The love for old things has kept me working as an antique dealer for over twenty-five years. Originally born in Denmark, I have been living in Berlin for a long time. Curiosity and the desire to expand my specialist knowledge lead to a lively exchange with collectors. Not least through these contacts I constantly buy estates and collections and get beautiful old things again and again. Always on the search for small and large treasures, the quality and the high craftsmanship of the individual pieces mean a lot to me. For over 18 years I have been concentrating on trading on ebay. A fast, customer-friendly and uncomplicated process is particularly important to me.
I wish you a lot of fun while browsing, should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me
