Esteemed Auction House-Only wish they did their own shipping!
Loved my experience with A. H. Wilkens Auctions! I was nervous to bid with an auction in another country (I'm USA and this house is in Canada). The house was very responsive to all of my questions. The items were very accurately described-in fact I felt they were even more beautiful in person! They sent an invoice quickly and I was able to pay easily. I only wish they did their own shipping. The shipping house they recommended was great and easy to use but I do love it when you can get all in one place. I'd still join in their next auction!

Stressfree, seamless international payment system, smooth pickup and ship.
A. H. Wilkens makes every step easy to follow. I am particularly impressed with their worry free payment procedure. A special shout out to Perry at Safer Shipping for packing fragile item with molded soft foam and lightning shipping.

EXCELLENT AND TOP-QUALITY EXPERIENCE
The item sold was a very rare Scottish nutmeg grater by Alexander Graham Wighton of Edinburgh Scotland (Circa 1830). This item is perfect! Everything was excellent from registering to bid, to item lightning fast arrival (Safer Shipping A. K. A. Envoy). Highly recommended!
