This very old family-run store is on busy Escola Politecnica and stepping inside feels a bit like going back in time. They sell old Portuguese silver and some very nice new pieces and other antiques including Portuguese tiles. But they also repair and restore silver pieces and silver plate. I have had several silver plate pieces (like picture frames and trays and also earrings) that were becoming a dirty grey and couldn't be cleaned with polish because the silver plate was wearing off. Gil&Carvalho replated them and made them look like new. They also sell a liquid called Partex for cleaning silver plate so it doesn't get worn off. read more
