(UPDATE) It\u2019s mid-January, 2024, and I\u2019m having second thoughts about what I\u2019ll be doing going forward. I\u2019ve been doing really good business from my website and in no particular hurry to sell my inventory. I\u2019ve been buying a few things here and there, which I\u2019ve been listing on my website. So for the time being, I\u2019m going with the flow. If estates come my way, I\u2019ll work with those. But if few or none are coming my way, I\u2019ll continue to buy and sell from my website.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n
For about 50 years I bought and sold American and French Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass and lamps. The point has come where I won\u2019t be doing that much longer. I will be selling off my remaining inventory at great discounts to get down to zero. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to keep doing the same thing, but it\u2019s gotten so much more difficult. Most antique shows have failed or have been severely cut back. And unfortunately my best clients have died within the last year. <\/p>\n
I was all set to exhibit at my last show ever, in Miami, this January, 2024, but you know the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. I took a bad fall and broke a couple of vertebrae. So it looks like my last show in Winnetka in November, 2023 was indeed my last show. Too bad. I was looking forward to the Miami Show. I have some really nice items that I wanted to sell at the show.<\/strong><\/p>\nSo I ask that you check out what I have left to sell. It\u2019s several hundred items, of the best quality, all hand-chosen my me. Some are listed on my website but many are not, as I don\u2019t have the time to photograph and list them all. So please ask and I\u2019ll send photos.<\/p>\n
What I have pivoted to is selling other people\u2019s items, mostly estates. I\u2019m in the process of selling the contents of a 20,000 sq. ft. home in upstate New York, as well as the Jamaica Estates estate of a deceased friend of mine. I\u2019m also working on selling the artwork from the estate of a famous artist. <\/p>\n
If you are a relative, a friend, or an attorney, and you have one item, or several items, or the estate of a living or deceased friend or relative to sell, please let me know. My fee will be 5% \u2013 15%, depending on the number, value and quality of the items. I\u2019ll take care of everything, so all you have to do is watch, wait for the items to be sold and receive a check. I personally know most of the auctioneers in the United States. I know who\u2019s honest and who isn\u2019t. I know all the ins and outs of the auction business, so I can negotiate the best deal for you. You can try to do it yourself, but you\u2019ll end up with the best result if you trust it to the expert. You\u2019ll get the most money with the least hassle. It doesn\u2019t matter where you live. If the value is sufficient, I\u2019ll fly out to do business with you in person.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
