Antique hunting tips for San Juan

Hunting antiques in San Juan? A few rules help:

• Check the back and underside at Ecomania. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Learn the marks at Fortaleza Antiques. Maker's marks, hallmarks, factory stamps — they're the ID cards of antiques. A loupe and a marks guide change everything.
• Buy the best you can afford. One excellent piece beats five mediocre ones. Quality holds value; quantity just holds dust.
• Bring measurements. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around San Juan — 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 San Juan can take a while to appear. The 6 above are only as current as the community map. A antique store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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 6 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.
