John Pearce, who used to be an accountant, started his career in antiques by chance. It was also by chance that he set up his stall at the Dauphine Market in 1991. He has been there since the market opened.
His stall is full of nautical items such as chests of drawers, model boats, and toy planes. Mr Pearce’s booth takes you on a voyage.
“I try to communicate to Parisians that they have a unique place in the world right next to them, a great market for all tastes and all generations.”
