Bidder Reviews for Howard & Thomas Auction House (118)

I received a sideboard that I spent quite a bit of money for, and it had active woodworm in it. As a dealer, there are few things more concerning than something like this, as it is a liability. When I asked for reimbursement to treat the piece, their response was 'As-Is, Where-Is, without recourse.' Anyone who spends any time with furniture can spot active woodworm quite easily, and their inability to help financially with this issue or take responsibility for it does not sit well with me. It is also possible their warehouse is infected, beware.

I have had a few interactions with Howard and Thomas. Each has been issue-free. They have responded quickly to my questions and facilitated pick-up smoothly.

The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Prompt information and shipping.

My first time using an auction house that did that. It worked very well. Streamlined the whole process. I hope more auction houses start using this service.

Bid with confidence... super auctioneer!

Very professional, item just as described, communication kept me up to date. East to follow favorite items and bid.

They do an outstanding job and excellent service.

This pocket watch is so much more impressive in appearance and condition than the photos on the site. The shipping process provided a lump sum cost option that was easier to execute than contacting the auction house, arranging for shipment and paying separately. The item was securely packaged and arrived intact. The pocket watch is in very fine condition and most likely cleaned before the auction because it runs exactly on time. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Overall great item.

I really hope to work with you again.

Great items; great prices and they offer in-house shipping for smaller items-another perk!

I had such a wonderfully positive experience with the folks at Howard & Thomas. They were very friendly, communicative and gracious in accommodating my schedule for pick-up-plus the chairs were even more beautiful in person. I highly recommend them!:)

Auction went very smoothly from bidding to final payment. The super bonus was the great job of in house packing and shipping. It was wonderful!

The purchase was packed with care, arriving on n pristine condition. Very credible and timely responses. Highly recommended!!

It was a wonderful experience bidding and winning the item I wanted. I would engage Howard & Thomas Auction House again.

I needed to change my shipping address. Howard and Thomas were very kind and accommodating.

Items as described and very friendly staff at Howard & Thomas... one could not ask for more.

The principles of Howard and Thomas are dedicated and provide excellent service-albeit condition, provenance-images and more

I have bought several items from Howard and Thomas. When I have a question they get right back to me with an answer. If there is some obvious issue with condition they go out of their way to make sure it is apparent in the photos. It's always a pleasure!

nearly all prints were reproductions copys sadly but inhouse shipping was fantastic thanks

Exactly as described! Satisfied.

Experience was good overall but all of the slabs had inventory stickers placed directly on them and getting the residue off was not fun. Would be much better if you placed the slab in a Resealable Card Sleeve and placed the sticker on the sleeve instead.

Exceeded my high expectations.

Howard & Thomas Auction House very helpful, responses timely, purchase and shipping process glitch free.
