Antiques ‘n’ Ethinix Clearance Sale

This treasure trove of old and new things has been around in Goa (Porvorim, to be exact) for over nine years, but I only got around to visiting them now. They advertised a clearance sale in the papers recently and this is what they had on display.

(I’m sorry for the bad photos –the light was not too good indoors and I was also balancing a half-asleep toddler who didn’t care much for antique reproductions* (but wanted to take a huge marble elephant home). There’s no accounting for taste, I tell you.)

Walls of mirrors in metal and wood

A staircase lined with boxes of all shapes and sizes.

painted wooden trays

clocks

a funky tricycle which could be a magazine rack

dozens of photo frames (priced between Rs.150-600)

and a whole menagerie of wonderfully whimsical animals

 

You can’t see it too clearly here, but this wooden owl has a baby owl in her tummy.

 

and my favorite – this half-metal, half-painted horse.

 

Visit them here.

* A lot of the stuff isn’t really antique, but made to look old by craftsmen in Goa and Rajasthan. They also specialise in custom-made furniture.
