<p><em>The Thrie Estaits</em> 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.</p>
