ANTIQUITES PHILIPPOT - VICTOR ESTEVEZ

Open every day from 3pm to 7pm except Monday. Then attention there is flea market and there are Antiquities. There are those which one can trust and the others. It is Victor who accommodates you in his warehouse, finally for a warehouse… it is rather a true cave of Ali Baba, a place of 350 m2, which are beautiful with stoneworks and beams, a place which has a heart and which is used as ecrin with objects, furniture, books which have themselves a past that it is a question of making re-appear by observing them by perceiving the very small music that they well will finish by you making hear. Victor it worked as clerk of auctioneer, it made right, it rubbed in the world of the antique furniture during about ten years. It had 2 shops in Ténériffe. It sold furniture of the old English colonies of truths not these pale copies which one proposes today. Victor is regularly called “to empty” “houses at the time of a succession for example. It buys what one presents to him but attention, it has an artistic formation which enables him to honestly say to the salesman if the object including it wishes to be demolished has value or not. It passes to him between the hands of fort pretty things, for example this altar of church out of gilded wooden 17th which it found in Villeneuve. To make this trade one needs much sensitivity (even if one must hide it) and sometimes one regrets having had to separate from an object… Victor keeps card-indexed at the bottom of the heart the regret to have had to sell a small Gothic bronze statuette. Here, Must come to excavate, cloud: to discover the drink in Baccarat which will enable you to create a pretty decoration, the housewife in silverware – which and will be surprised for you will cost you less from €100.
