Awesome to work with!
We bought a ginormous antique sideboard that was HEAVY! They were ready for us when we arrived and all but loaded it for us. These folks are super on-the-ball!

Very Helpful and They Worked to Rectify a Problem
I purchased a vase from Main Auction Galleries and was dissatisfied with the purchase. They worked to rectify the problem and ultimately found an equitable solution. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again.

Nice items and good service, but no in-house shipping.
All items were as described and pictured and invoicing and transfer to their third-party shipper was fast. I have had some bad experiences with overpriced third-party shippers, but Elliot at Safe Ship NKY got my items shipped quickly at a reasonable price.
