Bidder Reviews for California Historical Design (397)

This is not the first time that I have dealt with California Historical Design nor, definitely, not the last! Every time that I bid on something in one of their auctions and win, invariably I am very well pleased! Their descriptions and photographs of items as well as their condition reports are always very accurate and clear! Their shipping is done in-house so customers are not "scalped" by third-party shippers, and it is done well and fast! In all ways, this auction house has exceeded my expectations!

Great items, well described and in excellent condition.

I love working with these people; I've bought items from several auctions. Of course you can see they manage to offer an amazing selection of items. They're also very friendly and helpful to work with, and even go above and beyond to deliver a personal touch. I highly recommend them, (and I'm total stranger and have no connection to them in anyway-I've just really enjoyed working with them).

My third or fourth purchase-

If anything, the photographs undersell the items. The bar for minimum quality and condition of the pieces is definitely at a higher standard.

Great auction house. VERY professional. A Pleasure v

Great people to deal with, held in high regard by collectors and dealers alike!

This is a very professional business, and they handle their auctions quite well.

Prefer to see items in person next time.

questions answered promptly; right on unembellished images, quick ship well packed and took time to communicate after sale

The high level of service must mean this is much more than just a business: they run things like it is a commitment to their honesty and fairness.

Enjoy the selection that’s provided each auction. Top quality. Excellent Service & Shipping.

Gus Bostrom is a great guy; he's always helpful and ships quickly. I've done business with him for several years and I've never been disappointed.

The item I purchased was exactly as described. Packaging & Shipping were expertly accomplished in rapid delivery and overall great auction house experience. i never had to leave my home to find just what I've been looking for! Would definitely work with them again! Honest & reliable. Could not ask for anything more! Thank You!

Beautiful Arts and Crafts furniture, pottery, jewelry, etc.

Superlative.

My only comment is that the prices are very high and a drop in prices would really help.

very knowledgeable and gives excellent explanations and condition reports

this was my first online auction purchase. I did not enjoy the process. frankly, I think I prefer to touch a piece before I buy it. shipping is also an added cost that weighs into the total investment decision. I also thought I had paid through paypal and the vendor had to call me and convince me that he had not been paid. I found this strange.

We love your auctions. Fun experience.

Excellent communication. Excellent delivery of item.

Gus is awesome and his items are perfect. I highly recommend California Historic Design. Thanks
