How about a personal shopper – for antiques?


I'LL TAKE THESE, PLEASE.

Recently Topsy Turvy wrote about Bond & Bowery, an online global marketplace for antiques, furnishings and art. (Read it here.) I just got word from owner Ben Spaisman about DealerDirect, a new feature they've just added to their web site. DealerDirect works like this: On those occasions when you can't find just what you're looking for, you can submit a specific request (complete with photos, if you have them). Your item description will then be made available to B&B's entire dealer network, and if a dealer finds a match, you will be notified by email.

Sounds to me like having a whole team of personal shoppers at your disposal. How great is that?!

Check out all the details here.

18th c Gustavian mirror; Neoclassical mirrored obelisks on silver gilt paw-foot bases; Italian Pistillo wall sconce/ceiling lamp, 1969; French Empire daybed, 1830. All from Bond & Bowery.

If I had a money tree, that service would be dangerous!

Topsy Turvy said...

Courtney - That money tree sounds like an even better idea than a personal shopper!

Weird Coincidence!! I'm a dealer on Bond & Bowery, and the 18th Century Gustavian Mirror belongs to me. The photo on the side of the page is Pryor House in Victoria, which is my girlfriend's aunt's Bed and Breakfast. She just bought a pair of Karl Springer Lamps from me. It's a small world! Thanks for your great blog!

Lewis - We stayed at Pryor House last year on our visit to Victoria and found it wonderful! And I am crazy for that mirror of yours! Thanks for stopping by.
