Oh, Paris! There’s truly no place like it in the world. The city is steeped in history and brimming with vibrant Art & Antiques trade traditions that have been thriving for centuries. And guess what? I’d love nothing more than to be your friendly guide as we navigate through this magical world together.
One of the places we’ll explore is Drouot, a renowned auction house that has been bustling since the 19th century. Imagine thousands of art pieces, paintings, vintage treasures, and exquisite interior decor items going under the hammer every single day. It’s a sight to behold, and I can’t wait to show you around.
At Drouot, you’ll have the chance to witness a few auctions, unravel the fascinating codes and rules of the trade, and uncover some insider secrets. Together, we’ll scrutinize items of your interest from top to bottom and I’ll share some handy tips to help you spot a fake – whether you’re eyeing an ancient bottle of wine, a stunning vintage dress, a captivating painting, or a breathtaking sculpture.
With me by your side, you’ll dive headfirst into the enchanting world of the art market. And who knows? By the end of our adventure, you might just walk away with a chic vintage bag or a pair of exquisite designer wall lights as a special memento of your unforgettable Parisian journey.
