To this day, Ralf Durbass has remained loyal to the premises and the address at Amalienstraße 37 in Karlsruhe. "The secret of our success and why we have been around for over 30 years is that we have always kept up with the trends. Be it the industrial style that was popular 10 years ago or back to the 70s in the early 2000s," explains the owner. Dusty antiques are long gone from the store in Amalienstrasse; instead, Antikart showcases hip living trends, mainly from estates. "We are called in to distribute estates, act as
advisors for relatives and sell on behalf of customers," explains Durbass.
This includes real treasures and unique pieces from the following areas

  • Art
  • Furniture
  • Lamps
  • Porcelain
  • Drawings
  • and fashion

can be found in the store. "Many customers have appreciated our selection for many years and come to visit us," explains Ralf Durbass. "Dealers are also among them. They then sell the pieces on in other cities on our behalf," he adds.
