Ourivesaria Reis & Filhos

The jewellery Reis & Filhos was founded in 1880 by António Alves dos Reis. Still working as a shop, it is settled on the corner of Rua de Santa Catarina with Rua 31 de Janeiro and its main façade displays two deventures (shop front) made of cast iron and enrolled in the Nouveau Art movement, as confirmed by the elements that decorate the façade, namely the bust of a woman, upper end of the iron frame. These deventures were placed on the building in 1905 and were produced in Porto in the foundry Companhia Aliança.
