CHILLIN Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 The lady who was in the country house has passed away. She had already sold the house. Her husband has returned to sell off the furnishings, probably through Julie and Wayne Hensley. If you want to sell fine antiques, you pretty well have to go through Guadalajara. I am interested in, and skilled in, decorative and applied arts. Happy (pedro) is into folk art, much of which I find quite laughable and a bit of a rather clever con. To be fair though, this is much the same in fine art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a basic bed I recommend in San Antonio on the carretera on the corner west of Super Lake is a mattress store with a good selection and good prices. For other furniture we bought in Jocotepec. Two blocks west of Chapala Bus Stop is a warehouse furniture store with good prices and they will deliver. Better furniture can be bought in Guadalajara and most stores will deliver. Liverpool has an excellent selection and they will deliver. Can you please be more specific "two blocks west of Chapala bus station ", the street name would help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 You can find just about anything you want stylewise, it is a question of knowing where to look. SO take it slowly until you know what you want and once you decide on the style ask for the places where to look.. Yes the bazaars are places to look at but they are no bargain here compare to Europe or the States. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the bazaars are places to look at but they are no bargain here compare to Europe or the States. Or Canada. Neither are the alleged antique shops here but like anything,you can find exceptions for the odd treasure. As an example,I got this Maine, Federal period ,circa 1820, tilt top lamp table from an antique consignment shop in west Ajijic which is no longer there unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From plaza you can walk one block south on Hidalgo Eje Sur turn left at Jose Santana Ote and you are there. I bought a sleeper couch and table and chairs at prices cheaper than Ajijic or Chapala. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those streets exist in or near the bus station in Chapala. What Chapala bus station are you referring? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
