Le Cartel: the Parisian field guide to antiquities
A French-language magazine about Paris antiques fairs, flea markets, collectible object families, and the practical habits of patient bargain hunters.
Field notes
The publication divides its coverage into market reports, object specialties, buyer guides, and a dated notebook. Its practical framework includes three complete methods, while the specialty list spans thirteen families of objects. The visible archive includes advice on reading hallmarks, inspecting materials, authenticating objects, and handling restoration work, alongside reports such as the Brocante du Parc des Princes. An RSS link suggests the dated stream can be followed outside the site.
