You may know a piece’s story without knowing what it might sell for today. We can help explore its maker, materials, condition and comparable sales, developing a realistic resale range for suitable vintage and collectible objects.
Begin with clear photographs, including marks or signatures, dimensions, any condition concerns, and the history you know. Research and any closer examination are agreed before work begins.
An asking price is a starting point; what a piece sells for depends on demand, condition and the selling costs involved. A resale estimate helps inform your choices and does not guarantee a sale price.
This is resale guidance. Formal valuations for insurance, tax or legal purposes require an appropriate specialist.
For consignment, the commission, agreed selling expenses, payment timing and arrangements for unsold items are set out in writing before pieces are accepted. You’ll understand how the proceeds are calculated before moving forward.
Ask us about your pieces ↗︎Downsizing or working through a family collection can mean parting with pieces that hold memories. We help suitable objects find their next chapter, with care for their stories.
We consider suitable vintage and collectible pieces for consignment, drawing on Valerie’s retail experience and lifelong interest in art and antiques. Selection begins with the piece, its condition and whether it is a good fit for the shop.
If you would also welcome help deciding what to keep or how to arrange your next home, explore House & Home.
Start with photographs, any background you know, condition and your timing. A conversation helps establish suitability and the work involved.
Before items are accepted, confirm commission, selling costs, responsibilities and payout terms in writing. Pricing and sales timing depend on the individual pieces.
For accepted pieces, the agreed service can include research, photography, descriptions, listings and management of the sale.
One treasured object or a collection you’re ready to work through—tell us a little about the pieces, their condition, and your timing. You do not need to have every decision made.
