Hi there,

According to the partial carvings on the folding gate by the right (I could only make out four Chinese words, which is 船燈機器, where 船燈 means marine lamps used on ships/boats and 機器 means machinery), this is a shop specialized on some shipping equipments like lamps and other iron works (like the pile of bells.  Not necessary iron works, but it is metal works alrights.  Some of the lamps could be seed hoisted up the ceiling.

Thanks & Best Regards,

T
