Welcome! I have been busy finding the best items you can find and scouring the big antique shows and getting first pick for all the best items. I will pay more for items from dealers prior to them setting up at antique shows, estate sales, auctions. I buy only the best and have an eye for superb style and quality. I have pickers who come to me from all over the country with fresh to the market antiques, decorative arts, and everything in between. I am sure you all would agree that good quality pieces are becoming increasingly difficult to find on ebay let alone the shows, estate sales, auctions, etc. I work very hard to find these items and this is what separates me apart from the rest. You will not find the items I offer again and you can trust my discerning eye to find superb quality.
Please take into full consideration that our starting price in NO way reflects what we have into the items listed. We trust in the ebay system and believe the market will find the right prices for the pieces. We go to great lengths to bring the finest quality on ebay with NO reserves. Many people are astounded at the quality we consistently offer and are repeat buyers. Often times we put collections together just so that you will have a choice within that category.. Often times you will search ebay for quality antiques and there will be few if ANY bids on many of the items. Many people are very suprised to see there are bids on all of my items. I don't think there are too many sellers out there willing to let the market decide the true value of an object I ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. It's not unusual for me to spend a day or two driving to an auction or working with estate sellers to find one or two good items that week and list them on ebay only to sell an item at a loss. I work at the fringe of current market trends and know what people are looking for. I often see my items at antique shows selling for three, four times what they sold for here on ebay. I strive to get the best. we work to provide the best items possible with few problems. Please keep an eye out every week for new items I will be listing. This Spring and summer we will impress you with the same fine quality we have been offering, at "No" reserves and our consistent $9.99 start to our auction. In no way does this reflect what we have invested in these items. We ship all over the world..
Here we have gorgeous period 1780-1810 Sevres Tall hand painted portrait vase. The courting couple is superbly painted with extremely fine details unlike some o the pieces one see's today. The work is quite fine and this piece sits on a gorgeous chunk of finely carved marble with amazing Champlave base, and collar (neck) The ormolu is fantastic with superbly detailed work into the Bronze. The piece is also a scenic piece with Castles and fine details on this as well. This is a large and special example. I am offering some incredible pieces this week. Bolted bottom and simply an amazing piece for any collection of fine French or portrait pieces. Standing 13" tall with a diameter of 5 1/2" and has a large superb presence. No chips, cracks or repairs. A great piece, being sold to the highest bidder!
No reserve as always. We accept check or money order (preferred) and also take paypal. We ship Anywhere in the world
We do not charge a handling fee with shipping. We are now listing shipping price, but please take into consideration these prices are "Without" insurance and we ask that you "WAIT" to pay for won items after the auction so we may add the necessary Insurance (required) into the invoice. Again! Do not pay for the item until we send you an invoice through ebay. These prices are also for East coast costs and West of the Rockies will require an additional charge. It's not us as the USPS has raised their rates 1/3. We ship Priority and pack very, very well. Insurance is included in all shipping prices. Our prices are very good. I know you will be happy. Please remember that all items are sold "as is" and sold that way, unless I make a mistake in the description.
Please look at my "Sellers Other items page" for a look at all of our best items we are listing this month. Many of these are superb. We believe these are the best pieces and it should be an important decision. All sales are final, and are as is.
We do our best to answer "All" questions asked of us. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours. Happy Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
