Collection Management

We have a large number of loyal clients—some are knowledgeable antique collectors and others are new collectors, perhaps looking to invest in their very first piece. Because antiques vary greatly in age, details and value, our services in identification and evaluation, appraisal, as well as consultation are often required. From assistance in taking the correct first steps in purchasing a single piece, or disbursing a vast collection, we have developed many contacts throughout North America that enable us to obtain the necessary information for advice and assistance. In addition we have travelled extensively in search for specific pieces for clients or for unique items to add to our own shop collection. We are also interested in looking at and evaluating pieces for resale or guiding people on how best to market pieces from their own collections.
