Buying brocante
You will experience the thrill of finding unique, traditional, and handcrafted pieces. Buying those special treasures gives us the feeling of owning a piece of history. It's so exciting!
Finding what you are looking for can be a daunting task too. Searching for the best items for you (or your customers) is not so easy. Here you might need our help.
Buying brocante and antiques
Navigating the world of antiques and brocante in Europe can be a bit overwhelming when new to the scene. Because where to buy? Who are the best sellers for your specific items? How do you find them? What's the best price? Are the items worth it, of is there something better to buy? How do you communicate with the shop owners and traders?
How does buying at flea markets or brocante fairs work? How do you find your way around France, Belgium or The Netherlands? Where do you stay? Where do you eat? And finally ... how do you get your purchases home safely?
There is where we come in...
