What an incredible feast for the eyes! Mexico City is centuries old, and the center of imports throughout a history of Spanish, French, Italian, American and indigenous influences. What will that portend when we visit a highend antique center there?

Our friend Betty is with us to interpret (and get permission to film), and we happily discover that there's more than just Lladro in the two sister shops at the front of Plaza del Angel antique center! Incredible French art deco Degue lamps, Czech glass fruit chandeliers, Venetian and Bohemian glass fixtures dripping with crystals...and that's just the ceiling! Cases filled with gleaming Sabino glass, Gerdago art deco figures, cute Gulla spring headed critters and painted Italian portrait jewelry are just the beginning in this mecca for serious collectors from all over the world.

Austrian bronze, Victorian marble sculptures and a retablo featuring the Virgin of Guadalupe take us on a side trip to the fantastic assemblage of buildings at the Basilica named in her honor, and then back to the shops again to explain why the vases we all call "Bristol" glass are really a misnomer! A huge collection of European perfumes, highly carved Continental furniture and a sleek modernist Daum Nancy fish from France whet our appetite for even more beautiful vintage and antique items...but you'll have to wait until our next video about this astounding collection of fabulous antiques to see even more!
