Czech List

Nobody can deny the surpassing beauty of Prague. Even Parisians concede that the city has an architectural inventory and mesmerizing street ambience to rival their own. But Prague as an undiscovered Mecca for antiques collectors? Well, that I thought was a harder sell, having often visited the Czech capital and scoffed at the kitschy mementos on display in shops lining the tourist thoroughfares.

So it was with some skepticism that I agreed to a full-day tour of antiques dealers under the guidance of Karen Feldman, author of Prague: Artel Style, a paperback largely devoted to ferreting out the city’s best vintage clothing, jewelry, glassware and household furnishings. “In New York, London or Paris, you go to antique shops that specialize—you want a Bauhaus chair, you know exactly where to find it,” says Feldman. “In Prague, that is rarely the case. Most shops are generic, which means you have look around. But you will be rewarded.”

Feldman’s credentials are impressive. She moved from San Francisco to Prague in 1994 to oversee an American-owned shampoo factory. Instead, she fell in love with traditional Czech glass and crystal linked to Artel, an early 20th-century artisan workshop, and began to produce her own fine glassware under the same label—thus her guidebook’s title.

We begin in Malá Strana, the upscale district on the western side of the Vltava River where Prague Castle looms high above the Baroque churches and townhouses. On a curving medieval alley a short walk from the statue-studded Charles Bridge, I follow Feldman into Antiques Ahasver, best known for its vintage linens and clothes, including early 20th-century folk costumes. The owner speaks English and conveys what she knows—and readily admits what she doesn’t know—about the provenance of objects on sale in this appealingly cluttered two-room shop. She traces her interest in antique clothes to her father, a professional photographer who used them as props for his still lives and portraits. She apprenticed for years with an antiquarian who specialized in fabrics, and then opened her own shop a decade ago.
