Many people visiting France on holiday are happy to return home with a special memento, a little piece of antique or vintage frenchness, that seems to them to capture all they love about this country.
Most visitors to Paris get to visit the flea markets, but not so many venture a short way out of the city to try their luck in the countryside.
Here in Normandy, we have a large and varied selection of dealers and fairs, at prices that lag way behind those charged in Paris. We can help guests with shipping or postage of purchases, be it a box of books or a container of furniture.
I am happy to host antique buyers here in Normandy. This could be day visitors, visiting Paris and looking for something different, or professional buyers who arrive with a shopping list, and aim to fill a container. Sometimes I host small groups for antique hunting weekends.

Your interest may be in fine French linen and silverware, or you may yearn for vintage industrial chic. If you would like more information about how I can help you source your special piece of France, just drop me a mail, and I shall tell you how it works.

ReplyDeleteLove the french clock with both the numbers and the numerals on. If I had something like that I might be able to get my children to figure out roman numerals! The hands look brilliant too, quite jealous of your acquisition there =)
