The Paris Flea Market : Les Puces De Paris, Saint-Ouen

For over 150 years, the Paris flea market has been a Mecca for designers and collectors from all over the world. A veritable village within a village, its lively alleyways and hidden corners are home to over two thousand stalls that together offer a masterclass in the history of art, craft and design.

This book profiles around twenty of the market's leading dealers, revealing their world and the hidden workings of their trade. With expertise and specialisms ranging from mid-century modern to Art Deco, Memphis Milano and Louis XVI, these antique and second-hand dealers are responsible for the market's rich and eclectic profusion, not only preserving the history of the decorative arts, but also shaping future design trends.
