About Antiquités Brocante Glainoise (ABG)
French Antique Furniture Exporters Since 1997
Founded in 1997, Antiquités Brocante Glainoise (ABG) was born from a deep-rooted passion for French antiques and a desire to offer a reliable, long-term service to the international trade. As a second-generation, english family-run business based in france, ABG brings together several decades of hands-on experience in sourcing, restoring, and exporting french antique furniture – particularly to the american market.
The company’s founder and CEO, Shaun Dale, began his career as an apprentice French polisher and antique restorer, developing a lifelong love for the craftsmanship and charm of French period pieces. That early passion became the foundation of ABG : a business built not just on expertise, but on trust, continuity, and a genuine love of the trade.
