 Dear visitor,
Welcome to my site! My name is Arlette Dambron and I am a wholesale exporter of French antiques
for the US and foreign market. My shop and warehouse are
in Strasbourg, France. It is the capital and principal city of
the Alsace region of northeastern France, located close on the
border with Germany.
Choosing to export to the United States was a natural
move for me. Thirty years ago, after graduating from Law
School, I spent a little more than a year as a French Language Assistant at Hood
College in Frederick, Maryland. Since then, I've felt a strong link
with the US, it's people and the American culture. 
With years, I have also
experienced shipping containers to South Afrika and South Korea.
I have enjoyed doing business with Great Britain and Australia
My long experience in the US market has given me the opportunity
to build strong confident business relationships with my major clients. Throughout
the years, I have provided accurate, detailed information about
the antiques I find. As soon as I see a a good piece, whether found by
a picker, inside a provincial antique shop or at a brocanteur's,
the piece is photographed, and complete information is sent by e-mail to my
foreign clients.
Buying through pictures requires a tremendous amount of confidence from the Buyers...
and a heavy responsibility for the Seller. I am aware of this.
To maintain my buyer's confidence in me, I provide honest
descriptions of each piece: age, style, kind of wood, measurements, and most of all, the exact condition of the piece. The detailed pictures emphasize
the piece's condition: grafts, worms holes, restoration done or needed.
Finding pieces for my clients is just one side of my job: a full service of storage, serious wrapping, careful loading and
managing French shipping regulations, is provided for each
client. If the client asks, I also bring the piece to the cabinetmaker for the minor repairs, have
keys made, etc... This way, when the container reaches you, every piece is
immediately ready to be displayed!
For over 15 years, I have been shipping 20', 40' and 45'
containers to New England, the South and the Midwest. My clients have honored me
with their confidence, by choosing me as their Buyer's Eyes in
France. Through daily emails I gain knowledge of their specific
market needs while building true friendships. I would honor such a business relationship with you!
Arlette
