Shop With Us Live in France — First Access to Dealer-Only Markets

Secure your place in our most premium sourcing experience. The Early Morning Session ($1100) gives you unparalleled first access to France’s professional déballage markets—the exclusive, dealer-only events where the very best antiques are sold before sunrise.

These markets are closed to the public and reserved only for accredited antique dealers.

You cannot enter on your own.

This session gives you privileged access to inventory that is never listed online, never offered to tourists, and rarely available outside the trade.

Over a private two-hour WhatsApp video call, you’ll shop in real time as we guide you through pricing, authenticity, age, condition, and negotiation in French.

You see everything first.

You choose first.

The Late Morning Session ($1000) offers a slightly later start time while still granting you direct access to France’s professional, dealer-only déballage markets.

These events are strictly closed to the public and accessible only to accredited antique dealers.

This experience allows you to source exceptional pieces normally reserved for the trade—inventory that never reaches online shops or tourist markets.

During your private two-hour WhatsApp sourcing session, we guide you through selecting, evaluating, negotiating, and securing pieces that match your style.

Note: Due to the time difference, this session will occur at the following hours:

Early morning sessions: 2:30am-4:30am EST, 11:30pm-1:30am PST

Late morning sessions: 5:00am-7:00am EST, 2:00am-4am PST

Only 2 spots per session.
