The oldest pawnshop in Latvia, Riga City Pawnshop, operating since 1802, has moved to new premises at Audēju Street 6. The new premises will offer a wider range of goods, including historical items, exclusive jewellery and precious metals, thus attracting those looking for valuable items with unique stories.

 

"Riga City Pawnshop has a history of more than 200 years, and we are pleased to be the custodians of the history and tradition of pawnshops in Latvia. For many years, Riga City Pawnshop has been located on Kalēju Street, but with the continued development of the Banknote branch network, the next step in the history of the pawnshop has been taken. We have opened new premises at Audēju Street 6 to offer our customers an even larger, specially selected range of goods. Retaining the charm of the oldest pawnshop in history, the new premises will offer a wide range of antiques and unique items unavailable elsewhere. Here, historical evidence is stored that is of particular interest to antique enthusiasts and foreign tourists," explains Didzis Ādmīdiņš, Chairman of the Management Board of DelfinGroup.

 

The oldest pawnshop in Riga offers paintings by well-known Latvian artists, various types of porcelain tableware and objects, antique literature, wristwatches, and unique jewellery with and without gemstones, the most popular category of goods.

 

D. Ādmīdiņš adds: "I believe that the new Riga City Pawnshop concept has high potential. With the move to more modern premises, we look forward to further promoting the rich historical heritage and special gems that can be found in this unique pawnshop."

 

In addition to the opportunity to buy goods and precious metals, Riga City Pawnshop will also offer a pawn loan, a consumer loan, gemologist services and purchases with split payments.

 

Riga City Pawnshop is part of Banknote, a network of circular economy shops owned by DelfinGroup, with over 90 branches across Latvia. There is also a circular economy online shop at veikals.banknote.lv with more than 50 000 goods in one place.
