This B to B service consists in the combination of three main advantages :
1- The LOCATION, with the biggest worldwide flea market : the Paris/Saint-Ouen flea market (
www.antikita.com) with 2500 dealers, 13 markets, 11 miles of alleys. This place is fully dedicated to export and meant for "professional to professional" transactions. Our antikita team is permanently working in this huge market to assist foreign buyers, but has also set a network of French antique dealers and decorators based in 3 very well known places :- Montmartre, which combines the advantages to be very close to Saint Ouen and to offer a lot of antique shops, artists show rooms and big fabrics shops appreciated by designers and decorators,
