Trying to re-find antique tool shop in Paris

On our last trip I went in a little shop on the first floor of what appeared to be someones home. They had wonderful and expensive chip carved and relief carved antique tools in the windows and inside. At the time, 2007, there was an incredible antique carved treadle lathe in the window.

I am pretty sure it was on Ile St. Louis, and on a corner. I seem to remember that it was on a street nearest the river but when I go on google maps street view I can%26#39;t seem to find it. Maybe I have the wrong Island.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

We are going back on Thursday and I am hoping that the shop is still there.

Thanks

OK. more information. It was not on the island it seems, and I was combining two different shops. The lathe was in a shop in the 9th, somewhere very near the A La Mere%26#39; Famille, as the picture was taken just a couple minutes after the pictures of the Famille.

The chip carved tools were taken somewhere between a garden supply shop near the river, after leaving the tall statue at Pont du Chance and heading in the general direction of the Cluny museum.

Any chance of this being such a place?

Thanks Kerouac. No that%26#39;s not it but it is now on the list of places to see when we are there next week. Thanks for the find.

This may not be of any help to anyone in locating the place you are looking for but it just might help you when you are searching for it %26quot;on the ground.%26quot; I think you mean the Pont au Change on the right bank side of the Île de la Cité, but the %26quot;tall statue%26quot; must presumably be the statue of Ste. Geneviève. That statue is on the Pont de la Tournelle, quite some distance upstream on the LEFT bank side of the Île St. Louis.

(Ste. Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, was a nun whose prayers were credited with stopping the advance of the Huns led by Attila who were threatening Paris in the 5th century. Hence the reason that she is facing to the east. The statue is by Paul Landowski.)
