Why Sell Your Collectibles Now?

The market for well-preserved antiques and collectibles is active and competitive, especially for:

  • Authentic pieces with historical significance

  • Items tied to well-known designers, silversmiths, or brands

  • Rarities that are no longer in production

  • Vintage luxury goods with crossover appeal in the jewelry, art, or decor markets

With increasing demand for unique, high-quality objects from estate sales and private collections, May 2025 remains a great time to sell. Our buyers understand what collectors and dealers are looking for—and we’re connected to networks that reward quality.


Our Process: From Appraisal to Offer

Step 1: Book a Private Consultation

You can meet with us in our Coral Gables or Doral office, or request an in-home evaluation anywhere in South Florida.

Step 2: Professional Evaluation

We examine your items for age, condition, provenance, material, and market desirability. Every piece is evaluated with care and discretion.

Step 3: Receive a Competitive Offer

You’ll get a clear, fair-market offer based on historical data, current demand, and verified materials (gold, silver, gemstones, etc.).

Step 4: Instant Payment

If you accept the offer, we issue payment immediately via Zelle, check, or wire transfer.


What Makes an Antique Valuable?

While age is important, we also look for:

  • Craftsmanship & Materials: Handcrafted or made from precious metals

  • Condition: Clean, complete, and minimally restored

  • Rarity: Limited production, unique maker’s marks, or family provenance

  • Brand & Origin: Known designers, silversmiths, or collectible regions (e.g., French, British, American)

  • Documentation: Original boxes, papers, or historical notes (when available)

Even if your items are unmarked or worn, don’t throw them away or sell them as scrap. Many antique items hold value that goes beyond their surface appearance.
