Antik Objetos con Alma

The most notorious picture that will catch your eye about Antik is that it is situated outside the main tour.The owners of this antiques and furniture shop decided to establish themselves at Riachuelo, a charming town 12 Km away from Colonia city. After a wonder through, you will be tempted to enjoy the surroundings and a coffee with cakes and home made cookies.

My wife and I were walking the Mercado when the window display of this shop stopped us in our tracks. When we went in we found a fantastic amount of all types of local art ranging from pottery to paintings to wood to whatever else you can imagine. The owners were happy to discuss any of the pieces and were extremely helpful. We bought 3 pieces of pottery (I am a sucker for local pottery and the prices here were very reasonable compared to others I have found in various places in the world) and two pieces of a type of wood art that I have only seen in a few other places. We had the pieces shipped to our home in the US. They arrived undamaged and were packaged extremely well. There was also good communication via email between the time we left and when the items arrived at home. I don't know if I will ever make it back to this part of the world but if I do I will definitely return to this shop.

La Escondida

A fantastic find in Montevideo. Friendly service from a family business with beautiful products. Ponchos, leatherwork and artisanal craftsmanship. Very highly recommended for gifts and a taste of the local colour. You won’t find a bigger smile in all the city.
