The Sablon district is the centre of Brussels antiques trade.
There is a really interesting antiques market on the weekends, which is well worth a browse, and plenty of cafe's nearby for refreshments. Leave a Comment Theme: AntiquesDirections: Sablon District

There were several stands which were selling old stuff, books, and records.
Someting old, you were looking for, for a long time, maybe you might find it here on this antiques market

The street markets in Brussels are a very colourful affair but really no different to street markets you can encounter anywhere in Europe. I was a bit disappointed to find the same bling bling jewellery and childrens' toys and puzzles we see here in the U.k. from continental Europe. Ah well we are also part of the European Union and you may find better markets in other locations
If you like tat buy it if not go to a reputable shop Leave a Comment

 Baden Baden - a bath by any
other name by GillianMcLaughlin
Yes Baden Baden is all this... and oh, so much more. This shop has been around as long as I've known the Marolles. In it you enter the most incredible voyage of discovery, all centering around the smallest room... but heavens, to plumb in some of what it offers for sale, I'd need to invest almost the entire floor space of my flat. The only aspect of the bathroom that a specialised museum coul ofer in addition to what you can find in Baden Baden, would probably be a Roman communal latrine!
Where on earth they have found their stock is a complete mystery. Over the years I've seen the perfect bathroom for the most demanding lounge lizard, enormous structures of chrome-covered pipes that at first look made me wonder just what kind of torture it might offer and ultimately tasteless but fantastic bathroom suites hewn entirely from marble.
Everything in this shop is restored to former glory and wonderfully presented. A museum could not do a better job!
Noy only baths, showers and toilets, but also everything else: taps, plugs, soap-dishes, cabinets... you name it.
In recent years they've also been doing a new line in contemporary kitchens, but I find that much less interesting that its main line.
Nothing, but nothing in this shop is cheap: I've found price tags in the past that reminded me of flat's I'd intended to buy in Edinburgh! But you don't come in here to buy. You come in here to be amazed. Leave a Comment Theme: Home FurnishingDirections: In the Marolles rue Haute - next to Rambagh. It's at the Sablon end of the rue Haute

 fountains a-plenty by GillianMcLaughlin
One weekend with no fanfare whatsoever, a true butterfly emerged. Brussels had never seen anything like it. Rambagh, like its sanitary neighbour, Baden Baden, stood more like a museum than a shop.
The first surprise was the size - it its on two floors with the dimensions of a warehouse. Then the decor: imaginative lighting, industrial bare wall style, sturdy metal staricases combine to give you the sense that the owners of this shop KNEW from the outset that they would be successful. There was nothing that suggested a stealthy approach.
On closer investigation you see that the shop is organised thematically: upstairs, a Japanese area, downstairs, a fabrics corner, enormous Indian, Indonesian and Malaysian furniture, out the back and up the stairs and area devoted to spiritual objets d'art, and in the small courtyard, a wide range of fountains and garden furniture.
Rambagh makes much of the care that is taken in selecting and restoring items.
You name it: everything from huge wooden swings, ancient doors and tables that can seat 20 people, all the way down to cushion covers, teas and books.
I do have reservations about stripping countries of their national treasures, and if I have a reservation about this shop it is that I am not entirely sure how they source their unrestored items. There is plenty of information about the restoration of ruined items which is done at source using local craftspeople.
How long is a piece of string??? Rambag's prices are comparable to similar shops, but the choice here is much more extensive.
