Investment Grade Antiques and a Worldwide Reputation are found in the Village of Solvang
Solvang, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2009 -- It's no secret that the charming old world European village of Solvang is one of the most picturesque and beloved tourist destinations in California. While the lure of Danish pastries wafting through the pristine air might attract visitors the first time, the area's natural beauty, live theater, shops and galleries, fine restaurants and wine tasting rooms keep them coming back time and time again.
It's no surprise that most visitors don't go home empty handed from their stay in Solvang. Pastries, wine, chocolates, æbleskiver pans and Danish clogs are all popular souvenirs. But grand pianos, 12' grandfather clocks, nickelodeons, dining and living room suites? Who, you might ask, comes home from a vacation with one of these as a reminder of their visit? The surprising answer is -- a lot more people than you'd think!
For 33 years one remarkable Solvang business, the Solvang Antique Center, has developed a widespread reputation for quality and service by selling investment-grade antiques to visitors in dozens of countries around the world and every state in the union. Among the unlikely items they've shipped across the globe are grand pianos to Japan, Australia and Israel; architectural products to Honduras; an entire 5-story houseful of furniture and antiques to Tokyo; an automatic violin/piano to Hawaii; an office full of furnishings to St. Petersburg, Russia.
Most of the Solvang Antique Center's long-distance and international clients become loyal, repeat customers because there are few other sources in the world that offer so many unique, high-quality and difficult-to-find antiques in such expertly restored condition.
In the last month the Solvang Antique Center has delivered to the following countries:
A musical antique pocket watch to Japan for $9,500
An antique disc music box to Japan for $8,500
A French bracket clock to Switzerland for $3,400

Unfortunately, these first generation solar collectors were expensive, inefficient, and delivered long payback periods and lower returns on the initial investment than expected.
