WHOLESALE ANTIQUES BUYING SERVICES: We sell container loads of French, Belgian and Dutch antique furniture and smalls shipped directly to you from Europe.  We offer several buying services-You can choose the one that best fits your business needs!  We handle all the details such as currency exchange, insurance for shipments, liaison with sellers, shippers, import brokers, US Customs, etc. 

 

ANTIQUE CLOCK SPECIALTIES: We also offer special services for clock buyers.  Dealers, you can select the clocks you want directly from our European suppliers and pay true wholesale prices.  We then import the clocks you’ve selected in container loads we ship to Oregon, assuring very low shipping costs.  This way, you get only the clocks you’ve personally selected and you pay European wholesale prices for them and low costs to get them here!

 

LOWEST COSTS: We shop at the small European dealers who buy estates directly and offer goods at the lowest prices-their prices are much lower than the larger warehouses.  We don’t have our own warehouses or inventory in the US or overseas, so our overhead is very low. We know antiques and our experience lets us bypass the overpriced things and find the bargains for you!

 

HERE’S WHAT WE OFFER

 

v     CONTAINER PURCHASES: 20’, 40’ and 45’ container loads of antiques that we purchase to your specifications.  This is a great choice if you need a wide variety of goods in a short time with minimal effort on your part.  We access a wide variety of furniture, paintings, clocks, porcelain and other smalls available from multiple dealers, all at the best prices.  If you’re an auctioneer or own a large antiques business, this may be the best choice for you. 

 

v     BUY FROM PHOTOS: 20’, 40’ and 45’ container loads of antiques selected by you from photographs.  We work with several dealers who constantly send us photos with prices of newly added antiques.  If you buy a container this way, we send you the information and you select what you want.  Our sources for this service are limited to clients who are digital photo and Internet savvy, and of course, as a buyer you’ll also need to respond quickly to emails on a daily basis.  This is a great service if you want more control over what you receive and have time to select your container over 6 weeks or longer. 

 

v     BUY CLOCKS FROM PHOTOS: Wholesale clocks purchased from photos-a special service for dealers and others in the trade.  Contact us for details    

 

v     YOUR OWN EUROPEAN BUYING TRIP: You travel to Europe yourself on a guided buying trip where you select a container that meets your needs.  With this option, you’ll be taken to multiple small and medium dealers over a period of approximately a week where you’ll select everything you want.  The service includes collection and packing of your goods.  Be sure to consider all the costs-air travel, food, lodging and the time lost from your business-when you’re considering this option.  A typical trip takes a week to 10 days.  It’s a great choice if you need complete control over the selection process and you want to examine each purchase in person before you buy.    

 

COSTS: Of course, the cost of goods will vary widely depending on your needs.  20’ container loads of furniture start at less than $10,000 for the goods.  Shipping costs (including customs duties, insurance and entry services) to the US range from around $3,000 for a 20’ container to the East Coast to $7,500 for a 45’ container to the West.  You pay actual shipping costs.  We also charge a commission of $1,750 to $3,500 (varies with container size).

Feel free to email, write or phone-we love to talk, and we promise to not pressure you in any way to buy!
