What a fantastic read. You’ve captured the true spirit of the European antique fairs — that mix of excitement, discovery, and a little bit of madness at the gates! As someone who sources pieces across Italy and France for international designers and collectors, I loved your practical insights on logistics and negotiation. It’s wonderful to see this world described with such authenticity and enthusiasm.
