Witherell

The Witherell family has been active antique appraisers in Sacramento and the Bay Area for 45 years. My father Brad held his first antique auction in San Francisco in 1981 and passed his passion on to me, Brian Witherell. Our deep interest in preserving artifacts of the past and serving our clients with appraisals and antique auctions evolved over the years to build our reputation as the region’s most trusted auction house. We are proud to provide professional services as antique appraisers in Sacramento who make personal visits to most of Northern California and San Francisco for antique appraisals. We also do online antique appraisals but know there is nothing quite like holding a piece of the past in your hand to assess its authenticity, age and potential sales value in an antique auction.
From Sacramento we visit clients from Redding to Fresno and San Francisco. Antique appraisers must have broad general knowledge of items and also be able to call on experts worldwide for detailed information about items of value and antiques for online auction sale from Sacramento to the world. We are pleased to have a robust network of specialists as close the iPad we use to send photos and details that help us provide efficient services to our customers looking for trusted antique appraisers. From San Francisco’s big city marketplace to small towns of the Sierra, Witherell’s travels to help clients enter the excitement of online estate auctions.
Sacramento, in fact all of Northern California, is rich in Old West antiques and Gold Rush history. It’s exciting to discover items from the past hidden away or long forgotten that become treasures in an online antique auction. The San Francisco area also offers excitement for exploring and unearthing items of value for antique auctions from Sacramento to global buyers.

Great Auction Company
Witherell was offering a very seldom seen, except perhaps every few years at Sotheby's or Christie's, a very large and beautifully carved fin de siecle Meerschaum pipe deaccessioned from the now shuttered 'Ernst Muzeum' in Budapest in the late 1920s. I am not a rich guy, but I collect old Meerschaums. When I saw this item my heart jumped into my mouth. I did not expect to win but I did. Now I have my singular museum worthy masterpiece! ❤ ️ 🙏 💎. Witherell was great, timely communications, easy to complete payment, and shipping. And since this was a fragile and valuable antique, may I say the shipping insured was fantastic, packed like a museum conservator! Just a great experience for an average Joe who snagged a rich man's treasure! ❤ ️ 🙏 😁
