Bidder Reviews for California Historical Design (397)

Looking forward to the next one. Thanks.

Always a pleasure to deal with CA Historical Design

Would definitely buy from again!

The woodblocks I purchased were as described and I am very pleased. They make a wonderful addition to my collection.

I purchased a set of bookends which were exactly as described. Being in NorCal, local pickup was fast and easy. I would bid in future auctions here.

Great selection of gorgeous pottery! Thank you.

That’s right, CHD is the best, period! Great multiple high quality pictures of each lot with written descriptions that are spot on. Shipping is fast and packaging top of the line. I love the diversity of the lots offered both it type and quality. Wonderful price range that lets everyone in on the action. Keep it up, Gus! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Quality of this specialized dealer is expert, service is personal, and I didn't even have to arrange my own shipping!

Always wanted a Spitle piece and now I have it! Thanks CHD!!

Best auction items, great price estimates, so easy to work with. My favorite auction house hands down!

The large piece of Rookwood was accurately described and photographed. It was carefully double-boxed for safe shipment.

Great communication and service by Gus throughout the auction and even during the auction. I felt a personal touch that made his service exceptional. Fast shipping and I loved my 7 items! I couldn't ask for more.

Great service, answered all questions promptly.

This auction house is top notch. Always accurate, timely, and a pleasure to work with.

Perfection as always! Thank you!

Table was described in listing as, "L & JG Stickley 54" w Two-Drawer Library Table c1910. Signed. "but table was NOT signed. Messaged seller, and after I confirmed that I went over every square inch and the table was not signed, there was no further reply from them. Probably an honest mistake on seller's part, but it's highly likely that the mistake cost me some money, as I'm sure the second place bidder who jacked my bid up also had every reason to believe he was bidding on a signed Stickley. Reluctant to leave a bad review, but felt it was unprofessional to not offer any remedy, an apology, or even a reply to my last message.

All items are well photographed and accurately described with complete info and any condition issues

good to deal with, description, transactions and fast shipping

Quick, free delivery and good communication!

Beautiful image, lovely frame. I've adored all things Mackintosh for years. Thank you.

Very knowledgeable and love the extra attention to delivering and unpacking my items! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again and highly recommend!

This was my third time buying from this auction house and I again had a wonderful experience. The item was described accurately and the invoice was sent quickly. I always appreciate in-house shipping! It makes the auction experience so much easier.

Gus at CHD is first class. He explains values and actually does the delivery himself. Very knowledgeable in his realm and has high quality merchandise. 5 star!

Very simple payment and shipping process. It was a pleasure working with them.

Accurate item description and very easy shipping service. You can’t ask for more.
