Art Treasures in Spain.

Spain is considered by art collectors a lucrative field and many Interesting antiques are picked up here from time to time. Seville has numerous shops where antiquities are sold and where the old Spanish needlework may be purchased. This section of the country has so recently (comparatively speaking) been invaded by tourists that art buyers claim to find here many desirable things of which the more frequented countries have long since been almost sold out. Probably the old Spanish needlework and the wood carvings are the most characteristic finds, though the antique Spanish and the lustrous Moorish tiles are also much sought. Of course paintings are eagerly scanned and occasionally a Murillo school picture comes to sale.
