New Website Whisks You To Paris Flea Markets

NEW YORK - Looking for a one-of-a-kind coffee table for your home or a museum-worthy desk for your office?

A new site, www.Frenchdibs.com, has been created to bring art, antiques and classics culled from European flea markets, galleries and personal collections directly to the consumer.

The "white glove" service they provide from start to finish makes you feel as if you have a personal guide to the European markets. Many of the collectibles shown on the site are exclusive to www.frenchdibs.com as a result of the company's longstanding relationship with vendors.

The new website is the brainchild of architect Ana Eskreis whose 25 years in interior design and construction help her when it comes to identifying pieces. She has done extensive design work in both New York's North and South shores and the Hamptons as well as in South Beach, Florida. Eskreis now resides in New York but frequents Paris to make final selections for Frenchdibs.com.

Paris-based Elisabeth Righel has been a decorator in the capital city for 35 years and is instrumental in uncovering vendors, galleries and collectors whose art and furniture are now a part of Frenchdibs.com.

International businessman Phillip Rubin has over four decades' experience in the recycling industry and oversees the white glove shipping of Frenchdibs.com items worldwide.

"Even if you are a frequent flyer and visit flea markets around the world, there are two challenges facing even the most seasoned traveler: is this a real find or a fake and how will I get it home?" comments Ana Eskreis. "Part of the reason we started Frenchdibs.com was to take the hassle and worry out of shopping overseas. The cost of all our finds includes international shipping to a variety of major U.S. cities. Only local shipping is added, and our specialized service also includes furniture set up and removal of packing."

In addition to market finds for purchase, www.Frenchdibs.com also features an insider's view of Paris which takes the visitor to a variety of restaurants, museums, artists' homes and more as part of the Frenchdibs.com experience.

The first newsletter (found in the "blog" section of the site) includes the Obama's visit to Paris restaurant La Fontaine de Mars, along with the recipe for the lamb dish the First Lady enjoyed - another Frenchdibs.com exclusive!
