Veranda Magazine's Most Beautiful Shops for 2023

1) Astier de Villatte: Paris

The art and nuance of ceramics is celebrated at Astier de Villatte unlike anywhere else in the world. Located on rue Saint Honoré, the carefully preserved shop that’s the brainchild of Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli features floor-to-ceiling displays of whimsical yet precious objects including books (like the duo’s own guide to Paris), handmade ceramic wares (from egg cups to teapots), perfumes, and more.

2) Authentic Provence: West Palm Beach, Florida

Meandering the courtyards of Authentic Provence’s recently opened West Palm Beach flagship is like escaping to the French countryside, with inviting iron, wicker, and faux bois seating nestled among hand-carved limestone statuaries and fountains. The treasure hunt continues inside the 45,000-square-foot gallery teeming with French, Italian, and Scandinavian antiques that celebrate Europe’s mix of stylistic artistry.

3) Bard: Edinburgh, Scotland

Design writer Hugo Macdonald and architect James Stevens seek to enliven the daily lives of clientele through Scottish craft at their impeccably curated shop, Bard. The Edinburgh destination celebrates the past and future of Celtic art and design with their diverse collection of tableware, textiles, and décor created by local artisans. The online retail arm of the shop brings Macdonald and Stevens’s mission to a global audience.
