Dear Sir ,

I actually get art and antiquies things , and being well introduced in FRANCE on the market of objects of art , I intend to export antiquies in U.S.A. .

I got your adress from the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris , and I am writing to ask you whether you should be interested by those things , and if you should like to buy them or would be willing to sell them in collaboration with me .

For example , there are the things that can be sold immediately:

Miniatures , ancient laces , Louis XIV and 18 th century , porcelains XVIII th cent. , Saxe , Sèvres and China porcelains . Faiences XVII th. and XVIIIth. century , Venice glasses from XVIth.cent. Ancient and old Paris silver curiosities .

Old and modern paintings . Fragonard , Tiépolo , Lépéeie , Of course they are all authentic collection things , for which you could have an expertise .

If art things export is of any interest to you , please let me know , and tell me what are the kind of things and what century would be more suitable for American buyers .

Please let me know in which conditions could be done the export transport and settlement .

If you like , I can send you photos of some of the things .
