Surrounded by baroque murals and frescos are bed linens, home textiles and lamps embellished with winged penises. Erotic Rococo motifs decorate fine lingerie and negligee. Silk panties printed with Marquis de Sade’s portrait. Designer Renate Christian’s specialty is tailor-made corsets in brocade, duchess silk and velvet.

The store’s name is take from de Sade’s “Philosophy in the Boudoir: or, Immoral Mentors.” Perhaps it is not coincidental that Freud’s office is just down the street.
