INTRODUCTION

Vintage by López-Linares was born out of the concern and hope of three generations of women to create access to all of history’s genuine jewels, after more than 20 years dedicated to the world of antiques. Following this, along with our experience as antiquarians, we started to work meticulously in search of the best expert silversmiths in the art of silver jewellery production.

Vintage evokes the best of past times and we have brought it all to Madrid, in our shop you will be transported to Ancient Egypt, Classic Greece, the emblematic Medieval Castles, the purest Baroque France or the lavish casinos of the ‘Belle Époque,’ simply by passing from one display stand to the next.

We specialize in engagements and great oc-casions; however we do not leave out that special piece that will make something different and origi-nal out of your day-to-day look.

We would love to meet you, collaborate with you or simply exchange thoughts and experiences with you if you are another passionate antique lover. Don’t miss out on a visit to our shop if you are in the area of ‘el barrio de Salamanca’ in Madrid, you will be thrilled by our window display, however, you will be even more surprised at the friends that you make inside.

We await your visit!
