We no longer do appraisals off site unless nearby but still offer free unwritten appraisals year round if you make an appointment and bring in a few items or a detailed description with  pictures. You can also email information and pictures through our website, perhaps at that point we can make an appointment to see the items in person. You may find that our shop inventory is helpful in determining the value of pieces you already own since our inventory is large and most important items have detailed descriptions. These also allow you to examine items carefully, help you to guarantee their authenticity and guide you with research on the net. We are always interested in buying outright antiques of quality.

We will hold all purchases for a couple of days but then require a 50% deposit and the balance paid within 30 days. Please allow time for your balance to clear before pick-up and please schedule in advance.

If you consign with others ask a few important questions. Is the item insured, how is the item priced and if placed on a website, what is the site name? Most consignments involve shop owners and their website. Your items might also be photographed and placed on larger websites or different places, perhaps with an auctioneer. You should have this information in order to follow an item's sale and final price.

We have been able to purchase special items from early private homes in the western half of NY, PA and eastern Ohio, recently Columbus Ohio. This area has a history of many people having major fine historic furnishings in their homes. Earlier many wagons leaving from Boston for a new life in the far west found they had taken too much with them and had to leave many wonderful historical furnishings in Western New York, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, many settled here. In the 19th century this area experienced the original beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in the United States.  Oil was first discovered in the United States just a few miles south of us in Titusville, Pa. 1859. It was the dawn of the oil industry, no longer from sperm whales but now from the earth. People flocked to Western PA to purchase land contributing to the rise of five very wealthy small communities south of us. The early rise of the furniture industry in Jamestown and Buffalo, NY (Kittinger), Ohio (Mitchell & Rammelsburg and Kramer Bros.), the steel industry Buffalo and Pittsburgh, the lumber industry Western Pennsylvania (certain trees found here were used for the highest quality ship's masts in the world) and the automobile industry Cleveland  (small parts mfg. for Detroit) and Buffalo (Pierce Arrow, etc) now resulted in a large number of historic homes with fine furnishings., Pittsburgh was also part of the early beginnings of the manufacturing industry (Pittsburgh Glass. etc.) with these peoples' thirst for furnishings.

As people in these small communities became extremely wealthy they bought many things, at first from Pittsburgh as well as Cleveland & Buffalo, centers of the new  Industrial Revolution in the United States. These people later bought directly out of New York City from world famous dealers, a few bought homes on 5th Ave. as a base for getaways and shopping. Many dealers like Tiffany designed their windows, sold them lighting, silver & jewelry.  Several major dealers in New York City now began buying items for their shops from New England, London and Paris. This was also to accommodate the new 60 wealthiest New York City families in the world as a result of the Industrial Revolution w. steamships, railroads, etc. In more recent years we have bought many items from the local homes of some of these earlier wealthy families and their decendants in Western PA and Ohio.
