Our expertise

Hunting, Negociating, Stripping and waxing

At ABG, our expertise lies in the full art and craft of the antique trade – from the thrill of the hunt to the final waxed finish. We travel across France with a trained eye and a deep respect for provenance, carefully selecting each piece for its character, authenticity, and potential.

Once sourced, every item goes through a meticulous process. We know how to negotiate the right deal, ensuring value not just for us—but for you. In our workshop, we strip back years of wear with precision and care, revealing the soul of the wood beneath. Each surface is then waxed by hand, not for shine alone, but to restore warmth, texture, and depth. We never over-restore – preserving the integrity and charm that make antique furniture so desirable.
