Antique hunting tips for Manila

The dealers' own advice, for Manila:

• Check for woodworm (honestly) at Jo-Liza Antique Store. Old furniture sometimes has it. Look for the telltale holes, ask the dealer, and know it's treatable but real.
• Ask the dealer to teach you at Arvie's Antiques. Dealers who love their stock love talking about it. An hour of questions is a free education.
• Don't refinish good pieces. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.
• Go to the preview, not just the sale. Estate and auction previews let you inspect properly. The sale itself is theatre; the preview is work.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Manila — 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 Manila can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 9, or a antique store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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 9 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.
