from the countryside bring antique furniture to sell to wholesalers and restorers. This is an extremely rare opportunity to

see where antique furniture comes from and what it looks like in its original unrestored form. 100% wholesale only, this

market exists through word of mouth only and cannot be found in any guidebook or map. Roger will be accompanying

the group as a guide and to answer questions about styles, origins and history.
