Antique hunting tips for Lima

Hunting antiques in Lima? A few rules help:

• Check the back and underside at Christie's Antiques. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Learn to spot married pieces at Rosita. Furniture assembled from mismatched parts — 'married' — is worth far less. Check that everything matches in age and style.
• Don't refinish good pieces. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.
• Check the smalls. The glass cases of small items — buttons, tools, oddments — reward the patient browser disproportionately.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Lima — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Lima can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 3 that's closed, or a great antique store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
