We do the legwork for you. We match your prized collectables with eager buyers, and alleviate haggling, misinformed quoting or bidding that can happen in blind online forums. We guarantee you a selling price at the time of intake, and work with you during a selling process to ensure your satisfaction.

Showcasing your consignment items
We display your items in our Metro-West showroom for exposure to walk-in traffic as well as in our online store for global exposure (yes, we do sell around the world.)

We also hold unique showings and appraisal events throughout the year, which offer even greater visibility to targeted buying audiences.

Consignment is the backbone of our business. We make the process simple and clear. Simply Contact Us with some basic information about what you have to sell. We’ll arrange an appraisal/intake interview with you in our showroom, but are also happy to come to you if easier.
We review, advise, and inventory your items. Anything needing to be researched will be marked as such, and we work with you to establish an acceptable sale price for each of your items. Upon acceptance, you consignment inventory joins our fine collection of antique treasure for sale in our showroom, website, and various online stores.
What can be consigned?
Individuals come in with such a variety of items, from a rare Peter Carl Faberge jeweled compact, a 3,000+ year old scarab bracelet, 15th century Buddha, 18th century jade tea bowl, a large Tiffany bronze door centerpiece, or a pair of rare silk terrestrial & astrological balls on stand from a school in Pennsylvania. The quality of some of these items is breathtaking, and while we don’t get items like those mentioned above every day, we do get beautiful and interesting pieces in weekly. We encourage items of high quality and uniqueness. We specialize in antique jewelry, and also accept fine silver, furnishing, art, and rare furniture items.
Referrals
As we strive to consign and present fine quality antiques, we sometimes are presented with items that are not quite the right match for our inventory or philosophy. When we decide an item is not for us we try to direct you to the appropriate vendor, so that you might still find success in selling it.
