Shawn at Showplace was fantastic from start to finish. Showplace took a good number of items (both big and small) from my parent’s estate apartment, brought three movers, were super efficient and paid a good amount for the items they took. These were good quality items which we would have donated or junked through junkluggers so they saved us the expense of removing the items and paid us to be able to resell them. Great people to work with! Highly recommend.

We recently sold our Manhattan condo and needed to sell a group of designer furniture and decorative objects by Poul Kjærholm / Fritz Hansen, Piero Lissoni / Living Divani and others. Because of our closing, we had a firm deadline. Showplace offered a solid price and quickly arranged a pickup to meet the timeline. The team was friendly and responsive; everything was done without a hitch. We made the right call

I recently had to clear out my boss’s office space, which was decorated with valuable art and antique furniture. I met with, and got quotes from, several auction houses. Showplace offered me the best, fairest price. They took everything, even items that were not very valuable, and absorbed the moving and shipping costs. Claire was extremely knowledgeable, professional, reliable and trustworthy. Not sure where any of the negative reviews came from, but I would HIGHLY recommend Showplace.

I can’t imagine that selling an estate is ever easy. But Shawn and the people at Showplace made the process as easy as possible. I live out of state, so having people I could trust was critical. Showplace was professional, fast, knowledgeable, courteous, and fair. It was also helpful that they didn’t just cherry-pick the most valuable items (like modern art) but purchased most of the belongings. That meant I didn’t need a team to help me organize, donate, sell, or throw away things. They made my life easier at a difficult time.

I’m the executor of an estate that had modern art in a storage facility. We arranged to meet at the facility, their curator unloaded it all into the hallway (some of the paintings were rather large), and they bought it all at a good price.

My mom passed away with an estate on the upper east side of Manhattan. Many auction and estate companies wanted to pick and choose which items (silver, gold, art work) they would take and make an offers on. Shawn came down and helped me by not only working around my schedule because I lived and worked out of state, but he also made a fair offer for all the items. Showplace not only removed built ins (chandelier, art stands) carefully and patched the holes but also replaced the chandeliers with fixtures so the apt could be sold without the need of another contractor or clean up crew to come in. The workers were nice, respectful and efficient. I highly recommend Showplace and I have already referred people to them.

Showplace went about and beyond to help get our mom’s estate, which included fine art, Picasso ceramic, furnishings on the Upper East Side liquidated and ready to put on the market! They were a pleasure to work with and we have already highly recommended them and will continue to do so! Thanks again Showplace!

It was time to sell our beautiful 2 bedroom west side apt overlooking Central Park and Showplace was the perfect company to fully dispose of all our modern furniture and selected artwork. They did everything they said they would led by Shawn Leventhal who visited the apt and gave us a reasonable offer that we could trust. The movers were first class supervised by Wendy B. from Showplace and we had a check on the spot! Thank you Showplace!

We had a wonderful experience with Showplace Fine Art & Estate Buyers. Shawn was very pleasant and walked us through the whole process and his team performed the pickup which was quick and well organized. We couldn’t be more pleased with the process from start to finish. Thank you!
