the heart of the New Town, was a treasure trove of the eclectic, the beautiful and the quirky. It was hard to find a shop like it, and for nearly forty years it was the go-to for extraordinary works of art. He is now a freelance specialist in the decorative arts. Peter trained in silversmithing at Glasgow School of Art in the late 1960s and after graduating worked at Elders in Charing Cross, Glasgow.
