Store Hours:

We are the first and only Gallery in the Philippines, specialising in Antique Prints and Books before 1900, with particular emphasis on the History of the Philippines, i.e. Filipiniana.

Since our establishment in 1995, or 30 years ago, we have grown and become internationally renowned as specialists of historical original printed material about the Philippines, dating back to the 16th Century.

We offer the connoisseur and collector of art and history of the Philippines and Southeast Asia an unsurpassed inventory of antique prints and maps covering six centuries, a volume and scope that compares favourably with any Gallery in Asia or on any other Continent for that matter.

In 1998, we published the first comprehensive compendium of antique prints on the Philippines with the book “The Philippines in the 19th Century”, and throughout the years, we added posters, postcards, reproductions, and other individual items intended to showcase the Philippines of the past to a broader audience. These local publications complement our huge range of antique maps, views, and prints on zoology, ornithology, ethnology, anthropology, geography, and other natural sciences.

In 2018, we hosted the IMCoS Symposium accompanied by an Exhibition of those antique maps and prints used by all lecturers in their presentations, and published the book “Insulae Indiae Orientalis” documenting the lectures and exhibition in the Ayala Museum, which – for the first time in more than 100 years – showed 3 original large Murillo de Velarde 1734 maps with the vignettes together with all later editions, among many other rarities.

In 2021, we added modern hand-crafted Globes by COLUMBUS to our product line-up due to the demand for globes which are generally not available.

As with many other international galleries, we also offer ancillary services such as acid free, museum-style conservation matting and framing, Picture Frame Hanging Systems and non-reflective glass and acrylic glazing, procured through our sister company Rudolf Lietz, Inc., a direct importer, affording us to sell to other galleries, contractors, interior decorators or DIY individuals as well.

We encourage visitors of all ages, especially young people interested in historical context of international artists and their views of the Philippines, to internalise how it feels to be inside A MUSEUM WHERE YOU CAN BUY what hangs on the walls and lies in vitrines and on racks…..
