Very Pleased, Excellent Experience
I purchased a painting, and the condition of the painting exceeded my expectations (by a lot!). I had to call in because the 3rd part shipper was taking a long time to arrange for a pickup. The John Moran rep was friendly and helped me to get in touch with the shipper. It took the shipper very long to actually get the item to me, but the quality and care of the packaging was best in class! Overall, I am VERY pleased with this purchase and would recommend this auction house to everyone.

Very professional
I was very pleased overall with the professionalism of John Moran auctions. I would have liked more and better pictures of the item on the website. I gave four stars with regard to that point.
