Step into a world of history, art, and the wonderfully unusual...
Visit Shop 13, where antique medical equipment and artwork create one of the most unique spaces in the mall. Medical history enthusiasts will be captivated by the impressive collection of antique apothecary bottles, clear glass vessels with hand-labeled tinctures, amber medicine bottles, and vintage pharmacy jars. There's even a white metal surgical tools case marked with a red cross, along with enamelware medical trays and fascinating vintage surgical instruments. A human anatomy textbook and antique medical reference books round out this distinctive niche.
The artwork on the walls is equally compelling. You'll find beautiful original paintings, from dreamy pastoral landscapes with rustic barns to impressionistic Parisian cityscapes featuring Sacre-Coeur and striking Native American portrait art. Elegant Venetian carnival masks in crimson and gold add a touch of theatrical drama, while a vintage Hearst's magazine cover print featuring a Red Cross nurse ties beautifully into the shop's antique medical equipment and artwork theme. A lovely vintage nurse's uniform with apron is perfect for collectors of historical clothing or theatrical costumers.
The treasures continue with a gorgeous antique Singer sewing machine in its ornate wooden cabinet, cast iron sad irons, and hand-painted Southwestern pottery. Browse Royal Doulton-style character Toby jugs, delicate hand-painted pilsner glasses, and striking green majolica-style ceramic vases. There's a whimsical white wicker birdcage, vintage pin-up collector plates, cast iron locomotive bookends, and antique books including a German edition of Grimm's fairy tales. Shop 13 is the kind of space that rewards curiosity and a willingness to explore the unexpected. For more original artwork and vintage paintings, browse Shop 12 nearby.
