Are you selling?

If you're ready to sell, I'm ready to buy. You will get the fairest possible prices, courteous responses, professional dealings and confidential transactions. As long as you understand that I'm a full-time dealer and that I must make a fair profit on what I buy from you, then dealing with me will be easy.

I will buy a single item or a complete estate, especially big important collections -- the bigger and more important, the better. I want to buy art glass and art pottery, lamps, Icart etchings and paintings, Tiffany desk sets, paintings, etc., etc., etc. Sometimes I'm looking for particular items because I've had specific requests. For instance, right now I'm especially looking for Tiffany lamps, all kinds including leaded, Favrile and lily lamps; Gallé blownout vases and very large vases; good Le Verre Francais vases especially with animals or trees; fine Daum Nancy glass; Tiffany desk sets in patterns such as Grapevine, Pine Needle, Spanish, Byzantine, 9th Century, Nautical, Pond Lily, Art Deco, and Double X and new to my list of wants is anything RUSSIAN -- enamels, especially by Fabergé, porcelain, silver and fine bronzes (not reproduction).

I'm also very interested in buying important collections of anything. If you've got a good collection of paintings, historical guns, toys, duck decoys, anything good, I'm interested. Price is no object. I'll pay a finder's fee for any leads that result in purchase.

Photos are very helpful and important. You can email them or use regular mail. If you prefer to speak on the telephone, I'm available. Include a brief description of sizes and condition. Transactions will go smoothest if you tell me your asking price first. I will reply with a yes, no or possibly an offer. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Just click on "Contact Me" in the black bar at the top (fourth one) and send me an email.
