Antique furniture

In Bandung Jl. r.e Martadinata (Riau) old and new store

In Jakarta itself you should check out Jalan Surabaya (Surabaya Road) as there is a pretty good antiques flea market there.  Personally it's been several years since I've been there, so I can't say with certainty that it's worth the effort, but some years ago I used to do OK buying there.  I don't think many of the stalls carry much antique furniture, but ask the dealers, as the best buys are those you might arrange privately. 

The city of Surabaya itself, way out in east Java is much better known for antique furniture, most especially old Dutch colonial furniture.   

Have fun!

Hi Sheila,
Thank you very much for the info.  Will try and go to Surabaya and check it out.  Is it safe to go there alone in a cab??

Hi afkhar - can you please keep it in english on the Anglophone Forum

Jl. Surabaya mm, been there many times no antiques, only fakes, but good ones... they all crooks, so you better know your stuff.

Go to kemang Timur.  There are many shops there but they close early at the moment

We bought a wonderful pair of late 19th century Japanese Satsuma vases there, totally authentic
for $150.00, put them up on eBay and they fetched $1200.00.

Agree, there are lots of fakes at the Jalan Surabaya market, but there are real objects too.  As you say, you need to know your stuff.

Sorry Guys,

I am not a retailer or prices just want to offer my beautiful collection to private people who appreciate quality at super low prices
Thank you

Hello everyone,

@aussiehj,

even though you are not a retailer, you may as well drop an advert in the Moving sales in Jakarta section of the website so that members looking for things to buy at cheap prices can easily access the offer.

Thank you in advance,
Bhavna
