The Most Popular Antique Market in Indonesia. Heaven for Classical Collectors
For some people, antiques and ancient objects have high artistic value. There are those who like to collect antiques as displays, while others make them assets because certain types of goods have a high selling value. In Indonesia, many antique and ancient items are sold freely in the market. Even some cities have antique markets that are quite iconic.
Not only collectors, even those of you who just like classics might think of the antiques market as a treasure hunt. There are a lot of goods that are no longer produced by the factory and even rarely owned by people. For those of you who like to hunt for antiques and ancients, here I have a recommendation for the iconic antique market in several cities in Indonesia.
