Le Louvre des Antiquaires - an Aladdin's cave of antique treasures

Want to furnish a museum and have a bottomless purse? Then this is the place at which to buy your exhibits.
A stone's throw from the Louvre itself is a building that houses what is arguably the finest collection of antiques to be found outside the museums of France. But many of the items offered by the 250 antique dealers at Le Louvre des Antiquaires do finish up in the world's top museums and private collections. Want to buy an original Brueghel? Or an ancient Japanese samurai's suit of armour? Or magnificent antique furniture or silver? If you have the money, the Louvre des Antiquaires has the stuff museums are made of.

Pierre Brueghel the younger (1564-1638), "The seven Acts of Charity".
