Travelling in Argentina, Chile & Uruguay

Argentina.

It’s well known that Argentina’s arts and antiques of great quality have positioned our country as the moment’s hot place for dealers and collectors. This country features a unique culture with the best influxes of Latin America and Europe.

Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city has always been a place where all the trends converge from Europe, the States and world wide locations. This country of immigrants was built upon influences, cultural and material brought by those newcomers from their motherlands back in the early days of our republic in the early 19th century.

The cultural treasures brought by the flow of Europeans from the East and the West, were early milestones for the art, antiques and collectibles markets to be.

But it was thanks to a local trend of wealth, distinction, and sophistication that outstanding old continent products and works of art, reached our southern shores. The all mighty argentine pampas field positioning our country as the World’s barn, its landlords and societal individuals linked it, would live in Argentina as if it was France, England, Germany or the Italian countryside. They bought everything back in the centres of culture, from art, and furniture to bathroom ware of all kind. In that way, the generations to come, had an early, strong and wonderful material and cultural heritage to develop upon.
