About us
Park Avenue Antiques is in the business of buying and selling antiques and collectibles. We also offer appraisals, handle estate sales, and are an agent for Wiebold Studios restoration services. As an added service Park Avenue Antiques has decided to offer silver polishing services as well. We have been in the region for roughly 30 services.
This morning, the insurance company again refused to insure the silver, saying that they needed a more detailed description. So I'm in basically the same situation except that I have a ball-park estimate of the value and some knowledge of how silver is appraised. I think the proprietor should have told me that the insurance would require a more detailed appraisal and offered to do this - or referred me to someone who could. I would have been willing to pay for a detailed appraisal. I'm disappointed - and out the time. On the plus side, this is a beautiful shop with fascinating items for sale, with friendly knowledgeable staff; so now I know an excellent place for antiques.
Description of Work: I asked that some silver pieces be looked at for their value - for sale or for insurance purposes. The proprietor was very responsive and educated me about the background and value of the silver. I decided to keep the silver and asked for something for my insurance company - which has not been willing to insure it until they knew its value. The proprietor gave me a receipt for her services that said "Consultation $40. Miscellaneous Silver Items Insurable Value $$$." I will add that I had made an appointment close to the shop's closing time, with the proprietor agreeing to stay late to accommodate me - I left about 30 minutes after the usual closing time

I would rate them an A overall and would absolutely use them again if needed.
Description of Work: Park Avenue Antiques did some antique appraisal work for me. I had a small item and they didn't charge me anything. I think the cost depends on the complexity of the item.
