The Knightsbridge store’s display is anchored by five exclusive sculptures from Burton’s private collection, derived from his iconic illustrations and previously exhibited around the globe. These unique pieces from The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories add a playful eeriness, imbuing the holiday displays with Burton’s darkly whimsical charm.
