Antique hunting tips for Montevideo

The dealers' own advice, for Montevideo:

• Check for woodworm (honestly) at El Greco. Old furniture sometimes has it. Look for the telltale holes, ask the dealer, and know it's treatable but real.
• Keep receipts and records at Nigro. For anything valuable, keep the receipt and the dealer's description. Provenance starts with you.
• Learn the marks. Maker's marks, hallmarks, factory stamps — they're the ID cards of antiques. A loupe and a marks guide change everything.
• Ask the dealer to teach you. Dealers who love their stock love talking about it. An hour of questions is a free education.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Montevideo — 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 Montevideo can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 2 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 2 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.
