A Filipino crafts showroom-gallery in Intramuros, Manila, established in 1966, dealing in handcrafted textiles, ceramics, antiques, folk art, and historical artifacts as part of a family-run export and retail business.
Best for Philippine craft and ethnographic objects in a long-running Intramuros gallery-shop
Silahis Arts and Artifacts has operated in Intramuros, the walled historic core of Manila, since 1966, making it one of the longer-running crafts businesses in the district. The company describes its own work as designing, producing, wholesaling, retailing and exporting handcrafted Philippine goods, a broader remit than a typical single-format shop. Its showroom at 744 General Luna Street functions partly as a gallery and partly as a museum-style display space, mixing historical Filipino artifacts and antiques with contemporary crafts: folk art, Asian ceramics, textiles, books, prints and sculpture are shown alongside newer handmade pieces. The stated purpose behind the business, per its own materials, is to build understanding of Philippine heritage through its crafts and material culture, positioning the shop as much as a cultural resource for visitors to Intramuros as a retail outlet. Independent travel and directory sources consistently describe it as a long-established fixture of the neighborhood rather than a recent addition.
