ESTATE SERVICES
Handling an estate can be overwhelming. Whether you have a few things to sell or are dealing with the entire contents of a home, our team will guide you through the selling process with sensitivity and professionalism. We work with families, executors and estate professionals on a regular basis. We present competitive offers for outright purchase of individual items, small collections, or entire estates. As a solutions based company, we can also provide full estate liquidations and clean-out services. We will either directly handle or recommend a partner company leave the premises “broom clean.”
Working with Showplace Fine Art & Estate Buyers is often the fastest way to monetize the tangible property including fine art, decorative arts, jewelry, furnishings and other objects in an estate and get a home emptied and ready to be sold or transferred to the new occupants.
The best way to start the process is to send us photos of the home and items for sale. Be sure to let us know about where you are in the process as it helps us tailor a solution to fit your needs.
What information do we need from you to start the process?
1) PHOTOS
We do not expect professional quality photos and are not worried if rooms are not magazine cover ready.
Tips for sending photos:
- Take several pictures of each room to give our team an overview of what is for sale.
- Be sure to take clear photos of items on bookshelves, built-ins, China cabinets (open the doors), and curio cabinets.
- Take group shots of fine jewelry, costume jewelry, watches, silver and other smaller objects
- Be sure to include photos of things like signatures on artwork, and markings on pieces are helpful.
2) INFORMATION ON TIMELINE, LOCATION & SITUATION
- Is the house or apartment on the market?
- Is the house or apartment in contract?
- Where is the house or apartment located?
3) INFORMATION & BACKGROUND ON WHAT YOU HAVE
Any additional information you have about the items

Showplace was so easy to deal with! After a first email with pictures, I immediately got a response with an estimate. Selling all my furniture in one go was a huge relief. Hassle free and quick. Shawn Leventhal walked me through the process and within a week, they picked up my furniture. Highly recommend for estate sales or just redecorating your home.

Had an incredible experience selling my mother’s art deco furniture in her Park avenue apartment. We had a tight timeline to get all the furniture out and Showplace was able to get me an offer and pick everything up within days of initially calling them.
The moving crew was very professional and efficient! They were able to disassemble, wrap and move out our office, living room set, 3 beds, and a vanity all within 3 hours.
Andrew was very responsive and helpful in the days leading up to the pick up, and Sean was a joy to work with on the day of the pick up. They bought everything outright, so no need for me to wait for anything to sell before receiving a check.
10/10 would recommend Showplace to anyone looking to sell antique furniture in the city!

We were downsizing and closed our New York apartment on Park Avenue. We had art, antiques and miscellaneous objects for sale. The Showplace Team was a dream to work with.They were patient as we determined which items we wanted to sell. Andrea was exceptionally responsive, professional, and accommodating. There were issues with the building but the Showplace team remained cool and professional and made everything work smoothly.

My experience with dealing with Showplace was excellent.
Shawn showed great and experienced behavior while helping me with the sale of my items. Was always very kind and also made sure the pickup of them was done properly and helped to make sure all was well done.
Apart this, he was very nice and helpful when I later visited your showroom and expressed my desire to purchase one of your items. He showed me around and checked that my choice was good and the item I purchased worked and any repairs necessary were done.
I would recommend your Showroom and the good services of Shawn.

Years ago we had inherited a large home’s worth of pieces – crystal, African masks, signed prints, water colors, tiny sculptures. It was mostly not our vibe, but we could not figure out how to part with it. The variation in types and value would have required us to sell each of about 100 pieces individually, through different channels. Some through consignment, some auctions, some EBay. That was too daunting to cope with.
We turned to Showplace. We sent pictures of everything in advance to give them an idea of what we had. Shawn came to our house one day, looked each item over, taking most (but rejecting a few). Then he offered a price that we found equitable for the bundle. Then yhey packed it all up and wrote me a check. At the end of the day, we felt relieved they had helped us part with so many things that no longer sparked joy, and were hopeful that they will find a place in a home where they do.

Dealing with Amos and Andrea from Showplace to sell the contents of my mother’s estate was a first class, stress-free experience. I met with auction houses, other estate buyers, silver specialists, vintage designer clothing buyers and people that arrange tag sales to sell my mother’s vast collection of designer clothes, bags, furs, paintings, sculptures, silver, furniture, tableware and accessories. Amos made my life easier by buying everything at once and paying up front. Amos and Andrea struck just the right note of gentleness and sympathy while dealing with us at a difficult time. I highly recommend Showplace for buying estates or even for downsizing.

Showplace Fine Art & Estate Buyers were a real pleasure to deal with, and we received a very satisfying sale price for my late mother’s estate contents. Andrea and Amos spent far more time examining my mother’s jewelry, artwork, ornaments and furniture than any of the other prospective estate buyers, and were quick to address any questions we had. In the end, their offer was well informed and significantly better than the competition. I have no hesitiation in recommending them highly.

As an art appraiser and consultant, I often refer clients to Showplace when they have items they are looking to sell on short notice. They are extremely friendly and professional, they pay immediately, and are a pleasure to work with. They will even arrange for broom sweep services which is a godsend for estates. I recommend them highly.
