What travels well to the Gulf
Gilded mirrors, chandeliers, marble-topped consoles, bronzes, French tableware and silver, and 20th-century design pieces. We advise on materials that suit air-conditioned interiors.
Duties and paperwork
In the UAE, import duty is generally around 5 percent plus 5 percent VAT. We provide dealer invoices and descriptions; your broker confirms. See shipping antiques from Paris.
