My name is Claudio
I am a personal buying consultant and I organise European buying trips for antique dealers, designers and decorators, individual or groups.
Any project to come to Europe ?

I have many sources in Italy, France, Spain, Belgium and Holland.
I can rent a car, book hotels, make appointments with dealers, translate ( English, French, Italian, Spanish and Flemish ), negotiate, drive, keep contact with shipper….or organise a shipment.

In October I will be very busy, but I will be available in the remaining months.

There will be some interesting fairs in the North of France ( Le Mans on November 20th, December 19th and Chartres on November 19th and December 18th ).
We could go to the Flea market in Paris or to the Brocante vide-greniers fair in Champigny sur Marne.
We could combine the fairs in the North with shopping in the Belgian and French Flanders.
Some interesting fairs will be held in Belgium ( Antica Namur Antiques Fair in Namur from November 9th to November 17th ).

In the South of France there will be fairs in L’Isle sur la Sorgue on November 29th, Béziers on December 2nd, Montpellier on December 3rd and Avignon on December 4th ).
We can scour the antique shops in Pézenas, the Village des Antiquaires in Marseille or the flea market in Nice.
We could combine a trip between France, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Spain.

There will be some interesting fairs in Italy ( Rassegna Antiquaria in Brescia from November 1st to November 10th ; Roma Antiquariato in Rome from November 23rd to December 1st ) and in Spain ( Feriarte Feria de arte y Antiguedades in Madrid from November 16th to November 24th ).

I can drive you to the most important Auction Houses in Italy ( Cambi, Wannenes and Boetto in Genova; Pandolfini in Firenze; Il Ponte in Milano ), in France ( Drouot and Tajan in Paris, Hotel des Ventes in Monaco ) and in Austria ( Dorotheum in Vienna ).

We can scour the big Fair in Arezzo, Tuscany ( over than 1,000 exhibitors ), the antique street in Lucca, the Balon market in Torino or the Città Antiquaria in Fossano.
We can discover the Déballages in Fossano ( on November 5th ) , in Carrara ( Versilia Antiquites on November 22nd ) or in Bologna ( on December 10th ).

If you tell me when you could come to Europe we could make a detailed schedule.

I would be happy to be your guide for your next buying trip to Europe.
