Silahis Arts and Artifacts was established in 1966 and incorporated the following year. Since then, we have been engaged in designing, producing, wholesaling, retailing and exporting the finest of handmade Philippine products.
We are dedicated to the development of a deeper understanding of the many-faceted heritage of the Philippines and its peoples through a greater appreciation of their culture and crafts. Indigenous designs, native resources and the spirit that has used them in everyday life are the principles of our concern. Comprehensive uses and fine craftsmanship is the object of our inquiry. A better understanding of the Filipino people is our goal.
