GUIDED ANTIQUE SHOPPING EXCURSIONS TO SLOVAKIA, TRANSYLVANIA AND ROMANIA.
CURRENT AUCTION SCHEDULE


First European Shipping is pleased to introduce a new service for intrepid dealers and private collectors who love to travel - guided antique shopping excursions outside of Hungary's borders! For the last several years we have offered antique shopping tours covering galleries, auction houses and flea markets in Budapest and the Hungarian countryside. Now we have expanded the service to include the Transylvania region of Romania and parts of southern Slovakia.

Both of these areas are historically fascinating and, because they are considerably less accessible and less well-known than Budapest and surrounds, rich in a variety of periods of furniture including Baroque, Empire and Biedermeier. They're also a great source for carpets, peasant pine furniture and a wide variety of other items of ethnographic interest.
We provide you a complete package that includes translation, bargaining, all recordkeeping, hotel and restaurant arrangements, and transportation of your purchases back to our warehouse in Budapest.

In addition to our tours outside Hungary we are also glad to take our clients on buying tours around Hungary itself as well as to Budapest's many auctions.

The following is the auction and Pecs market schedule for 2006 to help you plan your summer and autumn buying trips or auction bidding. We gladly make any arrangements for your trip including excursions to countryside shops, markets and auctions. If you are not making a trip here, we can send you auction catalogues and do pre-auction viewings and proxy bidding. As always, we are happy to organize buying tours around Budapest as well as the Hungarian countryside and parts of Slovakia and Transylvania.

Budapest's Ecseri market is now open seven days a week, though the Saturday market is by far the best. The Pecs antiques market takes place every month, on the Thursday preceding the first Sunday of the month. It's important to get there early on Thursday. Pecs has several good antique shops as well and is 21/2 hours from Budapest.

Upcoming Pecs market dates for 2006 are the following:

June 29

August 3
August 31
September 28
November 2
November 30
