Whether you do residential or commercial, whether your’re buying for your own inventory or shopping for clients, whether you’re looking for high-end or vernacular, a Heart of Europe buying tour will help you access a pool of striking antique furniture, art, decor, small antiques and more. 

And whether it's encaustic tiles, terra cotta or stone flooring, antique paneling, windows, mantels, fencing, door surrounds or garden statuary, we'll show you where to look if you're interested in architectural and garden antiques.  

You’ll be traveling in a region whose designers, artists and craftspeople captured the spirit of the times with daring innovations  -- the Secession Movement, the Wiener Werkstätte, Cubism in Bohemia, Deutsche Werkstätten in Hellerau, the Bauhaus.   And of course, you will see antiques and artifacts that are much older -- from the Gothic period forward including Baroque, Biedermeier, Louis Philippe, Classicism, Historicism, Continental Country, honest-to-goodness Art Deco, Mid-Century and more.  
 
A Heart of Europe buying trip is a smart investment.  It is perceived as a high-value activity and will lend cachet to your business.  Make it a springboard to interest new clients and re-engage old ones.  Let your customers know you will be on the road in Europe, uncovering new sources and buying new inventory.  Send them a few photos from the trip.  Invest in pieces you know they’ll love.   

You’ll find your expedition with us rewarding and stimulating.  And because the trip is a professional activity, you can charge it as a business expense
