Imagine spotting the mirror of your dreams: a beautifully preserved gilt Louis Philippe. Then, seeing it priced at €20.
Bienvenue, Hôtel Drouot.
It suddenly clicks, this is where the vendors at the flea markets are finding their goods. And after reading this post, now you can too!
I had heard about Hôtel Drouot by a few design friends, but it felt a bit like an enigma: something that I knew existed but didn’t much have the desire to go - why would I, when I had the fleas every weekend!?
Oh how wrong I was!
