Testimonials

Thank you so much for your diligence and detail in producing the appraisal report. I could (and will) spend a lot of time digesting the descriptions and references. Having lived with most of this furniture for the past 35 years, it is gratifying to gain an appreciation for its provenance and estimated value. Your report also persuaded me that I should continue to invest in restoration.
Debra

Dear Martine, I have received your appraisal, thank you. It is a detailed and comprehensive presentation and will be useful to me in disposing of the pieces. I am glad to learn the provenance of the furniture even though they are not true antiques, but I have loved having them and hope that someone else will enjoy them as I relinquish them. The suggestions you offer for disposal are appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet you and watch you at work.
Barbara Himber, Flemington, NJ

Hi Martine, You were so nice to work with on Thursday. I can see why you are so successful! Thanks for sending the charitable donation fact sheet. I’ll be in touch! Thank you.

I looked at the appraisal, and I am very pleased with the professional appraisal that you made. Thank you so much!
Amir, Medallion Gallery

I just wanted to thank you so much for your presentation. You are amazing! Considering we had no internet working for most of your prep and no printer, I am grateful and amazed at how cool, calm and professional you were for our presentation. I have been working on bringing these events to The Fountains for many years and by far you are by favorite. Thank you again. It was a treat.
Suzy LaPick, The Fountains at Millbrook

Dear Martine, Thank you for your assistance during this distressing time for us and taking the time to explain the current state of the Oriental rug and antique market.

Thanks again.
