Tony's Journeys / Europe
"I'm not looking for furniture here. I'm looking for things nobody else has."
Tony's newest sourcing country. First trip October 2024. The hunt for the uber unique.
Why Hungary
I’ve always been looking for a source in Europe to find things I can’t get in Asia — not furniture, but really offshoot one-of-a-kind unique things. Pieces that make people ask “What is this? What’s the story behind this?” Hungary is a beautiful farm-type country, very green, very lush. And they have incredible antiques from generations of farm life. I met some folks there — a Hungarian woman and an American man who do sourcing. They took me all around Budapest and towards Romania. We became good friends quickly.
What We Source in Hungary
This is NOT furniture. This is the uber unique:
100+ Year Old Wooden Wheelbarrows
Original farm implements with a century of patina
Hay Carts
Full-size buckboard wagons. We already sold one — giant thing, gone immediately.
Farming Implements
Old corn huskers, tools, equipment with history.
Medicine & Seltzer Bottles
Antique glass with European character.
Antique Kids' Sleighs
Winter treasures from another era.
Antique Wood Skis
Decorative pieces with incredible character.
Tony's Perspective
"I don't need tables. I don't need cabinets. I don't need any of that from Hungary. Benches maybe. But for the most part, I'm looking for the uber unique. Things nobody has. A crazy mix of things you wouldn't even think you'd find. Everything's got a story — that's what I'm after."
