BUYING ANTIQUES - How we work

When you come over to France to buy antiques, we will provide you a “buying kit” which includes:

• a carbon copy notebook to write down your purchases,
• stickers and tags to identify your items, which you may use everywhere in France, but also in England, Belgium and Italy.
  (Should you like to receive a buying kit ahead in order to get organized, just send us the address where we should send it).

As you buy, it is preferable that you give us the slips matching your purchases in order for us to collect them as quickly as possible. You can drop them off at our market office in St Ouen or at our main office in Montreuil (Paris, Porte de Montreuil) or even mail them to us as soon as you can.

As soon as we have this information, we start collecting your purchases, provided the dealer has been paid for the merchandise. Alternatively, we can pay the dealers ourselves as we pick up the merchandise, in which case you need to have wired us funds prior to your trip in France. Once you’re done buying, we send you a complete list of your purchases and the position of your client account.

Your goods are then put into storage in our warehouse in Montreuil pending any specific instructions you may have. Once you have confirmed that your purchases are complete, we will begin preparations for shipping.
