An essential component of my profession is being able to acquire works right from the source – in Europe! For most of my career we had clients say that they wished they could join us on one of our buying trips, and occasionally we let a few join in the fun.

I offer multi-day guided buying tours to France and Italy.  My tour routes are centered around cities where I have been buying for decades and are often in conjunction with major international trade fairs to give buyers the best opportunity to see a broad range of items. Locations and schedules will be customized to meet your needs. I will translate and negotiate on your behalf while helping you find the best items in each category of your search. I will also make sure to fit in visits to off-the-beaten track locales, special exhibitions, and spectacular views for inspiration!

I also offer domestic buying tours to Atlanta, Palm Beach, High Point (NC), New York, and Roundtop (TX), where large groupings of dealers and fairs make for great sourcing opportunities on this side of the Atlantic. These trips are perfect for clients looking to purchase a few items to complete a project in a timely and cost-effective manner.
