If you wish, you can have a look at our private life in the blog (at the bottom of the site), but you can also interpret the following figures yourself:
In 2012 we created our first website.
In 2013 we created Antik-France.
Over the years, more than 5,000 Antique items have been put up for sale, most of which can be seen on our website.
Today we offer an annual supply of 200 to 300 new items.
We have a warehouse and workshop of more than 400 m² with all the handling equipment and restoration machines.
We ship by truck at least 150 m3 of furniture and various objects, carefully packed by us, and more than 200 parcels directly to individuals each year.
Everything is in our hands
From the design of our site to its contents, from the search for objects to their restoration, from the shooting of photos to their posting with information, then from their packaging to their shipment.
When necessary, we involve our best partners if they have more suitable equipment or use regulated activities, such as gilding.
We do our utmost to restore objects to their original state. To restore them to their former beauty and charm for our own enjoyment and, we hope, for the enjoyment of all who will own them.
