As with all my art objects and furniture, I take great care to offer them at a very low expert estimate.

My objects are photographed au naturel, without going through a photo studio. As a result, you can appreciate them as close as possible to their reality.

As I don't put all my Furniture and Works of Art on Antikeo, I invite you to follow my Instagram account where you can enjoy all the latest news: @monantiquaire
