On the ground floor of Owen Pacey’s house in London’sShoreditch, huge chandeliers dangle like dowager’s pendants from the rafters. Marble fireplaces, cool and veined, are propped next to gilded mirrors. This is Pacey’s architectural salvage shop, a twinkling, glinting emporium of architectural salvage sought out by supermodels, rock stars and everyday folk in search of the real deal.
